The ceremony chair

The ceremony is the first impression your guests will have of your big day and the ceremony chair can be as big or little a part of that as you like! When working towards this style think; plush seats, soft fabrics, gold accents or curved forms. It’s most common to seat approximately a quarter of your guests, so it can be a way to splash out, but in smaller quantities.

Your reception furniture

Keeping to neutrals, by no means has to be boring. Focus on bringing in varying shapes and rich textures. For chairs, consider a classic white bentwood or upholstered velvet. Your table linen can help to create a sense of luxury by having a full drop to the floor in whites, creams, oatmeal or stone colours, paired with either a matching or feature serviette.

Detailed glassware

Ornate and detailed glassware adds another layer to your table setting. Styles such as cut glass, crystal, ribbed or anything with dimension is going to add that extra detail and point of interest to your setting.

Touches of gold

Gold accents can really help to bring the modern twist on this romantic style and add a touch of glamour, creating a bit of variation! Selections such as gold cutlery, glassware or charger plates are a great way to do this.

menus that guests can take home as keepsakes. All things that will make your guests feel special and make your wedding one to remember!

Florals, florals, florals

Florals on the ceiling, floors, tables and walls – there is no limit! Think whites, neutrals, soft pinks and apricots. Depending on your budget you can work with your florist to focus on quality over quantity and still make a big impact! Such as individual flower vessels along the tables.
