Who says weddingwear has to be traditional? Go against the grain of white dresses and black suits with colourful outfits and daring accessories. Explore the possibilities below for alternative wedding ideas to make your big day uniquely your own.
Dresses
For the bold and adventurous, why not try a short, red or black dress a-la Christine Quinn? Gothic, romantic styles are in so don’t be afraid to break the norm and do something different on your big day. For fans of a black wedding dress a-la Christine Quinn, you can find a gorgeous black wedding dress made by designer Martin Thornburg stocked at Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo.
Kilts
Alternative kilts for men come in many shapes and patterns. Try a houndstooth pattern or your favourite colours. Kilts 4 U even have a collection of football team themed kilts for footie daft grooms! For a personalised touch, choose a custom tartan palette with you and your partner’s favourite colours or birthstone colours for a sentimental nod to your loved one on your wedding day.
Florals
Roses are the most popular flowers that appear time and time again in bridal bouquets but there’s plenty of ways to put an alternative spin on your florals. Eternity Blooms have a stunning range of dried Everlasting flowers and corsages, perfect for adding a unique flair to your weddingwear. They also have artificial bridal and bridesmaids bouquets, allowing you to keep a piece of your special day forever.
Make-up
One way to ensure you stand out from the crowd is finding a make-up artist who can bring your vision to life, whatever that may be - from festival chic with glittery eyes to Gatsby-esque roaring twenties rosy cheeks and dainty red lips. Don’t be afraid to experiment with your look to find something that reflects you, that’s what wedding make-up trials are for! For those who want a “Red Carpet” ready look, Klaudii Beauty has you covered.
Rings
Last but not least, the rings! Contemporary styles come in all shapes and designs, so if a traditional diamond and gold band don’t suit your style, fear not, there are endless options available to you. Go a step further and create your own custom rings that embody your commitment to your loved one in your own unique way. Bercotts specialise in bespoke jewellery and stones, creating your dream engagement, wedding and eternity rings for a one of a kind piece that stands out from the crowd.
