Your wedding day is a celebration of the two of you, a day to cherish your relationship and the things that make it special and unique. Inject a little bit of character into your wedding, perhaps opt for a less traditional wedding cake, unique décor or a unique style of photography.
While a beautiful and intricate tiered white cake certainly still has its place in the world of weddings, it is by no means the only choice. For those who like things a little simpler an un-iced cake topped with mounds of whipped cream and succulent fresh fruit would be a delicious option. Or for something completely different, those with a savoury tooth could opt for a cheese wheel cake. Perfectly suited for a rustic wedding, adorn it with grapes, cabernet paste, dried fruit and artisan crackers for decadent self-serve style desert option.
One of the biggest parts of planning your wedding day is deciding on a theme and selecting décor. While for a long time décor has centred around traditional floral arrangements, glittering candles and neutral colour schemes, why not mix it up when it comes to your wedding? If you’re a couple with a love of colour, or a passion for the artsy, reflect this in your wedding décor choices – after all it is a day celebrating you! Choose a colour scheme that reflects your personalities or perhaps hand make your decorations, you’ll enjoy the day so much more if you feel it truly reflects the two of you as a couple.
Table settings are the perfect way to express your personal style and subtly bring in a hint of the eclectic. Whether it’s polished sophistication or a more fun and playful vibe you’d like it’s easy to do when planning your table setting. For a classic setting opt for timeless glassware, floral arrangements and pressed napkins. Or for a more unique take on decorating choose pieces like modern candlesticks, quirky bonbonniere or printed linen. Don’t be scared to use your table setting as an easy and fun way to inject some personality into your wedding!
Coordinating a bridal party’s outfits is a great chance to inject a bit of fun into your wedding! Perhaps pick a colour scheme but let your bridesmaids pick their own style of dresses, or choose a more casual shoe option so they can feel comfortable dancing the night away. If you have picked a theme for your wedding, this is the perfect opportunity to bring it to life, for example if you’re embracing a country themed wedding why not have your bridesmaids in cowboy boots?
Wedding photography has well and truly evolved. Gone are the days of overly staged and styled photographs, with most couples now opting for a more unique and relaxed style of photography. Candid photographs are not only intriguing to look back on, but they are also the perfect representation of your day. They showcase the formal side of your wedding and also freeze in time the little moments. Like the second you first see one another, the elated look on your faces as you first walk down the aisle as husband and wife or little moments of privacy you get in the midst of such a busy day. These are the moments that create lasting memories.
