Most girls from a young age think about a dream wedding. It's a guilty pleasure we all indulge in- what would be yours? Although many of us won’t agree on everything, there are some central running themes that we probably all have. Here are just a few, so whether you're actively planning details or just dreaming about 'one day', here are some important aspects that would make up your dream coming true.
A gorgeous gown
When you think of the best kinds of wedding dresses, many of us think of the classic styles. Whether a princess ballgown is your dream dress, a mermaid silhouette, a column dress or something flowy and etherial, companies like Allure Bridals have plenty of options to browse. Spend some time considering what you like and dont like, what would suit your shape and personality and get an overall feeling of what you think you would go for. That way if you go into a bridal shop it's easier to narrow down choices and you know what to try on.
An incredible venue
Think back to when you first starting to imagine your wedding, the setting probably features heavily. Maybe a well-loved but creaking middle-age cathedral with wooden flooring, carved rock and a beautiful ceiling? The amazing Victorian architecture of the St Pancras Renaissance Hotel is a captivating place to either have the ceremony or party. The stone archways are to die for and the view of the building alone will make you want it more. Perhaps a modern hotel is more your vibe, a destination wedding or even a do in your own back garden? Whatever it is, get the location right and the other details will fall into place.
Delicious food
Your wedding meal will be one of the most memorable dinners you will ever eat so it should be right! Whether you go with French, Italian, Indian or whatever other cuisine you enjoy, spend some time considering the menu so it's something you and your guests will all enjoy. There are all kinds of catering companies these days that offer everything from the traditional to the unusual, so whether you're after a banquet, an afternoon tea, street food or something totally off the cuff, it can certainly be made into a reality.
Beautiful bridesmaids
When it comes to planning a dream wedding, the bridesmaids' are super important. We all want our closest girlfriends up there with us supporting us, and choosing their gowns can be such an exciting part of planning a wedding. They need to complement the bride's dress, while also fitting the overall theme and color scheme of the wedding. One trend that has been gaining popularity in recent years is mix and match bridesmaid dresses. This allows each bridesmaid to choose a dress style that flatters their body type and personal style, while still creating a cohesive look for the bridal party. To complete the look, accessories such as statement jewelry, elegant hair accessories, and perfectly styled hair and makeup are essential.
Wedding cake
No wedding is complete without a stunning wedding cake. The wedding cake not only serves as a delicious dessert for the guests but also as a centerpiece for the reception. One of the most popular trends in wedding cakes right now is the naked cake. These cakes are made without any frosting or fondant, allowing the layers and flavors of the cake to shine through. Another popular trend is the drip cake, where a ganache or caramel sauce is drizzled over the top and down the sides of the cake, creating a stunning and mouth-watering effect. And let's not forget about the cake topper, which can be personalised with your names or a meaningful quote.
Everybody has their own fantasy wedding. These are just some of the common themes that you and millions of other people might share. Pick an alluring dress that compliments your figure, a historical ceremonial venue and food that is elegant but comes from humble backgrounds.
