Dresses and designs – Your dress is one of the most important aspects of your entire day. As a bride to be, it will be the thing you’ve most dreamed about.

Remember that if it doesn’t fit perfectly, you can request alterations for every aspect of the dress design. Don’t forget to choose beautiful pieces of jewellery to compliment your dress and add an extra element of stylish detail.
Invites and Cards – Handwritten fonts and personalized cards are totally on trend in the wedding scene right now. Consider hiring a calligrapher to hand write your invites, or alternatively, a good printing or design company should be able to mock something up for you. Monogrammed invites and save the date cards are highly fashionable and make for a great keepsake. You could even have your monogram stitched onto cushions or homeware products after your big day as an everlasting reminder. Choose quality cardstock and paper with a weight of over 300gsm for the perfect thickness and style. This will ensure that your cards aren’t flimsy and cheap.
Cakes and Food – Delicious treats and decadent cakes are one of the fun things to plan. You can really get creative with your cakes. Wedding cake trends that are really hot this year include metallic cakes with beading and gilding. This adds a touch of romance, especially for winter weddings with a cool, crisp silver and gold theme.
Flowers and Table Design – Flower trends that are really coveted right now include pastel colours and huge, lavish displays. Winter is one time of the year when you can go delightfully overboard with flower arrangements and add some interest to an otherwise simplistic and modern wedding plan.
Favors and Gifting – Getting creative with favors and wedding gifts is the way forward. Think about cute designs and gifts to give to your guests. Thank them in the most stylish of ways for being a part of your big day! Hand-made items and locally produced confectionery are always in fashion.
