<h3 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center" id="a-stunning-summer-wedding-for-sue-and-steve-at-the-crown-at-ampney-brook"><strong>A Stunning Summer Wedding for Sue and Steve at the Crown at Ampney Brook</strong></h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A summer wedding for Sue and Steve at  <a href="https://www.crownampneybrook.co.uk" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">t<strong>he Crown at Ampney Brook</strong></a> . The couple chose their venue as they loved the laid-back, relaxed feel of this wedding venue. Further, the location was ideal for their celebration. It boasted ample inside space to celebrate and enough outdoor space with a beautiful little bridge for those fabulous photos.<br><br>I met Sue and her sister Tracey, at <em>The Crown</em> and the three of us hit it off at once. We explored ideas, shared inspirations and discussed colours, fabrics, décor, centrepieces and flowers for the wedding party. In fact we had a glorious time chatting everything weddings – so much so the coffee got cold! And we all went away with homework to do. Me to create the proposal for the venue decor and wedding florals and Sue to make decisions on colours etc.<br><br>But, before the wedding could happen the venue closed for extensive renovations. After much thought, Sue and Steve put their plans on hold and decided to wait for it to reopen.<br><br>As it turned out, that was the best decision they could have made. For the transformation from the original décor of the hotel to its refurbished look was a breathtakingly beautiful one. Indeed nothing remained of the &#8216;before&#8217;. The flooring was new as were the walls and ceilings, bridal suites and guest rooms. Everything was stone and wood with gorgeous details everywhere.</p>

