The theme can extend to dress and decor and can be simplified (or modernised) by simply quoting romantic song lyrics too.
- French cuisine and ‘Boule’ – Go entirely French, with an outdoor setting, serving canapé’s and French champagne and organise your guests into teams to play ‘Boule’.

- Vintage weddings – These are popular and very romantic. The Bride arrives in a vintage car, Beautiful flowers, timeless decor, beautiful scrolls for wedding invitations, old miniature penny farthing bicycles and bird cages for table centrepieces.
