Pro Tips

The Centre Piece

A central part of wedding décor, centre pieces serve as a visual anchor for the reception, tying the aesthetic together in harmony. From table numbers to floral arrangements to photos of you and your future spouse, there's no shortage of ideas to create a centre piece that is as unique as you are. The best ideas usually feature items that are special to the couple, such as books, framed quotes, or childhood pictures. Complete the design with a few flowers and a couple of candles, for a truly stand-out piece your guests won’t be able to stop talking about.

The Backdrop

Setting the scene for one of the most important moments of your life, the ceremony backdrop has to be something truly picture worthy. While nature usually makes for the best background, a few added details will help frame the scene. Go for a simple garden arch or a cost-effective balloon arch and decorate it using flowers, branches, greenery, draped fabrics, fairy lights and whatever else your imagination can think of.

The Table

Whether you’re having a buffet or a waited dinner, the table setting will be the one aspect of the décor your guests are guaranteed to notice. It’s important that it matches your colour scheme, centre piece and overall aesthetic flawlessly. From artificial grass table runners to heart-shaped dishes and whimsical glassware, the choice of accoutrements will really bring your tables to life and set your wedding decoration apart.
