Wedding Options
Country House weddings
These idyllic country surroundings usually allow for weddings with a glamorous feel. You can make this style of the perfect wedding venue as low key or as high class as you both want for your big day.
Black tie weddings
This perfect wedding theme is a day-long event with the feel of a real elegant cocktail party with opulent surroundings. All your guests dress in black tie and gowns with sophisticated flair and design.
Hotel-package weddings
This type of option is perfect if you want everything held under one roof and all the catering and entertainment provided. It is also ideal for any guests that wish to find overnight accommodation.
Alternative weddings
Perhaps you would love to get married up a mountain or on the top of a double-decker bus. An alternative wedding is as far away from tradition as it is possible to take it.
Castle weddings
If you would like a perfect dreamy wedding theme location where you can feel like a king and queen, a castle wedding is perfect.
Festival-style weddings
These weddings are full of fun, bright colours and vibrant, they can be held in a converted barn or even wedding yurts, great if you are perfect for festival lovers.
Marquee weddings
If you don't want a hotel or indoor venue constraints, a marquee wedding can be held almost anywhere from your parents back garden to a secluded beach.
City weddings
You would choose several locations for a city wedding, usually a pub for a drink, a bistro for food and photographs taken at your favourite landmark. Less traditional and quite often for a small number of guests.
Destination weddings
The world is your oyster, and your destination wedding can be held almost anywhere in the world. Most destinations have wedding planners for hire to help with the planning of your big day.
We hope this wedding quiz has helped you answer the questions regarding: Which Style of Wedding do I choose? We wish you all the best in planning your wonderful day.
