The Bird Cage Vail

A glamourous look with a fun and less hassling look than a long traditional vail. This has a wonderful vintage feel and is perfect for the more mature or second time around bride

The Strapless Dress

This will be a continued trend for sometime! However watch out for shorter, quirky dresses with a sixties feel! Great for a city wedding

The bridesmaid Dress

Letting your maids chose their own dresses, this takes the pressure off the bride and they have a dress they really like and will wear again. they may be different heights, dress sizes,, have different hair and skin colour, so the same shade may not suit them all. This way they will all be comfortable with what they are wearing

Colour

2010 is subtle and sophisticated!

Winter and spring is colours of red, mocha and sage where as summer colours are platinum, champagne with pale yellows or corals

Monochrome is also very popualr, add a third colour for instant impact like cerise pink or bright yellow, great for a marquee or barn wedding

Decoration

Couple’s are now really looking for something a bit different to make a real impact on their special day! Here are some ideas

Ostrich Feather Displays

Ostrich Feather displays, wow you guests with big bold displays in tall tower vases, they really make an impact and if you hire them there will be no need to worry about them afterwards

Balloons

Balloon displays in your chosen colour scheme can add impact and be very pretty whilst being very economical, great for children to take home with them doubling up as favours

Sweets Table

Jars of sweets/ having a sweets table with a little sign saying ‘Help Yourself’, is fun and different to the tradition individual favour given to guests

Mirrors

Mirrors can make such an impact, use them on the tables, as a table plan, even to serve the canapés with, reflection of the lights, candles etc add to the atmosphere and look beautiful

Wishing Tree

A fantastic and very different alternative to the tradional guest book, originally a Dutch tradition, guest make a wish for the couple on a tag and then tie to the tree

Photo Frames

The wedding is after all a celebration of the couples love and their life together so far, a display of photo albums and photo frames of the couple for guests to browse through during the drinks reception is a lovely touch

Table Names

It’s becoming increasingly common for couples to steer away from table numbers and theme their wedding tables instead. A big trend is to name tables after places the couple have been too on holiday or theme with a particular mutual interest of theirs. This is a great talking point for guests
