How is your big-day checklist coming along?

If there are some pennies left in the pot for some fab finishing touches, check out these ideas. They’ll take your wedding to the next level – how can you resist?

Balloon displays today are a world away from the ones we remember from our childhoods. Now oh-so chic, they create a fabulous focal point for your venue and are one of our trends to watch out for in 2023. Do leave it to the professionals though as there's still a tightrope to walk between classy and tacky and they know that they're doing!
Hannah at Johanna Event Hire (www.facebook.com/ Johannaeventhire) says, “We’re noticing lots of requests for ceremony backdrops and our full moon gate is proving popular, providing a stunning photo opportunity for the newlyweds. What’s more, creating stunning entrances by way of a wedding arch, flower frame or fabric draping leaves your guests with the feeling they’re entering a special space.”

Kerry at Furrytail Weddings (www.furrytail-weddings.co.uk) says, “Pets are family and couples don’t want to leave them out.” So, hiring a specialist supplier can make this a breeze. Kerry continues, “Dedicated staff take care of your fur baby’s transport and care needs or help them carry out special duties such as being a ring bearer. What’s more, here at Furrytail Weddings we’re fully-insured to meet the new Kent registrar rules surrounding animals and weddings.”

Hannah says, “There seems to be as much focus on the ceremony styling and florals as on the traditional items for the wedding breakfast. Couples booking their 2023 weddings are still loving traditional, classic foliage and florals in soft white – it really is the epitome of romance. Luxurious aisle runners paired with these popular florals create a beautiful space for guests during the ‘I dos’ and when everything is tied into the wedding breakfast palette the flowers can be utilised after the ceremony.”

The latter can become a lasting reminder of the wedding if planted in the garden or a container afterwards.
“Large statement plants such as olive or bay either side of a doorway or to define an outdoor aisle can then be moved to the reception. Small, planted containers can be great as table arrangements – choose an outdoor or indoor selection of plants depending on the time of year. These also make great presents for guests.”

“UK-grown lavender, olive or rosemary can be used to make place settings and stand up well to being out of water. Small succulents also work beautifully used for the same purpose,” Tanya tells us.
