Who is suitable for a wedding in the English style? First of all, young couples who are inspired by «Downton Abbey», old manor houses of the last century, aristocratic refinement and restraint. Professional decoration of the hall, thematic accessories, the bride’s outfit and the groom’s suit, as well as the color palette will help to emphasize the chosen style.
Among the British there is one tradition — to send invitations by mail. If the newlyweds don’t like this option, you can order classic invitations from a printing house according to a pre-prepared layout. On them should be English symbolic things: London sentries, red phone booths, double-decker buses, the British flag, one of the legendary London bridges. A simpler option — ordinary invitations of pastel color with a floral ornament.
In England at a wedding, it is customary to give guests bonbonnières — small gifts that they will take away with them. It can be a British badge or flag, a magnet on the fridge, bags of English tea.
If you have the opportunity, it is worth renting an old manor house, a country cottage or an English-style restaurant. They are characterized by wooden furniture, large bar counters, futuristic stools, bar stools and small sofas with velour upholstery. Many restaurants have real fireplaces with crackling wood. Such an attribute will create an incredible atmosphere of peace and comfort.
To emphasize the atmosphere of old England will help decorative elements, including: moulages of telephone buses, bridges, telephone booths, review wheels, red bonbonnières, old books. Gilded jewelry, crystal, lace textiles, fresh flowers — everything that speaks of the elegant and aristocratic style of the English.
For photography it is worth using a cylinder, umbrella, a pipe for the groom, an old car. The background will be an alley with English lanterns, a park, a countryside restaurant.
For the bride is ideal for a long dress, emphasizing her virtues due to the style, rather than bright elements. Instead of a veil, you can use a hat with a veil or a decorative hairpin. In the image are allowed openwork elements and a long train. If it is difficult to pick up the dress on the type of figure, it is worth using the services of a seamstress who will take into account all the wishes of the bride.
Footwear options — open-toed sandals, classic shoes on a medium-length heel. Hair is neatly styled using a small amount of fixing varnish.
Makeup of the bride is discreet, natural. Well suited matte lipstick of warm colors, a small accent on the eyes. Manicure monochrome or French. Bouquet of the bride can be almost any and consist of orchids, lilies, roses. The shape is cascading or hemispherical.
The groom chooses one of the classic suits. It can be a tuxedo, a tailcoat, a double or a triple. The color is black, dark blue or gray. The shirt is white or a gentle shade. English watch on a chain and a cylinder hat will help to complete the image.
Guests stick to an elegant style and do not use a lot of jewelry. Girls wear long or short dresses, made in the same style or color. For guys, classic suits and light-colored shirts are suitable. A good addition will be cylinder hats, watches, cufflinks.