<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="the-wedding-day"><br><strong>The Wedding Day</strong></h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Sue stunned her groom in her full length lace bridal gown. While Steve cut a handsome dash in a blue three-piece-suit with light blue tie. The bridesmaids wore dresses with a subtle baby blue chiffon skirt and silver sequinned bodice.<br><br>It so happened that the summer of 2022 was the hottest on record for decades. Not a cloud in sight to spoil these visions of loveliness.<br><br>The Fabulous Functions team arrived at <em>The Crown at Ampney Brook</em> and installed the white draping around the bar so it wasn&#8217;t a feature in the ceremony and wouldn&#8217;t appear in the photos. <br>We removed it after the ceremony to allow the serving of drinks. Then we placed lanterns in the aisle to the ceremony table and a gorgeous long low arrangement on the registry table.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The lovely rustic trestle tables we arranged in a banquet style setting with four rows and guests setting on both sides of the rows. This style of setting works well in this venue and created a convivial setting for a summer wedding. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We used ruched chiffon runners along the length of the tables. And we then set in place small glass vases with arrangements of fabulous fresh flowers in Sue and Steve’s colour palette of blush pinks, blues and creams.<br><br>Next we placed clear glass candle holders and elegant tapered candles along the centre of the tables in-between the floral arrangements. We also added loads of clear glass tealights holders and tealights. There were multi levels of details and interest along the length of the tables.<br><br>Sue also chose us to create her wedding florals. It was such an honour that she entrusted us with both décor and wedding florals. But it helped us ensure that the flowers used for both the wedding florals and centrepieces complemented each other.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="personal-touches"><strong>Personal Touches</strong></h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We loved the personal touches created by Sue&#8217;s sister Tracey, who made the delicious wedding cake. And Sue had a charm made with photos of both her and Steve’s Mums to add to her bridal bouquet.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="800" height="1200" src="https://www.fabulousfunctionsuk.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Sue-and-Steve-Cake-Cutting-Ceremony-800x1200.jpg" alt="Cake cutting ceremony for Sue and Steve at the Crown at Ampney Brook Cirencester " class="wp-image-7264" srcset="https://www.fabulousfunctionsuk.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Sue-and-Steve-Cake-Cutting-Ceremony-800x1200.jpg 800w, https://www.fabulousfunctionsuk.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Sue-and-Steve-Cake-Cutting-Ceremony-533x800.jpg 533w, https://www.fabulousfunctionsuk.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Sue-and-Steve-Cake-Cutting-Ceremony-768x1152.jpg 768w, https://www.fabulousfunctionsuk.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Sue-and-Steve-Cake-Cutting-Ceremony-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https://www.fabulousfunctionsuk.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Sue-and-Steve-Cake-Cutting-Ceremony-1366x2048.jpg 1366w, https://www.fabulousfunctionsuk.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Sue-and-Steve-Cake-Cutting-Ceremony-scaled.jpg 1707w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></figure>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="the-flowers"><strong>The Flowers</strong></h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Sue had selected a romantic blend of blush pinks, subtle baby blues and creams. So a beautiful bouquet filled with hydrangeas, roses, nigellas, lisianthus, thistles and a whole host of other beauties was the order of the day.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph" style="font-size:clamp(14px, 0.875rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.156), 16px);">About the bridal bouquet: there are so many decisions to make when choosing the design of it. This post covers a few things for you to think about. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-style-rounded"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="683" src="https://www.fabulousfunctionsuk.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Handtied-Bouquet-1024x683.jpg" alt="Hand tied bouquet using fresh flowers pink and cream palette" class="wp-image-5339" srcset="https://www.fabulousfunctionsuk.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Handtied-Bouquet-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://www.fabulousfunctionsuk.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Handtied-Bouquet-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.fabulousfunctionsuk.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Handtied-Bouquet-768x512.jpg 768w, https://www.fabulousfunctionsuk.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Handtied-Bouquet-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://www.fabulousfunctionsuk.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Handtied-Bouquet.jpg 1920w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">The Bridal Bouquet</figcaption></figure>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="about-your-dress">About <strong>Your Dress</strong></h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph" style="font-size:clamp(14px, 0.875rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.156), 16px);">Find your dress before you make any major decisions about the bridal bouquet. Consider the style and shape of your dress. Your bouquet should complement your silhouette, not hide you or make you look and feel off-balanced.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center" id="the-style-of-the-bridal-bouquet"><strong>The Style of the Bridal Bouquet</strong></h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph" style="font-size:clamp(14px, 0.875rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.156), 16px);">Here&#8217;s another conundrum! There are a multitude of bouquet styles to choose from. Consider the following:</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="cascade-bouquet"><strong>Cascade Bouquet</strong></h4>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="683" height="1024" src="https://www.fabulousfunctionsuk.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Teardrop-cascade-wedding-bouquet--683x1024.jpg" alt="Cascade or teardrop wedding bouquet incorporating greenery and florals. The shape flows towards the floor and can be as long as you like." class="wp-image-5342" srcset="https://www.fabulousfunctionsuk.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Teardrop-cascade-wedding-bouquet--683x1024.jpg 683w, https://www.fabulousfunctionsuk.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Teardrop-cascade-wedding-bouquet--200x300.jpg 200w, https://www.fabulousfunctionsuk.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Teardrop-cascade-wedding-bouquet--768x1152.jpg 768w, https://www.fabulousfunctionsuk.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Teardrop-cascade-wedding-bouquet--1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https://www.fabulousfunctionsuk.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Teardrop-cascade-wedding-bouquet-.jpg 1280w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph" style="font-size:clamp(14px, 0.875rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.156), 16px);">This style of bouquet comprises flowers and greenery and resembles a waterfall of flowers cascading towards the floor. They&#8217;re impressive for sure. But something to consider is their weight, the bigger they are the heavier they are. But don&#8217;t worry, if it gets too heavy for you hand it to your partner and share the load. Sharing is caring as the saying goes!  <br>It would be a great addition to your album to get a photo of this. Cue one for the photographers!</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="the-hand-tied-bouquet"><strong>The</strong> <strong>Hand-Tied Bouquet </strong></h4>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="683" src="https://www.fabulousfunctionsuk.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Handtied-Bouquet-1024x683.jpg" alt="Hand-tied bouquets resemble a bouquet with flowers that has just been picked from the garden. This is a more relaxed style of bouquet.
This bridal bouquet incorporates a multitude of florals in tones of blush pinks, fuchsia and cream blooms." class="wp-image-5343" srcset="https://www.fabulousfunctionsuk.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Handtied-Bouquet-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://www.fabulousfunctionsuk.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Handtied-Bouquet-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.fabulousfunctionsuk.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Handtied-Bouquet-768x512.jpg 768w, https://www.fabulousfunctionsuk.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Handtied-Bouquet-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://www.fabulousfunctionsuk.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Handtied-Bouquet.jpg 1920w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph" style="font-size:clamp(14px, 0.875rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.156), 16px);"><br>They look like you&#8217;ve just gathered the blooms from the garden. The stems are left exposed and depending on the theme, the bouquet is tied with ribbon or twine. You can have ribbons of different lengths trailing down. They are often caught by the wind and can add a whimsical touch to your photographs. </p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="round-bouquets"><strong>Round Bouquets</strong></h4>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="538" height="800" src="https://www.fabulousfunctionsuk.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Lea-Ann-and-Adam-with-bouquet-created-by-Fabulous-Functions-UK.jpg" alt="A round shaped bouquet is more compact and uniform in shape." class="wp-image-5345" srcset="https://www.fabulousfunctionsuk.