We ask Minihaha Garande of Yorkshire venue stylist Luxe by Minihaha & Co. your question on styling a marquee wedding...

"We've booked a traditional marquee for our wedding, but now I'm worried it won't have the luxury feel I want. How can we style it to give some opulence?"

Marquee weddings are an amazing choice for larger receptions year-round. They're the perfect blank canvas for you to create your own special venue. Styling a marquee to add some opulence will start with focusing your design on a visually appealing entrance. This is the first thing your guests will see so it's imperative to set the tone. To add wow factor, you could lay a beautiful stone pathway adorned with gorgeous blooms and lined with flickering candles.

The beauty of this type of setting is you can project on to it your wildest dreams for your big day. Inside, you may want to add a few focal points such as a beautiful custom bar in the centre, as well as a stunning lounge area to add instant drama. Also, adding some exquisite hanging floral installations will give your design some impact. Lastly, lighting is key in creating the right ambience. Incorporate lots of twinkling lights and uplighters for a sense of drama and romance.

Research from WeddingDates found that 78% of UK couples consider location an important factor when choosing a venue, with more than a third specifically influenced by the view. Rockwater, the UK coastal hospitality brand with beachfront venues in Hove and Branksome, says this is helping reshape how couples approach weddings by the water. Rather than simply choosing a coastal venue and then planning the celebration independently of it, couples are increasingly allowing the landscape, changing light and relationship between indoor and outdoor spaces to influence the day itself. Rockwater has identified four of the key considerations shaping modern coastal weddings.

Something old, something gone: The British wedding traditions on borrowed time

New Aspall research reveals the wedding traditions that are being dropped - from the bouquet toss and choreographed first dances, to the father-of-the-bride speech - and the modern alternatives taking their place. Speeches given only by men (36%), a choreographed first dance (34%) and the formal receiving line (30%) are among the wedding traditions that couples are keenest to ditch, a new study reveals. Wearing a veil, the 15-minute father-of-the-bride speech with no speech from the bride, and the traditional tiered fruit cake are also increasingly falling out of favour as Brits tie the knot, researchers found.
