Anna Schimmel - European Bridal Designer

Make a statement with a wedding theme and great styling. Planning an overall look and colour palette will co-ordinate the look of your wedding and make it more personal. Be who you are and make your wedding unforgettable!

• 1. It's Your Day!

  As a couple, how do you imagine the most wonderful day of your life? Tying the theme closely to your relationship will make it personal and special. Create a style guide for your wedding day and take into consideration the time of year and size of your wedding.

• 2. Your Venue

  The venue will determine the look of your celebrations and may restrict your number of guests. Striking features, the time of day and quality of light may influence the look of the venue. Use these features to your advantage! It may be worth checking if other weddings are held the same day.

• 3. Create a Mood

  Thoughtful attention to colours and detail will make the most of your setting. Personal and meaningful touches make all the difference for your memorable day. Enlist your friends and family to offer suggestions, too.

• 4. Look the Part

  When choosing your wedding gown, discuss your theme and aspired overall style with your bridal designer. An experienced professional can design your wedding gown to be perfect for you, keeping in mind the desired mood.

• 5. Bridal Party

  The bridesmaids compliment the bride and their dresses need to be carefully chosen to make the most of your styling. When dressing the Groom and his groomsmen’s don’t just think suits and shirts but also consider their ties and cuff links. Adding a small detail or chosen colour can go a long way to giving the bridal party a co-ordinated look.

• 6. Great Music

  Have fun with your music and let it make your day unique. Discuss the mood of your day with your DJ or band and provide a list of your favourite songs. Or be different with a string quartet for your ceremony and a DJ for the night.

• 7. Getting there

  Transport is a great opportunity to showcase the feel of the day. Be it a Rover, red Porsche or a horse drawn carriage, the choice is yours. Distance and accessibility may influence your decision. Also consider the transport of your guests.

• 8. Beautiful Invites

  Invites will set the stage for your wedding and include your guests. Mention any special attire to give them the opportunity to dress accordingly and feel part of the day. Don’t forget to theme place cards, menus and other wedding stationery.

• 9. Wedding Flowers and Cake

  Here is your opportunity to express yourself and use colour and detailing freely. Create a romantic atmosphere and complement your theme by reflecting the style elements used throughout your wedding.

• 10. You've Set the Mood..

  Styling your day will create a memorable atmosphere, celebrating your personalities and your life together as a couple. It will make your wedding outstanding and colour your celebrations with that little bit extra. Style the day and make your wedding special!