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Lea-Ann-and-Adam-with-bouquet-created-by-Fabulous-Functions-UK.jpg 538w, https://www.fabulousfunctionsuk.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Lea-Ann-and-Adam-with-bouquet-created-by-Fabulous-Functions-UK-202x300.jpg 202w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 538px) 100vw, 538px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph" style="font-size:clamp(14px, 0.875rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.156), 16px);"><br>In this bridal bouquet the blooms are arranged in a tighter shape, you could consider using just one type of flower to create this type of bouquet, or one colour tone.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="asymmetrical-bouquets"><strong>Asymmetrical Bouquets </strong></h4>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="683" src="https://www.fabulousfunctionsuk.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Asymetrical-Bouquet-1024x683.jpg" alt="Asymmetrical bridal bouquets are freer in shape and design allowing you the freedom to really express your personality." class="wp-image-5347" srcset="https://www.fabulousfunctionsuk.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Asymetrical-Bouquet-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://www.fabulousfunctionsuk.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Asymetrical-Bouquet-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.fabulousfunctionsuk.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Asymetrical-Bouquet-768x512.jpg 768w, https://www.fabulousfunctionsuk.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Asymetrical-Bouquet-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://www.fabulousfunctionsuk.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Asymetrical-Bouquet.jpg 1920w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph" style="font-size:clamp(14px, 0.875rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.156), 16px);">Quirky and unusual this type of bouquet favours the unstructured look, overflowing with blooms and foliage of different lengths and sizes. Usually one side is higher that the other and you can use large showy blooms and interestingly shaped foliage.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="what-s-in-your-bouquet"><strong>What&#8217;s In Your Bouquet?</strong> </h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph" style="font-size:clamp(14px, 0.875rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.156), 16px);">This is an interesting one!<br><br>You don&#8217;t have to use fresh flowers and foliage. You can incorporate brooches, grasses, crystals and pearls. Paper, felt, silk flowers, dried seeds and other dried elements. Then there&#8217;s feathers, family heirlooms, a bouquet charm of a loved one to consider using. The list is endless.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph" style="font-size:clamp(14px, 0.875rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.156), 16px);">This is where you might want to pull the covers over your head and pretend you don&#8217;t need to decide on the colour of your bouquet. </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Bold colours in wedding décor<br> I reckon it’s fair to say the colours we’ve tended to use in wedding décor have, of tradition been muted, subtle and classic. So we’re talking about soft pastels, blue and white, or neutral colour palettes. And super beautiful all those tones are. <br><br>But what if they’re not <em>you?</em> If you’ve never worn a pastel shade in your life and the idea of them leaves you cold, then consider if bold colours in wedding décor are the way to go. In particular if you want to imbue your wedding with the <strong><em>wow </em></strong>factor! As <strong><a href="https://www.davidaustin.com/how-to-use-bold-colours-in-a-wedding/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">David Austin says</a>:</strong> ‘While we love soft subtle shades and they’ll always have their place in timeless wedding design, bright colours feel fresh, modern and fun. So don’t be afraid to experiment with colour as it can add lots of personality to your wedding day.&#8217;</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="covid-created-a-change">Covid Created a Change</h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It does seem that the progression out of <strong><a href="https://www.who.int/health-topics/coronavirus#tab=tab_1" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Covid-19</a> </strong>has wrought a change in weddings. As this <a href="https://atactileperception.com.au/blog/how-to-use-bold-colours-in-your-wedding/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>Australian site </strong></a><strong><a href="https://atactileperception.com.au/blog/how-to-use-bold-colours-in-your-wedding/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">argues:</a> </strong>‘There’s a move towards doing things your way, going bold in your wedding styling, and really pushing the envelope. Bucking the trends like this is a fine line to balance between incorporating the traditions that your family may want you to keep, and injecting your own personality and desires into your most special day.’</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="let-the-seasons-inspire-you">Let the Seasons Inspire You</h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Take inspiration from the season in which you’re getting married. For instance, if your wedding is set for late September through October then autumn is a burnt orange and bronze gift. Or, if you really want to be different, you could go all Hallowe’en. Either full on or with a few spooky accessories like the goblets in this picture below. But of course, if your wedding is in the spring but you love autumn colours then there’s nothing to stop you having an <a href="https://www.fabulousfunctionsuk.com/an-autumn-themed-wedding/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>autumn-themed wedding as demonstrated in this blog post.</strong></a></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="671" src="https://www.fabulousfunctionsuk.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Top-Table-Decor-Fabulous-Functions-UK-1024x671.jpeg" alt="Bold Colours in Wedding Décor - autumn themed wedding table decor" class="wp-image-4658" srcset="https://www.fabulousfunctionsuk.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Top-Table-Decor-Fabulous-Functions-UK-1024x671.jpeg 1024w, https://www.fabulousfunctionsuk.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Top-Table-Decor-Fabulous-Functions-UK-300x196.jpeg 300w, https://www.fabulousfunctionsuk.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Top-Table-Decor-Fabulous-Functions-UK-768x503.jpeg 768w, https://www.fabulousfunctionsuk.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Top-Table-Decor-Fabulous-Functions-UK.jpeg 1110w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><strong>Top table decor in autumn colours complements to perfection the venue styling</strong> &#8211; <strong>autumn shades are brilliant for putting </strong><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-weight: 400; white-space: normal; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><strong>bold&nbsp;</strong></span><strong>colours in wedding décor</strong><br><span style="font-family: -webkit-standard; font-size: medium; font-weight: 400; white-space: normal;"></span></figcaption></figure>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="not-only-seasons-of-the-year"><strong>Not Only Seasons of the Year</strong></h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Meanwhile, weddings in the Christmas and Valentine seasons also offer bold colour inspiration and a fab chance to use bright blooms in your bouquet and around the venue. Roses come in all shades of red and pink from a pale bush to a deep wine shade. Add in a little bit of green to set off the reds.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="do-think-about-your-venue"><strong>Do Think About Your Venue</strong></h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It’s helpful, when thinking about your colour scheme, to take your venue into account. What do we mean? Well – if you’re set on a particular colour scheme then it’s likely that a venue with a neutral backdrop will work best. So, we’re talking barn conversions and similar. BUT – if you can be flexible about your colour choices then seek a venue that already has the colours you want, built into its décor in such elements as soft furnishings, walls, carpets, furniture. Even artworks. That will all contribute to a cohesive look.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="the-60-30-10-rule"><strong>The 60-30-10 Rule</strong></h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The 60-30-10 rule is well-known to interior designers. It&#8217;s a decorating concept that interior decorators use to pull together a cohesive colour scheme. But of course, there&#8217;s nothing to say you can&#8217;t apply it to your wedding décor. If you use this decorating rule then your main wedding colour will comprise the 60% and will hold the whole thing together. That could be the bridesmaid&#8217;s dresses, the wedding stationery and the focal flower in your bouquet. <br><br>Then the 30% of the rule is your secondary colour. For this, think about the mens&#8217; ties, napkins and your bouquet&#8217;s supporting flowers, along with centrepieces and any floral installations. And then to tie it all together is the 10% accent colour.  <br><br><strong>It goes without saying, but we&#8217;ll say it anyway, we&#8217;re here to help you </strong>t<strong>o follow this rule if you want to &#8211; or to break it if you want to. Anything goes! </strong><br></p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="in-summary"><strong>In Summary</strong></h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Using bold wedding colours is a beautiful and interesting way to stand out and to take your guests&#8217; breath away. As mentioned earlier, red, the colour of love, romance, and fire, are amazing choices for weddings.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" src="https://www.fabulousfunctionsuk.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Bold-Colours-sets-teh-Mood-and-Tone-Fabulous-Functions-UK-1024x683.jpg" alt="Bold colours sets the tone and mood for your decor. And can determine the accessories you add to complement them.

