VENUE STYLING 53  www.the vintagehousethatcould.co.uk www.rosi ekelly.co.uk Katie Sutton at The Vintage House That Could Katie says: With fewer guests, couples have the option to splash out on more expensive tableware. Most venues offer simple crockery and glassware, but it’s always lovely to include a more luxurious feel with hired pieces. This image demonstrates how well this works with the use of blue and gold details and vintage glasses. Venue styling inspiration DAZZLING DÉCOR W hen it comes to setting the tone for your wedding day, hiring a venue stylist is a perfect way to bring your creative vision to life. This option takes away added stress and ensures all details big and small are taken care of while matching your theme and style. Here at Your East Midlands Wedding , we’ve asked experts from around the region to share inspiration and advice to make the planning process easier. www.thev intagehousethatcould.co.uk www.rosi ekelly.co.uk Katie says: Make the day more intimate by keeping the tables closer together and sharing your top table with more guests. Use handmade napkins to create a more relaxed feel and patterned wallpaper as a runner to add interest to the table. Your guests will be sat there for a long time enjoying each other’s company, so make it feel extra special! INTIMATE WEDDINGS www.thee nglishweddingcompany.co.uk https://lees h awilliamsphotography.pic-time.com Hayley Belcher at The English Wedding Co Hayley says: Intimate weddings don’t have to be basic, using a bright, bold colour palette will make a statement regardless of the guest list or venue size. Use more décor items throughout the day without any additional cost by moving the welcome sign or other pieces from the ceremony to the reception space. www.thee nglishweddingcompany.co.uk www.dcp h otographic.co.uk Hayley says: Venue styling sets the tone for your day and even if your guest numbers are small, a friendly welcome area invites your guests into the venue. Ruby Adds at Love Birds, Weddings & Events Ruby says: Opting for an intimate wedding allows you to create beautiful moments with your guests and ensures you have the time to connect with them all individually. Having a smaller guest list means you can treat yourselves and guests to some special touches. Consider having personalised favours, a portrait artist or a signature cocktail for reception drinks!. www.my lovebirdswedding.com www.nat a lielaurenphotography.co.uk Ruby says: Smaller weddings allow you to find a venue with accommodation for all your guests; this means celebrations can last all weekend with a delicious meal and cocktails the night before, ending with a hearty brunch the following day. www.my lovebirdswedding.com www.nat a lielaurenphotography.co.uk
