If you are planning on heading down the aisle in 2021, the chances are that you want to do it in style. 2020 has put a halt to many weddings as people aren’t willing to forego their dream big day. Committing to your partner for the rest of your life should be one of the most memorable days of your existence. While many people choose to go down the traditional route and get wed in a church, others are seeking something a little more unique for their big day. Take a look at these three simple ways to say ‘I do’ in style.
The Rings
Many couples opt for very simple wedding bands that have been purchased from a high street jeweller. However, to go the extra mile and add a sense of wonder to your big day, you could select alternative wedding rings. Many would-be grooms even choose to source their own round cut diamonds to make into the perfect engagement rings. Buying the diamond and designing the ring for a jeweller to then create takes thought and consideration. Wedding rings don’t have to be the traditional gold band. You could choose titanium, platinum or sterling silver as an alternative. Bands encrusted with gemstones or utilizing different patterns and engravings are becoming more popular and will add a touch of uniqueness to your wedding plans.
Venue
Rather than opting for a hotel or a church, think about the sort of venue that gives your wedding more personality. If you are a pair of movie buffs or you had your first date watching a blockbuster, think about getting hitched at your local arthouse cinema. These 1920s buildings can make great backdrops for your photographs. With art deco styling, your big day can ooze glamour and elegance. The big screen will be the perfect platform on which to display a compilation of your greatest moments as a couple. You will even have a readymade aisle and seating to house your congregation. You could even go the whole hog and enjoy some cinema snacks a la ice cream tubs and popcorn for people to enjoy post-ceremony.
Catering
The food for your big day may include a wedding breakfast and some evening grub as your guests dance the night away. For your wedding breakfast, you could opt for a three-course sit-down affair or you might want to go for a more informal buffet. Consider the dietary requirements of guests and select your catering accordingly. You might want to have some food from your heritage. Trinidadian cuisine, Creole food, or some traditional British hog roasted dishes might be what you are after. In the evening, go for something simple and informal. A street food van is all the rage at the moment and can look wonderful for your photos. Add in a pick and mix sweet station or a giant cheese board kiosk and you could have food to cater for all of your attendees. Going the extra mile with the food can elevate the style of your wedding day.
Follow this simple guide and you can be sure of saying ‘I do’ in style in 2021.
