Themed weddings – how extreme would you go?
Not so long
ago I read an article about a couple called Angela Ayrton and Gary Kerley who
decided to get married dressed as characters from the film Shrek.
Now I know
this is quite an unusual ceremony and not the sort of thing you see in most
wedding photography, but according to one expert, many people like to express
themselves by doing something a little different when they tie the knot.
Helen
Webster, editor at Perfect Wedding magazine, said couples want to provide a
celebration that guests will remember.
Although
this may not be quite as extreme as getting dolled up in fancy dress and
putting green paint on your face to resemble an ogre, the wedding venue can
play a big part in their decisions.
"For
example if someone has a very medieval venue they might opt for a more medieval
theme," she explained.
To me, this
seems like a much nicer way of adding an individual touch to the occasion and
if couples give some thought to the type of flowers, music and decorations they
have, they can make the day unique without going too far.
