WHAT NEEDS PLANNING

Bridesmaids Outfits

The bridesmaid’s outfits will often, but not always, match in colour but perhaps vary in design to accommodate the varying ages and sizes. The outfits can be hired, bought or designed from scratch, all of which are perfectly acceptable as long as the Bride is still the star of the show!

The Groom’s & Groomsmen's Outfits

Usually hired rather than bought outright, the Groom, Best Man, Ushers and Fathers of the Bride & Groom will all need to be kitted out in formal outfits with a consistent theme that compliment the Wedding Gown and Bridesmaids dresses.

Photographs and film provides a lasting memory to your Big Day that you can revisit over and over again – even show them to your children! Choosing the photographer and videographer, package, style of imagery and more are all things that you need to think about.

Transport

Normally, three vehicles are hired for the Wedding transport and are used by the Bride and Groom, Mother and Father of the Bride, the Best Man, and the Bridesmaids (albeit with some jigging about of passengers if the Reception venue is different to that of the Service). Traditionally vintage cars or horse and carriages were the mainstay of the Wedding transport, but these days Fire Engines, Police Cars, Tuk Tuk's or even Combine Harvesters can be used (cue the Wurzels!).

Stationery

Invites, thank-you cards, orders of service, menus, place-cards, not to mention the writing and proofing of them, are all part of the stationery that you will need to sort out. A consistent theme and style will usually run across all of the stationery items and be closely linked to the style and theme of your wedding.