<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="be-brave-in-choosing-bold-colours-in-venue-decor">Be Brave in Choosing Bold Colours in Venue Decor</h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><br>But don’t hold back – pair your main colour choice with other bold colours rather than muted warm tones. That way you can develop a fresh and exciting colour palette.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="682" src="https://www.fabulousfunctionsuk.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Gold-Green-and-Orange-Themed-Wedding-setup-1024x682.jpg" alt="Vibrant oranges adds to the bold colour scheme for this beautiful wedding decor.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center" id="amy-and-jerrad-s-wedding-at-kingscote-barn-tetbury"><strong>Amy and Jerrad&#8217;s Wedding at Kingscote Barn, Tetbury</strong></h3>



<p class="has-normal-font-size wp-block-paragraph"><br>Amy is a returning customer &#8211; <a href="https://www.fabulousfunctionsuk.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>Fabulous Functions UK</strong></a> did the décor for her birthday party a few years ago &#8211; something she&#8217;d loved. So you can imagine our delight when she messaged us to say she&#8217;d met the love of her life, was planning her wedding celebrations and wanted us as part of her wedding planning team! Excited doesn&#8217;t cover it!<br><br>We arranged to meet for a coffee and an initial planning meeting in a cosy little pub in Devizes &#8211; with social distancing and masks in play to meet Covid regulations. </p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="amy-and-jerrad-at-kingscote-barn-initial-wedding-planning-meeting">Amy and Jerrad at Kingscote Barn &#8211; <strong>Initial Wedding Planning Meeting</strong>  </h4>



