Wedding Post Boxes... with Style

When your planning your wedding you have so many details and decisions to put into place that it's very easy to overlook a wedding post box, however this small details does play an important part in the smooth running of your day.

You have spent many months planning your perfect day and your guests have spent many weeks (or some, even months too) planning to celebrate your day with you. Your guests plan their outfit, transport, your wedding gift and also plan the warmest wishes to write in their wedding card for the happy couple. So as you can see, it is vital that once your guests arrive at your wedding venue, they have a specific and safe place to lay their cards.

Now, you can just have a little plain box, but why stop there. Make you wedding post box part of your wedding decoration to create a stunning impact. For example, with vintage weddings being so popular this year and the year ahead, we absolutely love our new elegant Bird Cage post box, shown below:

For a country themed wedding, the menu should be something truly celebrating the gifts of nature, while coupling great taste with thoughtful presentation. For a country wedding, you actually have lots of terrific choices when it comes to the menu.

The same rule applies to floral decoration- simple yet stylish simultaneously. Go for centrepieces that do not look like total contrasts. Instead of settling for something expensive, use flowers that you can see around you. As for vessels, they should be chic but not pretentious.

The bride’s gown plays a vital role into manifesting the overall look and feel of the wedding. Choosing the right attire for the bride is a good place to get started. What you need is a gown that atone the natural charm around you with a touch of elegance and sophistication about it. A plain gown with more subtle embellishments and gracious cuts has the potential to accentuate the appeal of the country theme many folds.
