Kim and Kanye’s floral backdrop caused quite the stir last year at their Florence wedding and flower walls have continued to captivate brides and grooms. If you want an incredibly romantic display of your own, this beautiful flower wall can be hired from &FÉTE to create an enchanting and romantic backdrop for your I Do’s. Guests can also use it as a canvas for some fun, summery snaps (or if you’re after some sparkle, they have an incredible shimmering sequin backdrop you can hire too!)

If you’ve opted for a summer wedding, ice-pops infused with edible flowers will bring a blast of colour to your drinks reception and provide a fun and refreshing treat for guests. Cocktails are another gorgeous summery option – give them a floral twist with some pretty signage, colourful floral print straws or you can even add floating flowers to your drinks if you want them to look extra special. Flowers are also a simple yet romantic way to dress up your dessert station or even the desserts themselves. From cakes and donut towers (a wedding trend making it’s mark at the minute) draped with beautiful foliage and flowers to whimsical illustrations adorning the cakes and treats themselves, there are so many pretty ways to make your desserts look even yummier.