<p class="has-normal-font-size wp-block-paragraph">It was great to meet up with Amy and her lovely mum and listen as she described the vision she had for her wedding venue décor. We explored ideas and suggestions, discussed colour scheme and made suggestions for other suppliers needed for the day.<br><br>I&#8217;d brought samples to show Amy. It&#8217;s so helpful to see the fabrics, compare colours and combinations where possible and make choices based on that knowledge. We created a beautiful vision and I was super excited to get started.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="wedding-location"><strong>Wedding Location</strong></h4>



<p class="has-normal-font-size wp-block-paragraph">Amy and Jerrad had chosen <a href="https://kingscotebarn.co.uk" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>Kingscote Barn in Tetbury</strong></a> for their wedding celebrations &#8211; a beautiful venue with much indoor and outdoor space for the couple and their guests to enjoy.<br><br>As part of our service, we include an on-site visit, approximately one month before the wedding date. This gives our couples a chance to walk through the venue and envision the décor they have chosen. Confirm locations for their accessories and make any last-minute changes. Amy and Jerrad&#8217;s Kingscote Barn wedding was no exception and so they walked through the venue with me, discussing each room and the best locations to place their accessories. At the end of the visit they were sure all was as they desired.</p>

<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="action-stations"><strong>Action Stations</strong></h4>



<p class="has-normal-font-size wp-block-paragraph">Come the wedding day it was all action. We arrived and unloaded all the accessories, had discussions with the coordinator at Kingscote Barn and got to work.<br><br>First up was dressing the chairs with a light grey chiffon hood and waterfall ruffles, creating a soft romantic feel. Once the florist had placed her centrepieces, we added tealights and candles to the tables, placed in groups of 3s around the tables to create a warm ambience once they were lit.<br><br>Next we turned our attention to the reception welcome room. We are happy to use accessories provided by our couples and incorporate this into the accessories we provide as part of the décor.<br><br>The floor standing mirrored table plan was a beauty and with much care we set it in place and added cylinder vases with floating candles. The personalised mirrored welcome sign was also placed ready to greet the guests.</p>

<p class="has-normal-font-size wp-block-paragraph">Amy and Jerrad wanted to give a little nod to loved ones not present and had provided a treasured drinks trolly belonging to Amy’s Nan. This we carefully placed and decorated with items provided by Amy.<br><br>Amy and Jerrad at Kingscote Barn had a wealth of personal touches so&#8230; Not forgetting the ceiling! Kingscote Barn has a wealth of original beams and we attached some beautiful twisted willow branches, added tealights in glass baubles hung at various heights.<br><br>The aim was to create a warm welcoming décor full of romance, charm and sophistication. The venue looked so beautiful.</p>

