The most eye-catching wedding decor revealed
A new study, conducted by the wedding financial experts at money.co.uk, involved surveying 1,000 future newlyweds and asking them to estimate how much they will spend on 70 wedding items.

Fairylights came out on top, with guests staring at them for 5.53 seconds which is impressive considering they are the decorations that those planning a wedding expect to pay the least for (£106.25).

We spoke to Lynne Panes from Rustic Rentals to find out more about her company
I've always had a passion for interior design and love using different colour palettes, textures, materials and repurposing items in a creative way. I get the same thrill and passion working with our couples to create the wedding of their dreams now as I did from my career of many years working as a chartered quantity surveyor.
My inspiration for Rustic Rentals came about after planning our daughter's wedding in 2014. I got well and truly bitten by the wedding planning, décor and styling bug. This is where my love for decorating barns started as she tied the knot in a listed Cotswold barn, where the design called for authentic vintage items. Unable to find a company offering such a hire service locally, I started visiting brocantes and flea markets curating our own collection.

Cover With Love's wedding wonderland
For a number of years Cover With Love's venue styling items lived in a storage unit. However, it was owner Caroline Coles' dream to open a showroom to display them in their full glory, and in October 2020, in the midst of Covid chaos, her vision came to fruition. "Our local Enterprise Centre in Wiveliscombe built a number of storage units that became available for rent, which happened to be just five minutes from where we live. Although, the timing couldn't have been worse, I didn't want to miss out on the opportunity to open my very own showroom," Caroline explains.

A very big house in the country
We asked Holly Allman-Lopez of Ambience Venue Styling Bath (www.ambiencevenuestyling.com) for her advice on styling a country manor venue without overpowering it. Read on to discover her top tips. Colour. Consider your palette carefully so that it doesn't clash with the existing decor. Georgian and Palladian interiors work well with pastel tones, while Tudor or Victorian styles suit richer, darker hues. If in doubt, going neutral is a safe bet for a timeless look. White, ivory and cream work well in any setting and can complement or tone down a dramatic interior.
