Still searching for your wedding theme?
Feast your eyes on the four distinct looks our super-talented suppliers created at Pratis Barns, Leven.
You can find the first theme – raw green botanics – here. And now we’re turning our attention to burgundy and dusky rose…
We set up our second theme against the window of Pratis Barns’ Shed, where couples typically hold their drinks reception.
When used alongside the adjoining Byre the full venue capacity is 250.
We love the large windows that take full advantage of the panoramic views across the Firth of Forth.
In fact, many couples choose to marry outside before making the 10-minute trip to the beach for photos.
Back inside, décor specialists 22Extra combined a dusky pink tablecloth and burgundy napkins with high end gilt-detailed charger plates, gold cutlery and gold-rimmed glassware.
The pièce de résistance however had to be the chandeliers suspended over the table.
“I have a little bit of an obsession with chandeliers,” ‘Tutu from the company laughs.
“Fortunately, they’re in vogue and work really nicely gracing tables.”
Florists Trudi and Susan of Trudi Todd Flowers adorned the chandelier frames with creeping foliage.
Trudi says the palette of muted burgundy and blush pink tones used throughout the floral arrangements felt “rich, romantic and timeless.”
“For the pedestal arrangements at the end of the table we chose bigger, blousy blooms and muted burgundy hydrangeas.
“Quicksand roses with their soft antique blush feel were used and pink Mondial and classic burgundy roses provided a contrast.
“To bring movement and a subtle fragrance we incorporated varieties of eucalyptus cinerea and poplar.”
Trudi continued the romantic mix of textures and tones with delicate astrantia, veronica, roses and cymbidium orchids with a deep wine-coloured centre which provided a refined focal point.
