May 22, 2012

With the Jubilee year upon us, why not choose your wedding day to celebrate the Queen’s Jubilee as well?

‘Vintage Tea Party’ is a great theme for a summer wedding as it means you can have a lovely relaxed wedding and potentially you can be outside enjoying the summer sun. But why not make your wedding more relevant by basing your theme on the Queen’s Jubilee year?

Here is our advice on making your Jubilee Tea Party Wedding a reality.

Your Dress

For your dress you need to think along a vintage theme with lace or dresses with a boat neckline. Following Catherine and William’s wedding, lace dresses are very ‘in’ at the moment and there are many gorgeous choices and all price ranges for you.

You also need to consider your accessories when creating your look. Think about some vintage bridal hair accessories, family heirlooms or colour.

Also consider adding some colour to your wedding outfit with some red cute shoes or colourful accessories. Have a look at this post from Brides up North for some ‘royal’ inspiration.

Bridesmaid Dresses

For your bridesmaid dresses there are two main ways you could go; patriotic or vintage floral. For patriotic you could have your bridesmaids in red, blue and white if you want to be quite obvious with the jubilee theme. Or you could choose some pretty vintage floral dresses to keep in with the tea party theme like in these examples on Intimate Weddings and from Rock My Wedding.

Cake

With your cake, either cupcakes or wedding cakes , you can have a bit of fun with the theme and include them in the colour theme. Why not have a cream icing and have blue and red cases or including red flowers on a white cake with a blue ribbon?
