INSPIRATION
white flowers like roses , lilies or ranunculus in your arrangements and place them in clear vases . Opt for white china and linens for your tables , and if you want a pop of cololur then incorporate something neutral like a sage green rather than a bright , contrasting hue .
LESS IS MORE One of the most obvious ways to make your wedding a luxurious affair is to bring fine dining into the fore . This means selecting smaller , more intricate dishes that offer maximum impact rather than filling tables with an abundance of different foods . A tasting menu which offers guests multiple courses but on a smaller scale is a good way to exude sophistication - especially if you include a wine pairing to accompany .
SOPHISTICATED SOUNDS For an opulent occasion you need a sophisticated soundtrack , and you can achieve this by choosing the likes of string quartets , pieces of piano music or even an orchestra for your day . Classical music is timeless , charming and a wonderful way to add some melodic romance to your wedding .
If your budget won ’ t quite stretch to having a live orchestra serenading you for hours on end , then an inexpensive way to bring classical charm to your wedding is by creating a playlist of music that you can play in the background during the wedding breakfast and during the drinks reception .
