Instead of serving the standard Mimosa or Champagne flute, create a signature cocktail each and have these set out on a pop-up bar. Be sure to include your favourite flavours and perhaps put out a little explanation about your beverage of choice. Maybe gin was the first drink you got merry on together \ud83d\ude09<\/span><\/p>\n<p><center><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-24505\" src=\"https:\/\/weddingdates-wp-uk.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/2016\/08\/5c0296dad285f4b51018ce9467239bb2.jpg\" alt=\"Cocktail Station\" width=\"736\" height=\"1103\" srcset=\"https:\/\/weddingdates.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/5c0296dad285f4b51018ce9467239bb2.jpg 736w, https:\/\/weddingdates.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/5c0296dad285f4b51018ce9467239bb2-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/weddingdates.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/5c0296dad285f4b51018ce9467239bb2-534x800.jpg 534w, https:\/\/weddingdates.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/5c0296dad285f4b51018ce9467239bb2-500x750.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 736px) 100vw, 736px\" \/><\/center><\/p>\n<h2>It&#8217;s All About DIY Darling!<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More and more couples\u00a0are ditching the professionals in favour of\u00a0creating their own floral arrangements or wedding cake.

Take inspiration from this as a theme for your big day. You don\u2019t have to go overboard by asking\u00a0guests to dress in costume, instead you could use subtle references such as naming tables after popular scenes of the movie or perhaps apply the style to your wedding stationery. The Great Gatsby is a popular choice for many bride and grooms, as the glamorous era lends itself to elegant d\u00e9cor and glitzy outfit choices.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-24496\" src=\"https:\/\/weddingdates-wp-uk.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/2016\/08\/PicMonkey-Collage.jpg\" alt=\"Great Gatsby Themed Wedding\" width=\"2859\" height=\"2000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/weddingdates.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/PicMonkey-Collage.jpg 2859w, https:\/\/weddingdates.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/PicMonkey-Collage-300x210.jpg 300w, https:\/\/weddingdates.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/PicMonkey-Collage-768x537.jpg 768w, https:\/\/weddingdates.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/PicMonkey-Collage-1000x700.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/weddingdates.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/PicMonkey-Collage-750x525.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2859px) 100vw, 2859px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Include Your Loved Ones<\/h2>\n<p><center><\/center><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No doubt your parents have helped greatly when it comes to planning your big day. Whether they generously helped with costs or lent their years of expertise to\u00a0planning and logistics, it is a lovely\u00a0idea to include them or dedicate a part of the day to them. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You could choose the same flowers your Mum carried\u00a0down the aisle, stitch a piece\u00a0of your dad&#8217;s shirt to the inside of your dress\u00a0or incorporate a traditional family dish into the meal as a surprise on the day. Another popular touch is placing wedding photos of both sets of parents\u00a0on the\u00a0cake stand.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Image Credits: <\/strong>1) via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bluenile.com\/designers\/monique-lhuillier\" class=\"broken_link\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" rel=\"nofollow\">Blue Nile<\/a>; 2)\u00a0Z Create Design on Etsy; 3)\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/betsiewing.com\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" rel=\"nofollow\">Betsie Ewing<\/a> via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.brit.co\/wedding-cocktail-stations\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" rel=\"nofollow\">Brit &amp; Co<\/a>; 4)\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/naomikamat.com\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" rel=\"nofollow\">Naomi Kamat Photography<\/a>; 5)\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.innocentistudio.com\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" rel=\"nofollow\">Innocenti Studio<\/a> via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.stylemepretty.com\/vault\/image\/1679102\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" rel=\"nofollow\">Style Me Pretty<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It\u2019s important that your wedding day is as personal and special for you and your partner as possible.
