Instead of attempting to recreate a royal wedding or something straight off a Pinterest board, brides are becoming more interested in doing things their own way; celebrating who they are as a couple and ensuring their wedding is a fun experience for their guests with plenty of individuality and creativity.Metallics – Surprisingly versatile, they can add an elegant, ethereal, whimsical or extremely natural touch. Glitzy gold, burnished copper or warm rose gold are all becoming popular, however silver is on the wane.

using lighting: pendant lights with bare ‘Edison’ bulbs, chandeliers and candelabras are ideal for casting a soft warm glow.
