LOVESTRUCK
CENTRE OF ATTENTION GET OUT AND FABULOUS We Queenslanders have always loved an outdoor wedding, but COVID restrictions have made OPEN-AIR CEREMONIES AND RECEPTIONS even more appealing. The good news is you don’t have to compromise on the theme or sacrifice the elaborate decorations you so want when tying the knot outside. There are loads of Sunshine Coast venues that offer elegant outdoor spaces you can personalise, or you can DIY your backyard or garden space. The trend into 2022 is all about relaxed elegance – think fabrics draped over a pergola, rugs strategically placed to create zones, fairy lights on everything, and an abundance of elegant lighting.
We love a CENTREPIECE that does double duty. As weddings became more and more intimate over the COVID years we’ve seen more attention to detail in wedding decor (it’s all about quality over quantity) and that means spending time getting the table settings just right. We are loving those centrepieces that are also delicious platters or are filled with edible goodies such as fruit. Add plenty of flowers to create height and even more colour and you have a winning edible setting.
A PRETTY PARTING GIFT Unfortunately, most wedding flowers – apart from the bouquet – generally end up in the bin by the end of the wedding day. There are ways you can preserve your flowers by pressing them or drying them out (there are even professional services that will help you with this). But we think 2022 is all about sharing the love and that means sending your WEDDING FLOWERS home with your guests. You’ll need to be prepared before the big day by organising to have paper to wrap up small bouquets, some twine and scissors. We suggest giving the job to a creative friend who, towards the end of the evening, can pick those flowers from the arch, table settings or decorations, then wrap them up into little posies before handing them out to guests as they are leaving.
