Your South Wales Wedding - Page number 60 - September/October 2021 (Issue 81)

“Couples have waited for what seems like a lifetime for their big day, and they are choosing romantic colours for the ultimate fairytale wedding. Flowers such as peonies, roses and hydrangeas are proving popular for this trend, as their fluffy textures and deep range of colours ooze a utopian wedding.” – Hayley from Misselthwaite Flowers Ltd. “When viewing your venue, look up too! Could you add statement lanterns and ambient lighting for when your magical day turns darker and more romantic? Macrame lanterns come in all shapes and sizes and add a little lux boho to your day. Adding colour to gorgeous fibres, textures, and intricate knots will make everyone look at your wedding arch differently!” – Claire from Hookedin Cotton. “There have been some great events recently which have brought nature to their tables, and I see this trend continuing into 2022. One highlight was a recent event where everything was themed with lemons and limes. It worked brilliantly, gave a Mediterranean feel to a summer wedding and made the day brighter for everyone. We are working on a wedding in winter 2022, at which woodland animals feature heavily – forming table décor and the table plan itself.” – Beth from Megan & Claude. www.hoo kedincotton.co.uk www.hoo kedincotton.co.uk www.owe nhowellsphotography.co.uk and www . meganandclaude.co.uk www.meg anandclaude.co.uk www.mis selthwaiteflowersltd.co.uk www.mis selthwaiteflowersltd.co.uk “On the other end is a cleaner, more minimalistic table. This sees a return of the crisp white tablecloth and greenery in brighter and finer form than the eucalyptus of the past few years. This look is often paired with glass cylinders and floating candles.” – Beth from Megan & Claude. “With so many shapes, sizes, and builds of frames to choose from – you will only be limited by your imagination. Do not forget to make full use of them and move them around on your day. Consider double-sided use or adding a magnificent quote on a fabric banner on the back. Work with a macrame artist to create a frame design that looks just as good from the back as it does from the front! With sustainable dyeing processes, you can add colour in so many ways, and the range now available in recycled, sustainable cotton cords and ropes is just inspiring!” – Claire from Hookedin Cotton. “Greenery! And lots of it! Couples are looking for a more natural look to complement their picturesque barn or outdoor settings, and this trend ticks all the floral styling boxes! Eucalyptus in all shapes and sizes, ruscus, asparagus fern and olive branches lend themselves perfectly to this trend and can be made into garlands and wreaths to adorn your rustic wedding.” – Hayley from Misselthwaite Flowers Ltd. 60
