Our 2017 5 Star Weddings Round Up

What a year…!

2017 has been a beautiful year for us here at 5 Star Wedding Directory. We’ve adored every second of working to bring you lovely brides the best in luxury weddings and can’t wait for what 2018 will bring, but first, here’s a little round up of our year for you, for that last bit of 2017 inspiration!

Greenery

Well, we’ve loved the 2017 Pantone Colour of the year! Greenery was everywhere! In decor, in flowers and through the gorgeous trend for outdoor, garden weddings. Such a fresh, natural and vibrant tone, it’s been a beautiful shade for brides this year.

Hotels

We’ve loved bringing you reviews of some of the very best hotels at home and abroad. We’ve celebrated our birthdays at The Savoy, witnessed indulgent perfection at Corinthia, raced ducks at the simply spiffing Deer Park in Devon, fallen in love with fuschia in our gorgeous pink suite at The May Fair and been spoiled for choice at The Ned with its nine restaurants. We truly have experienced the best in luxury hotels, do go and have a read over our reviews for more…

Metallics

A hint of sparkle and shine was scattered across weddings this year. We’ve seen coppers, rose golds, silvers and bronzes accent and compliment wedding palettes. And we’ve loved it!

Celebrity Weddings

2017 has given us a huge array of multi million pound weddings. From Serena Williams, to Victoria Swarovski and the decadent weddings of heirs to billion pound fortunes, we’ve loved seeing some of our trusted suppliers do what they do best.
