Coloured wedding shoes

This trend has been going for a while now and I don’t see it stopping anytime soon.

Patterns

Leopard print, zebra stripes, and Chevron are big 2013 wedding trends

Bling

Crystals and bling were a big part of weddings in 2012. I haven’t seen this trend fade in the UK, which I’m glad of as I love a bit of sparkle.

Art Deco

I predict Art Deco weddings to be a big wedding trend for 2013. Think lace, pearls, fur, feathers, gorgeous jewelery, and silky materials.

Personalisation

Over the past few years weddings have become much more personalised than they used to be. Couples have monograms, they name tables after personal places, people, or things, and  they’re hands on with DIY projects. This year we will see even more personalisation in every wedding across the globe.

They wanted a venue with character and good food which led them to select 1 Lombard Street for their beautiful interior, fabulous circular bar and dome, and of course delicious food. Guests dined over candlelit surrounded by tall vases filled with royal blue and purple hydrangeas and delphiniums.  A string trio played throughout cocktails and dinner to set the mood before a 5-piece party band kicked off the evening.

It was an amazing day and Lloyd Dobbie photography captured it beautifully.

A gift registry for your Honeymoon!

Guests can contribute towards air fares, dinners, nights out, elephant rides, scuba dives, whatever you have planned on your romantic getaway!  Most of our brides and grooms are opting for this type of registry as the Honeymoon is a holiday you will never forget.

A gift registry to re-design your home

A handful of companies are offering interior design gift lists so the couple can start their married life with a fresh look to their home. Guests can buy pieces from the leg of a sofa to a chandelier to wall paint. If I could go back in time I would sign up for this!

A one stop shop gift list

I came across a company called The Bottom Drawer who offers couples a gift registry where they can pick and choose a mixture of gifts from multiple vendors. This might be money towards a new home, a massage on the Honeymoon, upgraded household items, or even cash gifts. There are fees to host your site here but the convenience usually outweighs these nominal fees. 

Charity lists

If you truly have everything you want, or you’d like to raise money for a Charity, then set up a registry for your guests to donate to a Charity of your choice. You can organise your list by visiting the Charity’s website or going to Give It.

Once you have an appointment to give notice you both need to prove the following seven statuses and bring documents to back it up:

Nationality (must have proof via a passport, British Birth Certificate, Driving License…)

Full Name (Passport, UK drivers license, Home Office travel document…)

Age (Passport, drivers license, birth certificate…)

Address (Drivers license, bank statements, council tax bill)

Current Status (single, divorced, widowed. Bring any appropriate certificates for proof)

Occupation

Intended Venue for Ceremony
