5 Classic Ideas
Want a wedding look that stands the test of time ? Embrace these classic choices .
1BLACK & WHITE
Simple , elegant , and timeless , black-and-white is forever chic . Consider a black-tie dress code . Pair a black tux with a white gown . Or assemble a monochrome bridal party . Keep it pared back and minimalist or accent with a single pop of colour such as blush , sage or baby blue . And , of course , you ’ ll want the beauty of black-and-white photography in the mix when it comes to your wedding album .

A
BEAUTI FU L VENUE
It ’ s no secret your choice of venue sets the tone for your entire celebration . Look to an historic or landmark building for timeless elegance and lasting impact , a country chapel for charm or a private estate for those expansive manicured grounds .

GOOD FOOD & WINE
You ’ ll never regret serving delicious food and wine at your wedding . Especially if food is your love language ! Treat yourselves and your guests to gourmet grazing , restaurant-quality meals , and top-shelf wine and spirits . And if ever there was a time to crack the good Champagne , it ’ s your wedding !

FRESH FLORALS
What ’ s not to love about florals ? Whether you use them as part of your tablescape , in your bouquet , or even floating above your reception , beautiful blooms will always impress . When it comes to colours , white flowers + greenery is a winning combo while pink roses or blush peonies are romantic favourites for a reason .
5 SOMETHING BLUE
You know how it goes : Old , new , borrowed , blue . Following this beloved adage will bring a touch of tradition to your day without impacting on your overall styling choices . And a touch of blue is easy to incorporate . Think royal-blue heels , sapphire earrings , a navy monogram embroidered into your veil or skirt , a flash of cornflower-blue in your bouquet or a personalised baby-blue ring box .
