Game? Get Set: Match

Getting hitched? Want to realise your bright ideas but don’t know which? Here’s some inspiration for the big day.

Once you’ve settled on the dress (and what’s underneath), head to Luella’s Boudoir (33 Church Road, SW19 5DQ; 020 8879 7744) for the accessories. You’ll need hair and make-up; hand that task over to The Bridal Artists.

Book the venue. If you’ve no stateley and the local town hall depresses you, camp it up where you like. Decorate with flowers, tattoo the walls, or go completely green.

When it comes to food, trust Top Hat Catering or deWintons. Or just order canapes to your door and serve yourself. Imaginative cakes come from Amanda Streeter; Michelle Cakes makes bespoke sugar figurines to go on top.

When it’s all over, send a cinematic memento to guests, or thank them for their presence (and their presents) with a personal ThankView message.

Most importantly, don’t forget to enjoy yourself. Everything will, no doubt, go off without a hitch.

Except, of course, the very kind you’re looking for. For further inspiration, check out our spring and autumn 2006 guides.
