"The rustic look is popular at the moment. If you want to create the wow factor, opt for wonderful cascading bouquets full of beautiful roses, orchids and soft flowing greenery with the addition of diamantés and crystals. Use these after the ceremony on the top table and cake tables."
– Annabel Grange from Butterflies and Bows.

"Create centrepieces using tall glass vases, martini vases or even candelabra. Alternatively, you could use rustic jam jars or jugs, displays using garlands and large blooms such as roses, hydrangeas, gladiolus, alliums and anthuriums to give a real wow factor."
– Annabel Grange from Butterflies and Bows.

"Use an arch for the ceremony or behind the top table decorated with flowers and greenery. I would also use short square mirror vases set with large roses, hydrangeas and freesias or a bubbly garland brimming with seasonal flowers for the top table."

"In light of the current world situations, we have started to see a focus on sustainability in weddings that I feel will continue to grow in prominence in 2022. Many couples will approach their wedding with a more conscious focus on sustainability making use of locally sourced produce and recyclable materials."

"Drapes and swags of soft voile will soften the look of bare windows or wedding gazebos and can be dressed in flowers, greenery or organza."

"Fresh flower garlands or greenery decorated with fairylights on beams, fireplaces, entrance doors, posts or bannisters with the modern twist of uplighters or spotlights added around the room are very on-trend."

"We will see couples creating laid-back luxury on their own doorstep combining elegance and beauty with the comforts of familiar surroundings; perhaps still preferring to keep guest numbers smaller for a more intimate wedding celebration."

"Did you know that hosting an event around Christmas can mean you spend less on décor, especially if your venue is known to style it out for the season? It's always helpful to know what decorations they will be using, how they'll look, and where they'll be, so they don't clash with your overall theme and vision of the day. Similarly, don't assume your venue will have any decorations because some may leave it as a blank canvas for you to kit out, so it's always good to double check."
