It’s your wedding and you’ve probably been dreaming about it for a long time. Make it unique and personal by adding the things that you love, that make you happy and that you will want to look back on with pride and joy. It’s possible to create almost anything these days… the world is your oyster! Enjoy the ride, planning your big day is the coolest journey to embark on with your man by your side. We’ve rounded up a few things that have recently caught our eye and made us swoon a little. Or a lot.

1. Distinctive pops of colour – add your own personal touches. Colour always looks great on film and since it’s your day, do it your way!

2. Adding “PINK” in new ways, mixed and accented by other colours. It’s not the hue of romance and style for nothing, a touch of pink can be so cute and gorgeous! There are countless ways to incorporate pink into your wedding day whilst still keeping your fiancé happy.

3. Going global and adding worldwide traditions to your wedding feast – your guests will love feeling like they’ve had a cultural experience with something new different for them to sample and enjoy. Profiterole towers are particularly cool and easy – the French sure know to celebrate in style!

4. Cocktails – personalised cocktail drinks, coasters and swizzlers – so chic!
Not only are divine drinks trendy, they set the tone and mood for a real party, and personalised coasters make fantastic keepsakes.

5. Kids stealing the show for all the right reasons and raising the cuteness factor! Don’t be afraid to use children in your wedding, they will guarantee great photos, happy moments and plenty of laughs.

6. Wedding favours that are personalised, affordable and cute – if you are imaginative then this is one way to let your creative juices flow. And if you are not, then there are many who are and who can help you dazzle your guests with lovely trinkets.

7. Summer ideas – warm temps might seem like a long, long way off to us right now, but we just love these refreshing and cute ideas!

8. Night caps! Make a lasting impression with delicious late night snacks that will make your guests leave with a full belly and a smile on their face! Remember food is a big deal to guests, so make sure they don’t go hungry.

9. Different locations and venues – nothing like mixing it up a little. Nowhere is “off limits” now. Whether it’s a carnival wedding, an aquarium party or a zoo do, there’s a venue that can suit you.

10. Distinguished and dapper- looking striking is not just for the girls anymore. There are tons of options for the boys to wow us these days. Whether you are the groom or merely a guest, lads, don’t be shy to go a little debonair with a bow tie and fedora!
