Styling with Fresh Produce
Fruits are the new floral centrepiece, and are becoming more and more popular to mix with flowers and can be a solution to reducing the cost. If you’ve been scrolling through Instagram lately in the lead-up to Spring/Summer, Spoiler Alert: you’re going to see a lot more use of lemons, grapes and pears to brighten and add a touch of freshness to a tablescape.
However, we love to see and work with vegetables as styling items for weddings. Yes, that’s right, purple cabbages, chilli and heirloom tomatoes in abundance - yeah, yeah we know a tomato is technically a fruit! Wedding stylists and florists who are giving a new cool persona to kale and brussels sprouts are some of our personal favourites Fritillerie & By.MAGNOLIA.
A Pant-Suit Ensemble
2024 introduces a trend tailor-made for the anti-bride—an ethos blending effortless coolness with utter chicness. We're captivated by how brides are fearlessly discarding traditions, opting instead to redefine their bridal aesthetics. Embracing authenticity, they carve their unique style, infusing personal touches into their bridal look.
The Colour Red and Traditional Symbols of Romance
Here’s a little science for you: Red is the colour that reaches deepest into our eyes and signals your brain faster than any other colour, which of course is ideal for stop signs or quick reaction signs. So if you’re a couple looking to make a bold statement with your wedding then red is the colour for you!
When we think of romance there are a few stereotypical shapes and elemnts that come to mind: bows, roses, love hearts and all in the colour red! Roses will be more evident in bridal fashion and accessories, bows exaggerated will remain on trend and love hearts will be incorporated into our wedding stationery and sweet treats.

Aperitivo Hour
Ever since the influx of living the dolce-vita life in all our Instagram stories of Euro Summer 2023, we’ve seen the rise of the Aperitivo Hour here in Australia. Aperitivo Hour is when the Italian locals flock to catch the sunset at bars or restaurants before diving into dinner. The process of “aperitivo hour” includes enjoying small snacks like olives, that accompany bittersweet cocktails like an Aperol spritz or Negroni before sharing a meal with loved ones.
In 2024 look for more Aperol Orange and olives evolving from the side dish to the main attraction!
