You've said i do you have your pen and notebook to hand, so where do you start in planning the best day of your lives?

Most brides like to choose a theme to begin with, something that ties the whole day together whether it be an elegant manor house 1920s soiree, a quirky, relaxed garden party wedding or a sophisticated black tie affair.

Once a theme is chosen everything else will just simply fall into place.

As well as style, colour pallet and texture also play a big part in your theme. Hessian and tweeds with an outdoor wedding work well as do luxurious gold sequenced fabrics with a opulent 1920s theme.

Some brides simply seek inspiration from an item such as a family heirloom, material from their favourite designer dress or the image they have in their head from when they were a little girl. This is when their wedding theme is born.

So how do you present your theme to your guests? A great start is with your wedding save the date or invitation, after all this is the very first glimpse to your guests of how your wedding will be. From there your Venue, Cake and wedding favours can also reflect your theme allowing your day to flow perfectly.
