LOVESTRUCK
STEEL THE SHOW While we’ve seen lots of lace, florals and bold hues in bridesmaids’ gowns over the past couple of years, it’s not a look that every bride loves. For sophisticated, evening weddings, some brides are opting for black for their bridesmaids, but if this is too dramatic, can we suggest GREY? If you want a subdued look that is classic, pretty and goes with any theme, grey is a great option. There are many shades of grey, from deep slate to smoky blue, cool silvers and warm pinky greys, so you’re sure to find something you and your besties love.
FABULOUS FOLIAGE Want a table setting your guests will remember? You don’t have to look any further than your own backyard. NATIVE AUSTRALIAN GREENERY is a wonderful choice for table settings. The subdued hues of native Australian foliage pair beautifully with all sorts of colour themes. But we love them next to crisp, white linen, brass or gold accents and dainty flowers. Natives also smell lovely and they stay looking great until weeks after the last guest has gone home, so will never wilt on the table.

GO FOR BOLD NEW HEIGHTS Ever seen a CHAMPAGNE TOWER at a wedding? Here at salt we thought this was just something that happened in the movies, but we’ve since discovered they are hugely popular for parties of all varieties. And there is no bigger party in your life than your wedding. Towers add a dramatic touch to your wedding speeches. Fill up the tower after your guests have entered the reception room then invite them to select a glass – carefully – before the toasts are made. Not a fan of bubbles? You can create a tower with martini glasses and fill with the cocktail of your choice. Cheers! 62

When considering your wedding day make-up, are you leaning towards shimmering eyes and nude lips? You’re not alone. When it comes to make-up most brides tend to play it safe with understated, flattering tones. But we’re seeing more drama in weddings with bold lips, colourful eye shadows and strong brows. Don’t be afraid to try a RED LIP – there are as many tones of red as there are brides so be sure to play around with colours well before your big day.