I had a good grasp of the vision they wanted to create and had with me many samples of the colour tones in the fabric they’d chosen with which to create a gorgeous rose gold wedding theme.&nbsp;<br><br>I also had with me many samples of agate slices for them to choose from. They loved the ideas of what the French call&nbsp;<strong>“joindre l&#8217;utile&nbsp;à l&#8217;agréable”</strong>&nbsp; &#8211; a lovely phrase that translates to “<strong>to combine the practical with pleasure</strong>.”<br><br>In this instance the agate slices would serve as both guest place names and guest favours. Sam and Lucy chose the natural colour agate slice as they were the perfect complement for the rose gold tones of the vertical drops they&#8217;d chosen for the chair decor.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[Access to your venue is even  more important when your have limited mobility - Ensure disabled access for you and your guests- Fabulous Functions UK]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="has-normal-font-size wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Wedding Venues and Disabled Access</strong><br>Here are some important questions to ask/points to consider when you&#8217;re searching for a venue to host your wedding or other celebrations. Whatever the occasion, if you have guests with any sort of limited mobility then this subject is one you&#8217;ll need to consider.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-medium is-style-default"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="300" height="200" src="https://www.fabulousfunctionsuk.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/wheelchair-749985__340-300x200.jpg" alt="Wedding Venues and Disabled Access - person in a wheelchair" class="wp-image-4148" srcset="https://www.fabulousfunctionsuk.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/wheelchair-749985__340-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.fabulousfunctionsuk.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/wheelchair-749985__340.jpg 510w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></figure>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="wedding-venues-and-disabled-access-9-questions-to-ask"><br><br><strong> Wedding Venues and Disabled Access </strong>&#8211; <strong>9 Questions to Ask</strong></h4>



<p class="has-normal-font-size wp-block-paragraph">What follows is some suggested questions to ask about wedding venues and disabled access either when making the first contact with the venue or during a venue show round.&nbsp;<br><br>1. Is the disabled access through the front access or a side entrance. If you are the bride and groom and are offered a side entrance, ask yourself if this is the right venue for you?<br><br>2. What are the dimension of the doors?<br><br>Ask for the measurements of the doors as wheelchairs are not all the same sizes. Some power chairs are larger than manual wheelchairs.<br><br>3. Are the car park and walkways paved or gravelled?<br><br> Wheelchairs are already heavy. Then add the weight of the person and you’re going to need a superman to manoeuvre over gravel.<br><br>4. Is there a lift to access the upper floors if need be? If you have accommodations on site and they are on the upper floors how will you reach them?<br><br>5. Ask about ramps at the venue and if you can take your guests with limited mobility on a visit with you to test out the access arrangements.<br><br>6. Think about buying a second-hand wheelchair and customising it for your wedding day. You can respray it or re-upholster it.<br><br>7. Is the bathroom big enough to accommodate a wheelchair and attendants?<br><br>8. Does the venue have non slip floors in in the reception areas, bathrooms etc?&nbsp;<br><br>9. Are support rails in place?&nbsp;</p>

<figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-medium is-style-default"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="300" height="188" src="https://www.fabulousfunctionsuk.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/wedding-rings-3611277__340-300x188.jpg" alt="Second Marriage Dress Etiquette - pair of gold wedding rings" class="wp-image-4200" srcset="https://www.fabulousfunctionsuk.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/wedding-rings-3611277__340-300x188.jpg 300w, https://www.fabulousfunctionsuk.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/wedding-rings-3611277__340.jpg 544w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></figure>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="second-marriage-dress-etiquette"><br>Second Marriage Dress Etiquette</h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph" style="font-size:clamp(14px, 0.875rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.156), 16px);">Of late I’ve been giving some thought to two questions I’ve seen asked in various Facebook groups, that relate to second marriage dress etiquette:</p>



<ol class="wp-block-list" style="font-size:clamp(14px, 0.875rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.156), 16px);list-style-type:1">
<li>Should one wear a wedding dress for a registry office ceremony?</li>



