Wedding décor ideas

Bring interest and colour to your wedding with a stunning decorative theme. Be ahead of your time, at the cutting edge of fashion or simply have a unique look unlike any other. You might choose to simply incorporate your favourite colour, have a running theme, a subtle feel or an overall style that runs from your initial Save the Date cards, through to your bridal party outfits and even the venue and the cake.

Rich, regal chocolate-box purples, warm coffee colours and bright citrus shades are all very much in vogue for 2014. There are plenty of wedding collections to inspire you, whether you're planning a festive winter wedding or a summer outdoor extravaganza. A pretty and romantic butterfly or love-bird theme or a striking vintage or retro celebration will come to life with colour and the right details.

Dramatic:
If you're a bride who prefers bold colours to pastels and likes to make a statement, then a dramatic theme is for you. Theatrical, unusual venues, with high ceilings, striking picture windows and roaring open fires are all ideal for a dramatic-themed wedding. Over-sized floral decorations make bold statements and are as unusual as they are beautiful. Decorate ceilings with a thousand hanging ribbons, beads or crystals to add a truly amazing wow factor. Coloured lighting will enhance the look further and a dramatic firework finale will finish the evening reception with a bang!

Symbolic:
The lighting of candles or the pouring of sand add a symbolic twist in a visually interesting way for all. During a symbolic sand ceremony the bride and groom take it in turns to pour coloured sand into a beautiful keepsake glass vase in front of their loved ones to symbolise the joining of two people, two families and the unity of their coming together. The symbolic sand ceremony can be performed anywhere with permission. Make a seaside wedding extra special and perform your sand ceremony on the beach or at a beautiful cliff-top venue for full effect. With decorative sand in every colour you're sure to find the right shades for your colour scheme.

Organic:
Green weddings are 'where it's at' and not just for ethical or political reasons. A natural wedding theme, with its warm and friendly rustic country look can be eco-friendly as well uber stylish. Get married in the great outdoors or celebrate your reception in a barn, in woodland or at a beautiful botanical venue such as Kew Gardens to ensure a stunning backdrop to your wedding photos.

Romance and roses:
One wedding look that will always be in fashion is romance. In classic elegant form or a more contemporary reworking, the traditional look of the bridal bodice, morning suits and roses never dates. Bring it into the 21st century or work it with vintage, fairytale or retro details. A candle-lit castle, romantic Victorian hotel with balconies and high ceilings or a venue with beautiful rose gardens will all hit the spot.

This may be what's tipped to be hot for next year but the sky's the limit! When you plan your wedding it's up to you what colours, look and theme the whole day takes on. It's your chance to get creative and stamp your own personal style on the day you celebrate your marriage - the first day of the rest of your lives together. Make it even more special.
