Finishing touches are so important. They\u2019re the icing on the cake, they tie your whole theme together and show your guests that you\u2019ve thought about every last detail.<\/span><\/p>\n

But here\u2019s the thing \u2013 they don\u2019t have to be expensive. Some of the most beautiful finishing touches we\u2019ve seen in real weddings have been from brides who have used their imagination and creativity. One of our favourite shots of the year so far has to be this beautiful picture of ribbons hanging from a chair back. Simple, elegant and inexpensive \u2013 the perfect finishing touch.<\/span><\/p>\n

All that glitters<\/span><\/p>\n

Wedding flowers<\/a> are the perfect opportunity for brides to make a personality statement. Tangerine is a key colour and works well with pink and gold.<\/span><\/p>\n

Talking of gold, this is the colour to luxe up your wedding look. We love apples covered in gold leaf, gold charger plates, and even the golden wrapping on Ferrero Rocher!<\/span><\/p>\n

The great outdoors<\/span><\/p>\n

Tree-inspired schemes are going to be big this year \u2013 think bark pots, hanging tree decorations and large branch arrangements.<\/span><\/p>\n

When it comes to hanging wedding decorators, our favourite new idea is the pom pom. Easy to make and instantly eye catching, they can be hung from the ceiling at your reception or in your marquee.<\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t forget your aisle when it comes to decorations. Ask your florist to create some simple pew ends and attach them to the end of each pew with a pretty ribbon in your wedding colour(s). For a budget-friendly, alternative finishing touches why not pick some flowers and stand them in jam jars at the entrance to your ceremony?<\/span><\/p>\n

Using lavender seeds to spread a scent is an old wedding florist\u2019s trick and one that\u2019s easy to steal. Simply drop some at the entrance to your marquee and let the guests spread the scent on your shoes as they walk around \u2013 brilliant!<\/span><\/p>\n

Budget Blooms<\/span><\/p>\n

Is your wedding flower budget<\/a> almost gone? Fear not! Add a single stem to every other person\u2019s place setting to pretty up your tables in an instant.<\/span><\/p>\n

When it comes to finishing touches in the hair, peonies or garden roses are so effective. Purse friendly and oh-so pretty, they will work just as well as a comb or tiara.<\/span><\/p>\n

But perhaps the easiest finishing touch to include in your day is a personal, hand written note to your guests. Tell them how much you appreciate them and how important it is that they\u2019re sharing your special day.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
