Everyone was excited about the wedding of Sir Paul McCartney and Ms Nancy Shevell, and there has been much speculation about whether they had an original and outlandish wedding, or whether they had chosen the traditional route.

These days with so much emphasis on being original and finding ways to express your individual style, unusual wedding favours are becoming more sought after.

A wedding is an event that is larger than life for many people; of course it is the most important day for the bride and the groom but there are four other people for whom this day is equally important and they are the parents of the bride and the groom. On the wedding day there are two people who are in limelight because of their dresses, the bride itself and then the mother of the bride. It is equally important for the mother of the bride to wear something stunning, fabulous and stylish.

A wedding is a special occasion for a couple. It’s obviously special for the bride where she worries about her dress and she wants her wedding to be exactly like the one she’s already dreamed of. But has anyone ever stopped to think about the groom? It’s an important day for him too. He picks out his tuxedo and gives up bachelorhood for a life in holy matrimony with the woman he loves.
