Need some inspiration? Enjoy our selection of exciting 2019 wedding trends to look out for… Wearable flowers, creative lighting, lots of velvet and more.
Bold floral statements
Huge floral half-moons or dramatic, larger-than-life floral arrangements (think of the royal wedding last year) are predicted to be popular this year!

Luxurious Velvet
Velvet for everything from fashion to décor is making an appearance this year. This lavish, soft, rich fabric works in so many colours and adds a touch of royal luxury to your wedding day.

Original lighting
Ways of lighting up the wedding venue are becoming more and more creative and unique. Exposed bulbs, lanterns or exotic chandeliers are just some of the diverse ways of illuminating your wedding space.

Strings of flowers and flowers to wear
It seems floral arrangements are getting even longer and more whimsical in 2019, stretching down for a beautiful effect. At the same time flowers are also being worn as accessories for a stunning fresh, summery look.

Statement wedding cakes
While there has been a tendency to offer interesting dessert tables, rather than traditional wedding cakes, having a striking, iconic wedding cake is back in fashion in 2019. Bold, eye-catching confections are bound to leave an impression. Spatula painted cakes look like a work of art. Alternatively go for a tower of cheese as a great option for brides who prefer something savoury.

Ruffles
Fun ruffles for wedding dresses and bridesmaid outfits. Gorgeous with colour also for a really interesting effect. Can you imagine these on the dance floor?

Weddings of the round table
Round table settings and circular formations at wedding ceremonies create a feeling of invitation and intimacy, where every friend and family member is included. Slightly tricky for larger groups, but a great “King Arthur” vibe for the festivities.

Sketch artists
Caricaturists or illustrators can add an element of fun and provide unique form of entertainment for your guests. Something to keep them amused while waiting for the reception to begin… Plus they’ll have a funny memento to take home.
