Ok, we know the flower wall may have been included at every influencer event (ever), but it is the perfect photo opportunity. They also happen to look beautiful, especially if done elegantly, like Vanessa’s & Idowu’s! Hey, if it’s good enough for Britney… it’s good enough for us.

DIY

Vanessa handmade the bridesmaid bouquets and wedding favours, alongside using Etsy for her acrylic wedding invitations. Her sister also happened to design the evening invitations and wedding boards! What a handy family…
