With the 2017 wedding season nearly upon us, we thought it was timely to update you with the latest trends.

We all love weddings, couples pledging their eternal love for each other, the dress, his suit, the food, the wine, the photo-booth, the candy bar, the cheese wheel stack as the wedding cake, the list goes on and on. Each season we see new trends emerging, each adding just that little bit extra to total experience.

But VINTAGE still reigns supreme over everything in your wedding, from your venue to the dress and everything inbetween, nothing escapes the wee nod to times gone by!

It’s all about the boy! The Mr in your life and his crew need to be looking sharp and we are loving the new fashions for men, waistcoats, bow ties and everything colour suit expect black! Hooray!   www.barkersonline.co.nz   www.mandatory.co.nz

Vintage Venues.  We are so lucky to have a fabulous venue right in the heart of Wellington, The Wellesley Boutique Hotel. When it comes to luxury look no further, we love their gorgeous entrance and lobby, stunning dining room and divine suites. www.wellesleyboutiquehotel.co.nz

A whisky Sir? Creating a comfortable lounge for your guests to sit down, relax and chat over a drink is lovely way for guests to catch up on old times. Even better when it’s a fabulous aged Whisky served in a gorgeous crystal glass by your very own butler. Let’s face it, so much of the wedding is all about the girls, so why not create a Gentlemen’s area just for the boys, to relax with a cigar and a drink to tell very big stories over.  www.gentlemenslounge.co.nz

Wooden everything!  As stylists Charlotte and I were so thankful to finally be able to source beautiful wooden tables and chairs in Wellington. We are so in love with this look! Not much more to say!  https://olivergoods.com

Glamping.  A romantic first night a fabulous tent or luxury accommodation for your guests, glamping is the way to go. www.taylorbelltents.co.nz
