POPULAR THEMES:

Nudes, peach shades, blush pinks and whites.
Large, messy asymmetrical bouquets with large blooms and abundant foliage
Brides are going very earthy with rustic styling and boho themes. Relaxed, semi vintage events are SOOOO IN!

Add a splash of rose gold or copper and you're on your way to a very ritzy looking event!

Babies breath, burlap and lace have made a massive come back into the wedding scene with pearls and sparkles being swapped out for a more natural, country inspired look

​TIP #1

To save some cash on your venue decorations, why not upcycle some old vases or candelabra with a splash of paint! Places like Bunnings sell a fantastic variety of colours, making it easy to spray new life into old items.
Ask friends or family if they have any old bits and pieces they no longer display as mismatched vases are totally in right now and provide a real rustic/vintage look on the cheap!!
Even washed jam and sauce jars and even cans can be transformed into masterpieces!

Modern couples are now opting for outdoor ceremonies so an arbour or arch is an absolute must!
Whether you choose a beach or a garden venue to say your vows, an arbour is the perfect finishing touch.
They look brilliant on photo's, framing you and your brand new husband especially when adorned with flowers and some sheer curtain tied off to the side.
​

Accent colours that have made a huge impact in the wedding industry recently are navy blue and burgandy tones for that moody, romantic flair.

TIP #2

​Another great money saving idea is to re use your ceremony decorations inside your reception venue!
Usually the flower arrangements that have done their job beautifying your arbour can be removed and repurposed as decoration for your head table or the cake/gift table.

Bunches used to line your aisle on chairs can be popped in the mason jars you upcycled earlier!
