Back To Basics
Following the Royal Wedding of The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle’s simplistic dress designs for both her ceremony and evening reception set tongues wagging and has naturally set one of the biggest trends for Spring wedding dresses in 2019. Meghan proved last Spring that plain definitely does not mean boring being the most talked about gown in 2018 and it’s all about going back to basics and opting for simplistic gowns for your perfect show-stopper.
Outside In – Floral Decoration
Weddings and flowers are like two peas in a pod, they can be vital to the decor. The right floral design can make the difference between taking good and GREAT wedding photographs – they can set the tone for your wedding and tie together the essential colour scheme.

Scenting Your Wedding
Fragrance has the powerful ability to transport us back to a significant event or time of your life that you cherish and in recent years, scenting your wedding has become more and more popular with even the Duke and Duchess of Sussex Harry and Meghan opting for French perfumers Diptyque and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge William and Kate opting for Jo Malone for their big days. Visuals and smells are integral human senses that trigger memories and emotions and curating your signature scent can be through candles, room sprays, diffusers and fancy luxurious favours.
Eco-Friendly Weddings
In today’s climate we are becoming increasingly aware of everything we can do to be eco-friendly towards our planet. We are reminded every day about small steps we can make to be more sustainable and weddings are no exception. A simple and much-appreciated swap with your guests could be replacing your place cards with an edible alternative. Rather than have throw away paper cards why not source homemade biscuits with the names of your guests iced on. This doubles up as a name card AND a wedding favour saving you money, helping to save the planet one small step at a time and making your guests very happy with their sweet treat.
Another great way of implementing eco-friendly factors into your wedding planning could be to send your invites via email. Not only does an e-invite save on paper it could also save you time – a valuable asset when planning a wedding. When creating your wedding invitations you usually have to sample the card you want to use, decide on a design, colour scheme, features and then wait to receive mock-ups before deciding on a final product. Whereas if you were to send an e-invite to your guests the design process could be much quicker, not to mention it would also get delivered quicker with more chance of you being able to tell if the recipient has received it.
Grazing Guests
When considering what food you want to provide for your wedding guests there are a number of factors you may want to think about. Such as:
- What the vibe of your big day is – is it a chilled ceremony or more structured set up?
- What time of day will you be eating?
- What is your venue like?
- Do you have a theme?
And one of the easiest ways to tick all of those boxes for a Spring wedding could be simply hosting a grazing table. Think of it like a posh buffet – you can provide everything from fresh fruit, cheese, biscuits, salad and cocktail meats for your guests to nibble on and perhaps book interactive food stations which are an ever-growing popular booking for weddings where you host a branded pop-up restaurant or chain offering food tailored to your specific theme to ensure that quality is within the finest details.
