Guests proudly display their hand crafted floral crowns following a workshop and ambassadors’ dinner held by Leeds-based hospitality and event planner Dine at The Mansion, Leeds.  

The floral crown making workshop was hosted by wedding floristry specialist Twisted Willow based in Ripon. Owner director Joanna Cairns demonstrated creative uses for the armfuls of flowers, berries and foliage she brought with her - from roses, ranunculus and hydrangeas to rosemary, eucalyptus and ferns.

Guests went on to enjoy a three course ambassador’s dinner which bucked January’s usual abstinence trend by being indulgence-themed.  Matching paired wines were supplied by Hoults wine merchants.  

We give you the lowdown on the hottest trends of the year and how to achieve them.

2017 is here and a time when we reminisce the year gone and forecast the year ahead. We take a look at the hottest nail trends of the New Year, inspired by the catwalks - will you be trying these trends or giving them a miss?

Black is back!

This simple yet effective dark nail was spotted all over the catwalk, as seen on Aalto S/S catwalk. Easily created, simply apply a dark pigmented polish all over the nails such as SensatioNail’s Midnight Rendezvous or alternatively you can try another dark shade such as SensatioNail’s Black Plum which has a tint of purple. This trend is perfect for both days and nights with its edgy gothic twist.

When it’s time to get down on one knee, throw out everything you think you know about nerves. Aside from the time and the place, your proposal has to contain all the perfect elements that’ll help your significant other say yes. Whatever your budget or your situation, one of the most important parts of any engagement is the ring.  

The perfect engagement ring will vary from couple to couple. For instance, few partners in a couple that is struggling for money will appreciate an expensive rock that gets them into debt. No partner in a wealthier couple that has plenty of money to spend will thank you for a cheapskate ring, either.
