Comfort Is Key…
Keep it comfortable at your ceremony by replacing traditional seating with a collection of love seats and sofas. Incorporate ornate love seats for a classy, sophisticated look or vintage sofas to create a bohemian feel. Mix and match shades and styles but keep the colour scheme consistent to compliment your wedding colours.
Cue The Confetti…
The tradition of throwing confetti has become outdated for many reasons, including the environmental impact it has. For an alternative wedding idea, try biodegradable petal confetti! This is made out of natural petals as well as freeze dried flowers, so you can still have all the rich and beautiful colours of regular confetti without harming your natural surroundings.
It’s Cake O’Clock…
Add a personal touch to your wedding cake with a style that is special to you. It could mean incorporating something meaningful to you and your partner or just featuring something that makes you smile. Wedding cakes don’t have to be traditional so make a statement with your cake.
