A Glamorous Dress. There’s nothing more beautiful than a bride who feels comfortable, and looks sensational, in a truly glamorous wedding dress. An eye-catching gown will be one of the main focal points as you walk down the aisle, throughout your reception, when you cut the cake and during your first dance - but it will also appear in all of your wedding photos for years to come. If you're working with a budget, make sure you spend what you can afford. There are so many reasonably priced gowns which will make you look a million dollars! Start searching for your dream dress now.

A Magnificent Bouquet. The flowers at your wedding will also appear in a lot of your wedding photos, so efforts towards ordering a stunning bouquet of flowers to carry down the aisle are a must. Whether it’s an over-sized bouquet of peach and ivory peonies or a hand-tied posy of romantic roses, there are several ways to add that touch of luxury and make your bouquet stand out. Adding a touch of lace with a vintage brooch; having a crystal or diamante detailing on the stem, or simply choosing flowers that scream gorgeous could complete your luxurious bridal style!

Luxurious Transport. Getting to the church or venue on time is essential, so why not travel and arrive in style? There are dozens of wedding car companies out there offering the hire of Rolls Royce Phantoms, Daimlers, stretched limousines, Bentleys and even stylish sports cars to kick-start your luxurious wedding day. Add that touch of luxury by having your wedding car chauffeur driven!

An Exquisite Menu. The food at your wedding will always be forever talk about (if it’s really good). So why not treat your guests to a wedding breakfast menu unlike any other? Consider serving caviar, langoustines or gravadlax before a beef wellington, lobster or a prime steak served with truffles for the main. For dessert, a torte topped with edible gold leaf or a decadent slice of wedding cake should do the trick.

A Fabulous Bridal Suite. It’s only fair that after a luxurious wedding day you should retire to an uber-luxurious bridal suite. If your wedding venue doesn’t offer bedrooms then be sure to book the best room at a nearby hotel. That way, the morning after your wedding you’ll be able to wake up in the lap of luxury and reminisce about your amazing wedding day with your partner for life by your side.
