Texture is something I’ve been talking about for many years (see our 2016 wedding trend report) and it’s still at the forefront when it comes to those delicious details that make up your wedding design.

From tactile table linens in raw silk, hemp, creased french linen and luxe fabrics like velvet (tipped to be everywhere in 2018), through to blind embossed print designs and deckle-edged handmade papers. Even crockery has seen a rise in more textured detailing of late, with pressed lace patterns and handmade pottery – celebrated for it’s perfect imperfectness.

It’s all about enhancing that sense of warmth and comfort, but it doesn’t necessarily have to be all laidback and rustic. It can have an elegant and luxurious edge to it too.

I believe luxury design to be less about ostentation and more about understated elegance, and playing up textures really helps to give a design depth. Just take a look at some of our favourite textural, tactile inspiration to see what we mean….
