Traditionally, when you think wedding you think bright, blossoming buds in beautiful floral arrangements. However, the latest wedding trend is going against the norm. Dried botanicals offer a muted colour palette and vintage feel that many brides are loving. For a soft vintage yet modern feel, consider adding these dried flowers to your wedding day.
The past few years have seen traditionally old-school wedding finishes being reinvented in modern ways. We’ve seen rustic and garden party-esque wedding themes grow in popularity, and dried botanicals fit these themes perfectly.
Modern dried botanicals include more than just flowers. Think seed pods, reeds, and grasses. Mix dried botanicals with live flowers for a varied floral finish. This dynamic flower arrangement provides a whimsical yet rustic touch to your wedding. With so many options, dried botanicals bring much versatility to your wedding decor.
Here is some inspiration if you want to incorporate dried botanicals into your wedding day.

The sweetheart table at a wedding is the table that is set up just for the bride and groom, however, it is sometimes set up to include the immediate families of the bride and groom as well. The table is set up so that the newly married couple sits to face their guests. The sweetheart table is a great way for the happy couple to see all their guests and for the guests to come up and wish the couple well.
Here are a few gorgeous ideas for the sweetheart table:

Imagine your wedding is going ahead on schedule and then you have an unexpected guest. Seems somewhat normal, right? Well, not for this unlucky couple, who were surprised…
Unfortunately, we cannot schedule good weather. Despite rain on your wedding day signifying good luck in many cultures, it can still be worrisome. Whether it’s a drizzle or a downpour, unexpected showers can put a damper on your wedding day, especially if you’re having an outdoor affair.
Sometimes the forecast gets it wrong, and the heavens open up unprovoked. So here is what to do if it unexpectedly rains on your wedding day:
Go with Plan B:
If you’re planning an outdoor wedding, then you should already have a contingency plan in place. If you don’t have a backup plan already set up, try speaking to your venue to find out if the wedding can be relocated to an indoor space on their grounds. Don’t forget to let your guests know about the venue change!
If you still really want to have your wedding outdoors, rent a marquee tent. This way, everything set up can stay and it adds another design element.
Stop and take stock:
Now is the time to accessorise. Have someone purchase or collect umbrellas and throw blankets to offer guests as they arrive. Have heat lamps and towels on hand to dry them off if they got caught in the rain. Offer your guests hot beverages to keep your guests feeling warm and cosy. At the end of the day, it’s about making your guests as comfortable as possible despite the weather.
If you already know it will most likely rain on your wedding day, you can pre-prep and have items monogrammed to represent your wedding day in style. Bonus: they double-up as wedding favours!
Embrace it:
We can’t change the weather, so there is no point fretting about it. As we said, rain on your wedding day is seen as good luck in many cultures. So flip the script and take the rain as a positive sign for your future.
Sometimes the rain can act as a great backdrop. Use the weather to your advantage and shoot creative images.
