“Orchids have been making a real impression recently with customers loving the fact that they come in all shapes, colours and sizes, meaning they can work with almost any wedding theme,” says award-winning floral designer Ricky Paul Flowers. We’re also seeing the legendary cactus plant making a comeback and appearing at weddings. Cacti are great for sculptural work, come in huge sizes and can bring a real rock’n’roll vibe to weddings for the edgy couple,” he adds.

“Drone cameras are now a must for high-quality wedding films so filmmakers like myself are now accredited Drone Pilots with licences issued by the Civil Aviation Authority,” says Andrew Gemmell of The Filming Business, who has captured over 2000 weddings in the UK in 25 years. “We’re also seeing a trend for filmmakers to have dedicated time with the couple to create their own video shoot; traditionally it was only the photographer who would have had the opportunity to capture shots alone with the bride and groom.

“Luckily for all bridesmaids out there, the mix and match trend will be big in 2017, with bridesmaids dressed in different styles or colours that suit them,” says Rosanna Garden, founder of bridesmaid fashion brand Motee Maids. “Keeping to the same or tonal colour pallet or bringing the look together with similar embellishment detail keeps the bridal party looking in sync but each of your bridesmaids happy.”
