What kind of bride are you?

Sometimes there's nothing better than seeing a grandiose movie wedding, or watching your two favourite TV characters finally tie the knot. Weddings come in all shapes and sizes, but what kind of bride are you?

The Organised Bride

Friends

Hyper organised Monica from Friends is someone we don't want to mess with. Her long-awaited wedding to Chandler was perfect TV viewing (hiccups and all), but we can only dream of being as organised as her. Imagine how many spreadsheets she must have to go alongside her wedding folder. How organised are you with your wedding planning?

The Chilled Bride

Sex and the City

Miranda and Steve's chillaxed park wedding was perfect for them; no fuss, no thrills and just the people they loved around them. Even Carrie and Big's second wedding was a simple civil ceremony. Would you rather have a no fuss wedding?

The Impulsive Bride

Father of the Bride

The classic comedy Father of the Bride sees Annie and Bryan organise a speedy wedding (much to the distaste of their family) and get married after knowing each other for only one year. Do you like the thrill of impulsive decisions? Love living for the moment? Perhaps you're an Annie.

The Anxious Bride

The Runaway Bride

One of the many Julia Roberts spectaculars - but this time she has freak outs about huge weddings! If you're feeling a little anxious, worried about all eyes on you or the pressure of pleasing your friends and family, stop. Take a moment to yourself and think about what you want.

The Glamorous Bride

Bridesmaids

Glamour and fireworks only for the lovely Lillian at her wedding (even if that's not what she really wanted). Whilst she had a mini freak out pre-wedding day, and rightly so, her wedding day went without a hitch and she ended up having the best time. Fancy having puppy wedding favours and Wilson Phillips perform?

The Getaway Bride

Mamma Mia

Destination weddings are always a winner! Sophie's Grecian wedding with views over the ocean are what dreams are made of (I mean, imagine the tan). If you've ever thought of eloping - throwing away all the wedding planning and jumping on a plane to say your vows in the sun - then perhaps you're a Mamma Mia kind of girl.

The Intimate Bride

Twilight

The steamy wedding of Bella and Edward still gives us goosebumps. A woodland wedding completely enveloping the two of you, no matter how many guests are there, could be just the thing for you. Just a couple of fools from different worlds falling in love.
