Perhaps most popular for a wedding theme is the latter part of the period the show depicts: the roaring 20s and the early Art Deco era. Bridal fashion inspired by the 20s and 30s is absolutely stunning with oodles of Art Deco-style embellishment, straight lines and heaps of glamour darling. Switch up your look for the evening and change into a fun flapper-girl style dress before you hit the dancefloor. A stately home venue will fit the bill to perfection allowing you to live your best Lady Mary life. Fill it with the sounds of a jazz band for the ultimate ambience. For more inspiration look no further than Corinne and Matt’s real wedding feature this issue. The couple carried off this vision to perfection. Arrive in style Imagine pulling up outside of your grand historical venue in a vintage Rolls Royce. The 7th Earl of Grantham would expect nothing less! JURASSIC PARK Behind the scenes John Williams’ theme from Jurassic Park is a surprisingly popular bridal entrance track! So, we say, why not go all out? If one, or both of you, are dinosaur fans, this theme is a super-fun way to express your love of palaeontology. There are plenty of little nods you can include to keep it classy. We love the idea of naming your reception tables after various dinosaur species. Enlist the talents of a local cake maker too to create a showstopping reveal cake: ultimate elegance at the front dinosaur fun at the back! Perhaps you’re simply fans of the 90s cinema classics in general? Movie theatres were awash with New-York-set rom coms that still count as fan favourites. When Harry Met Sally, You’ve Got Mail, Maid In Manhattan, Sleepless in Seattle, Moonstruck, the list goes on and on. Arrive in style Keyhole Motors’ (www.keyholemotors.com) Jurassic Park Jeep Wrangler provides the ultimate photo opportunity. Surprise the groom on wedding morn, or travel together in 90s style post ceremony. For the New York romcom lovers, Keyhole Motors also have a Crown Victoria NYX yellow cab available for hire. The perfect nod to the Big Apple. TRANSPORT 55
