Wedding accessories

So you have the ring, you have the dress, you even have the shoes, and you've booked the venue months ago, but how do you add the "icing to the cake", so to speak, that is your wedding day? One word: accessories.
The extra details can really be a girl's best friend on her wedding day, and the big difference between a great day and the best of your life - don't leave spinsterhood (or bachelorhood) without them. Plan Your Wedding talks accessorising.

What sort of wedding accessories do I need?

Accessories can be used to ramp up your wedding:

• Outfit;
• Bridal party;
• Groomsmen;
• Table settings;
• Ceremony;
• Guests Gifts;
• Present Table;
• Wishing well. or
• Reception venue

The limit is your imagination only.

What will give my wedding that "extra touch?"

Here are some great wedding accessory ideas to impress your guests and make your special day one you will never forget - for all the right reasons!

• Have an accessory theme for your bridal party and groomsmen. This can often match your chosen wedding colours. So if your colours are the classically chosen white and pink, you could accessorise each bridesmaid with pink flowers in their hair and a pink necklace or brooch. Groomsmen could wear a pink tie, pink lapel pin or pink cuff links - the bride and groom could also incorporate the same shade of pink into their wedding outfits.

• Make your table settings shine. You can really be outrageous here if you wish. Some enviable table setting wedding accessories include; bowls of goldfish on the tables, tiny cupcakes with the bride and grooms names engraved in icing, hard boiled lollies scattered across the table to form the word love, or marriage or happiness, baby photos of the bridge and groom with a guessing game attached and even party poppers or streamers for the guests to use when the bride and groom are announced as man and wife. The opportunities are endless!

• Give your guests a gift to remember. These days attending a wedding is almost as exciting as getting married, with guests being fed and watered to their hearts content, and usually going home with a present in tow. Gone are the days of just a handful of sugared almonds as a keepsake. Clever and memorable bonbonniere ideas for your wedding include:

• Body moisturizer for him and her;
• Boxes of jelly beans;
• Love heart shaped chocolate;
• Photo albums;
• Photo frames;
• Gift vouchers;
• House plants;
• Bonsai plants; and even
• Games!

Make your wedding the most memorable ever by thinking of great accessory ideas that will never be forgotten, by you, or your thrilled guests.
