I'm not married and have never really thought about what I would have in detail ... but it was a really interesting exercise to do. I've got loads of ideas for weddings now I've been working in the wedding industry for so long it was great to think about what I'd have and not work on a scheme for a blog or client! There are so many choices its really difficult!

Invites, - well I'd do my own obviously! I would want a vintage festival theme in browns, duck egg blues and pink. www.knotsandkisses.co.uk
Venue, - I'd have a yurt village festival theme at somewhere like www.cornishtipiholidays.co.uk <http://www.cornishtipiholidays.co.uk/> or another camp/farm site locally who would let me set up lots of yurts or tipis!

Decoration/ favours - The interior of the yurts would be long trestle tables, wild flowers in vintage bottles and teapots, with a drawing room set up outside with old lamps & sofas. Lots of twinkly fairy lights in trees and Moroccan style lanterns in the yurts.
Hair and makeup - I'd probably do my own, I want to look like me on my wedding day.
Dresses, - I'd want a dress from BHLDN - real vintage feel. http://www.bhldn.com/Menswear, - I'd leave it up to him ... he can wear what he likes
Cakes, - I would almost certainly make my own as I love baking, but to be honest I've never liked the idea of a traditional cake, I would prefer a dessert and cheese buffet from Sweet Dream Events. http://www.sweetdreamevents.co.uk/

Photographer, - Agh .. to many people I like but I'd want a really relaxed reportage style.
Entertainment - I'd want a live band like The Redfords, and a children's tent to keep my smaller relatives occupied!
Wedding Planner - ooh so not sure on this one there are so many fabulous people about! If I got married where I currently live in Essex I'd probably choose Kate Fletcher Events as she also hires out loads of fab vintage props which I could use for decoration. http://www.katefletcherevents.co.uk/

What one top tip would you give to a bride to be in arranging her wedding?
Put together a mood board with all of your ideas to really see if they work together. So many weddings are a jumble of ideas that don't really gel because couples have just picked loads of random things they've come across without thinking if they fit into the feel of their day.