<li>Are there rules around second marriage style etiquette? Or put another way, a bride to be, marrying for the second time, wanted to know if it was acceptable to wear a white wedding dress for her ceremony.<br><br>My own thoughts on both those is a big YES – of course. If that’s what you want to do, if that would make you happy, then go right ahead.&nbsp;<br><br>But you don’t have to only take our word on second marriage dress etiquette for it. I’ve done a little digging to see what big wedding-related websites are saying about second marriage wedding dress etiquette. <strong>Hitched.com</strong> have an article from late last year,&nbsp;<strong><a aria-label="Second Marriage Wedding Dresses: The Rules and Etiquette Revealed. (opens in a new tab)" class="rank-math-link" href="https://www.hitched.co.uk/wedding-planning/bridalwear-articles/second-marriage-wedding-dresses/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><em>Second Marriage Wedding Dresses: The Rules and Etiquette Revealed</em>.</a></strong> They posed that some second-time-around brides have the lustre of the wedding shopping process tarnished by remarriage etiquette uncertainty. It seems there’s often a worry over whether or not white is appropriate for a remarriage.<br><br>But, as they say, browsing for a second wedding dress ought to be as enjoyable as it was for your first.&nbsp;Further, some brides hold a conviction that a second marriage puts white out of the bridal picture. But yet, when Meghan Markle wed Prince Harry, a second marriage for her, she wore white.&nbsp;&nbsp;And wonderful she looked too.&nbsp;<br><br>And anyway, the whole white wedding thing has nothing to do with purity and everything to do with Queen Victoria deciding to wear white because it complemented the lace on her dress. You can read more about that in our blog, <strong><a href="https://www.fabulousfunctionsuk.com/something-old-and-something-new/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Something Old and Something New</a><a class="rank-math-link" href="https://www.fabulousfunctionsuk.com/something-old-and-something-new/"> </a>t</strong>hat takes a brief look at a few of the classic wedding traditions. </li>
</ol>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="say-i-do-in-glorious-colour">Say &#8216;I Do&#8217; in Glorious Colour</h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph" style="font-size:clamp(14px, 0.875rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.156), 16px);">White is wonderful yes. But there’s nothing to say you can’t say&nbsp;<em>I do</em>&nbsp;in colour too. Red is a popular choice for a wedding dress &#8211; for the first time or for a second marriage. As <a href="https://vowsbridal.com/2012/04/17/colored-wedding-gowns-what-do-they-mean/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>this Vows Bridal website</strong> </a>points out: &#8216;<em>Coloured wedding gowns</em>&nbsp;are everywhere these days. Red also signifies good luck in many cultures so is a perfect choice for a wedding dress and certainly one to chose when considering the etiquette for a second marriage wedding dress. <br><br> Brides are breaking from tradition and going for a unique look that can reflect their personalities. These wedding gowns may have just a little colour, or be completely one colour with absolutely no white or ivory to be found.&#8217; A red gown will sure as heck make a statement! Red is a popular choice for weddings around Valentine&#8217;s Day and Christmas.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><br></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-medium is-style-default"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="361" height="800" src="https://www.fabulousfunctionsuk.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Red-Wedding-dress-361x800.jpg" alt="Red are considered good luck in many cultures  so the perfect colour for a wedding dress and certainly one when considering the second marriage dress etiquette. " class="wp-image-6596" srcset="https://www.fabulousfunctionsuk.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Red-Wedding-dress-361x800.jpg 361w, https://www.fabulousfunctionsuk.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Red-Wedding-dress-541x1200.jpg 541w, https://www.fabulousfunctionsuk.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Red-Wedding-dress-692x1536.jpg 692w, https://www.fabulousfunctionsuk.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Red-Wedding-dress.jpg 721w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 361px) 100vw, 361px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph" style="font-size:clamp(14px, 0.875rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.156), 16px);"><br><br><br>But it&#8217;s best to use the colours that suit you as a guide – that way you’ll both look and feel amazing.&nbsp;And, as the <strong><em>Hitched article</em></strong> says, you could always put a twist on traditional white by opting for a super chic white trouser or jumpsuit.&nbsp;<br><br>Put another way, when it comes to second marriage dress etiquette rules &#8211; there are none. It&#8217;s the 21st century &#8211; do whatever you feel! <br><br>Incidentally, should you be in the Swindon area and should you not ever have had a colour and style analysis done, then now might be the time. If you&#8217;re thinking of going down the coloured wedding gown route for your remarriage then knowing the colours that best complement eyes and your skin tone will give you a head start in your quest for the perfect wedding dress! <br></p>
