From your wedding stationery to your wedding cake you can follow the theme from start to fi nish. If you would prefer to have just a hint of London why not pick a key colour to guide your theme and accentuate it with your bouquet or wedding favours.

Choosing the right favour for your big day can be a little tricky as there is so much to choose from. Here are a few ideas whether you want a gift to keep or something unusual, hopefully we can inspire you.
