Look for an iconic venue such as the Royal Liver Building to truly reflect your roots, and serve a wedding breakfast packed with fresh locallysourced produce. You could also source wine from a Cheshire-based vineyard such as Carden park. Offer guests a locally-themed favour from a nearby gin distillery or apiary, and be sure to head out into the city or countryside to capture the best of the region’s backdrops with your photographer.

SUMMER HOLIDAY Behind the scenes We’re all going on a summer holiday! Cliff’s 1960s fun-filled flick saw him and his mates travel from London across Europe in a red London bus. Embrace the movie’s vibe with a retro-themed wedding day. Your wedding palette will be packed with bold colours, while geometric shapes will feature in your stationery. Blend this year’s trendsetting colours of yellows, browns and oranges to ultimate retrochic effect. Walk down the aisle in a knee-length tea dress, or a gown with beautiful balloon sleeves, while your groom brings his own period touches with a paisley print tie and pocket square. Opt for a flower crown instead of a veil for a flower power edge. When it comes to the entertainment, offer guests an evening of nostalgia with a retro cover band. Think British Invasion and devise a playlist including The Beatles, The Kinks, The Rolling Stones, The Who and more. First dance song, Elvis’ Can’t Help Falling In Love is one of our all time faves. Arrive in style Pay homage to the period with Cliff’s vintage red bus to transport guests from A to B in memorable fashion, and hire a classic 60s VW Beetle for the two of you. 56
