City chic wedding

  • Buy some of their simple vases and wooden candlestick holders, which you can then spray paint to the colour of your choice

  • Have a silhouette designed of you and your fiancé which you can then use on all of your wedding stationery

Romantic wedding

  • Rather than spending lots of money on beautiful ruffled chair covers, tie lengths of ribbon in pink, blush and nude to the backs of chairs to create a whimsical and romantic feel
  • Write personal letters to each of your guests, instead of favours, telling them how much they mean to you and your fiance
  • Write your own vows to each other to set the tone for your wedding day and to create something which is extremely personal and romantic during the ceremony
    Tie ribbons to chair backs for a chic, romantic look

  Hollywood wedding 

  • Use framed black and white photos of filmstars from the era to decorate your venue
  •  Name your tables after leading names from 1950s Hollywood
  • Create a red carpet entrance for your guests and ask your photographer to take some paparazzi-style shots as they enter to make them feel like movie stars
  • Set a dress code and ask guests to come dressed in bow ties and ball gowns

 Complete your Hollywood theme with a filmstar quiz for every table (gibertandevans.com)
