To be Formal or Not to be Formal.......

Love never goes out of style………  select the style that suits you perfectly

Ultra Formal
A wedding with the upmost grandeur.  An ultra-formal occasion may feature you wearing traditional white gown and a cathedral train.  Perhaps a dozen bridesmaids will toast you using dazzling crystal flutes as 200 guests gaze with delight at the lavish décor you have chosen.  After saying “I do” your dashing groom, attired in an oxford gray cutaway coat, will take your hand and led you to where the Rolls-Royce awaits, purring sweetly as you make your getaway.

Formal
On a slightly smaller scale, a formal event is chic yet traditional.  Your rosy cheeks may be set aglow by your candlelight floor-length gown and stunning chapel train.  Chosen to compliment your wedding’s colour scheme, your invitations will serve as an unforgettable introduction to the special day.  Perhaps your ceremony will take place in a church or social club and your groom will appear simply dapper in his stylish designed yet conventional jet black tuxedo.

Semi-Formal
In lieu of the fanfare and ceremony of some wedding styles, you may choose an alternative yet equally beautiful affair.  You may choose to wear a striking suit or simple aline slip dress rather than a traditional dress.  Your wedding party may be intimate, consisting of your closest friends and family.  Perhaps you and your groom will exchange vows at the city hall or in a judge’s chambers.  Invitations to your semi-formal occasion may be printed with poems or photographs for a truly personal touch.

Informal
Create a unique gala a step away from tradition with an informal event.  You may be wrapped in a designer pastel-coloured dress and crowned with a tiara of fresh flowers.  Your one or two attendants dressed in tea-length dresses, may be found mingling amidst a crowd of less than 100 guests, relishing hors d’ouevres and champagne. Perhaps your friends and family members will blow bubbles instead of throwing rice upon your escape.

Choosing your desired wedding style will influence all other aspects of your celebration, such as the style of your wedding dress, your attendants’ attire, the size, time and location of your ceremony, the type of reception, invitation style.
Your day..... Your Style...
