2023's Top 5 Trends
April 20, 2023
As we move through 2023, wedding decor trends are expected to evolve and adapt to reflect the changing times. From bold and dramatic designs to more understated and minimalistic themes, there's sure to be something to suit every couple's taste and style!
1. Vintage-Inspired Glamour
The roaring 20s have made a comeback, and vintage-inspired glamour is proving to be a popular theme in 2023. Think art deco inspired motifs, old Hollywood style gowns, and opulent metallic finishes. A vintage-inspired wedding can be perfect for couples who want to add a touch of timeless elegance to their special day—and they live on beautifully in pictures.
2. Sustainability
As the world becomes more environmentally conscious, sustainable wedding decor is set to become increasingly popular in 2023 and we couldn’t be happier! Couples will be looking for ways to reduce their carbon footprint and create an eco-friendlier wedding, using recycled and natural materials, such as bamboo and wood, and incorporating organic and locally sourced elements, like flowers and food. Event hire companies, like us, make sure to get the most out of each item, reusing and repurposing things to give them a long and earth-conscious lifespan. We stop the single use cycle for plastics, fake flowers, and wedding specific décor as often as possible!
3. Bold Colours
In 2023, we’re seeing bold and bright colours dominating the wedding decor scene. From rich jewel tones to vibrant primary shades, couples will be opting for eye-catching colour palettes to create a dynamic and lively atmosphere. Bold colour choices can be used to accentuate other design elements, such as florals, tablescapes, and lighting.
4. Minimalism
On the other end of the spectrum, minimalism will also continue to be a popular trend in 2023. Clean lines, neutral colours, and simple decor elements can create an elegant and refined wedding atmosphere. Minimalist designs can also be cost-effective, as fewer elements are needed to create a striking impact. It’s a classic for a reason.
5. Natural Elements
Bringing the outdoors in will remain a popular wedding decor trend in 2023. Expect to see lush greenery, natural wood, and organic elements incorporated into wedding decor. Potted plants, hanging vines, and botanical accents can add a natural and relaxed feel to any wedding setting. We especially love small foliage details, such as a bit of eucalyptus in the back of a chair drape.
Whether you're planning a bold and vibrant wedding or a more subdued and minimalist celebration, there's sure to be a wedding decor trend in 2023 that suits your style. From sustainable elements to vintage glamour, couples will have plenty of options to choose from when it comes to designing their dream wedding, and we can’t wait to help you make it happen!

What's new for 2022?
Dec 11, 2021
With just a few weeks to go until the New Year, we thought we would focus on some new and exciting products that we have coming out in 2022!
One of our favourite new items has to be our stunning hexagonal arch. We are so excited to trial different styling options and this fresh, modern design has already proved popular. From draping to florals, there are so many options and we can't wait to get started.

We love using neutral colours with hints of pink, but we espeically love them during Spring. With this in mind, we have our brand new mauve sash and drape, mint sashes, blue chiffon drapes and napkins ranging from Stone to Eau de Nil - all perfect for a fresh start to 2022. We can't wait to start using them.
If you’re wondering what options you have for a more rustic theme, have you thought about our wooden crates? They look beautiful with ivy laden bird cages, florals of your choice (fresh or silk both look wonderful) and of course, fairy lights. Whatever you have in mind, or however you’d like to style them, we can find the solution for you.
If you're looking for different floral vase options, we have some stunning gold fishbowls and pumpkin bowls that we have recently launched. They are beautiful as part of a centrepiece and they really popped when we styled them recently with some greenery and pink florals.
Not a fan of gold? Take a look at our brand new silver bowl vases. We have styled them up here with pretty florals and trailing ivy. The Pantone colour of the year has also just been announced. It is a gorgeous berry purple colour, much like the florals we chose for this display.
And finally, if you want something to dress your chairs but want to steer away from a traditional cover and sash, why not opt for a chair drape? You have the option to add some foliage, for example eucalyptus to give a lovely fresh vibe. You could also stay more traditional and add a thistle, or any co-ordinating floral of your choosing. Or, if this doesn’t quite feel right, why not include a brooch to add a little sparkle? Whatever you’re dreaming of, we have the answer.
We hope you have enjoyed this sneak peek into some new things coming in 2022. We have a lot more exciting products and projects coming so stay tuned!
Happy 14th Birthday, Beautifully Covered!
Nov 17, 2021
After another unpredictable year, the team here at Beautifully Covered have been kept busy planning and styling your wonderful events. We have lots of exciting things coming up before we enter into 2022, but before we get into that, we thought as we have just celebrated our 14th birthday we would take a trip down memory lane…
Our Managing Director Keo started this company back in 2007. With her strong work ethic, the right team around her and the relationships she has built with other people in the industry, Beautifully Covered has thrived. We have styled birthday parties and naming ceremonies, and of course weddings, but we have also been involved in some very special things too. We took part in a Guinness World Record and we even had to help prepare for a very special Cop26 attendee…
Through our attention to detail and our desire to bring every clients wishes to life, we have also been lucky enough to be nominated, and win, various awards. Looking back, there is a lot to be proud of.
In the 14 years since this company started, Keo has had a team of loyal girls by her side. As a team of 6 women, we bring a variety of experiences to the table. From knowledge of florals, to social media experience, exceptional organisational skills and perfecting the art of bow-tying, we all unite as one team to make each client’s dream a reality.
No two days ever look the same and there never seem to be enough hours in the day, but having come through the pandemic with not a single cancellation, we are loving every minute of it. We are enjoying spending time at some of our favourite venues once again, for example Dalmahoy, Grange Manor and Glasshouse. Between hosting a client’s first consultation to finalising all the details, picking fresh florals from the flower market and pressing every satin sash, we are always kept on our toes. But with Keo leading the way, we are able to succeed even on the busiest days. We always aim to keep up with trends and offer the most up-to-date colours and styles. We also love when a new challenge presents itself, as it allows us to be creative and sparks ideas we may not have thought of before.
Overall, we feel extremely grateful to be ending the year with a busy calendar, and we can’t wait to see what 2022 brings. Big events feel even more special now that we are all able to celebrate together again, so to be part of that joy has been incredibly rewarding.
We look forward to keeping you up to date as we head into Christmas!
