Five of the Most Unusual Weddings

Whether planning a big, lavish wedding or a smaller, intimate ceremony, most couples feel that it’s important to create lasting memories on their special day. The appearance of a bride, including the dress, bridal tiara and jewellery takes a great deal of planning and can be the most memorable aspect of the day. At Impostors Bridal Jewellery, we are all about giving our brides a unique and beautiful look, and we work with you to make sure you’re looking your very best. Our wide range of jewellery including bridal tiaras, necklaces, bags and clutches means you’ll be spoiled for choice. But choosing certain locations, themes and other features can also distinguish a wedding.

Here, we look at 5 of the more unusual weddings seen from around the world. Some of these wedding ideas are wacky, unusual and downright strange, but you have to admit it; they’re very original!

1. A Russian couple decided that it would be a good idea to get married while they - and their guests - rode their bicycles around the city streets. It’s never a bad time to get in shape, but this seems to be taking it to the extreme. Just imagine how difficult it would be to ride a bike while wearing a wedding dress!

2. A Chinese bride was married in a 200m long dress, setting a world record in the process. Married in front of a hotel in Guangzhou, the capital of the Guangdong Province, the dress train weighed almost 100kgs and was held up by about 50 people. Safe to say she’d need a great deal of space in her cupboard to store this dress!

3. An adventurous couple decided to get married while floating in zero gravity conditions in an aircraft that imitates the experience that people have had on the Moon. The bridal party floated for up to an hour before the groom and bride, who handed over 15000 dollars for the experience, said ‘I do’.

4. Another world record was broken when a bride decided that she would have no less than 110 bridesmaids at her wedding in Ohio, USA. The bride, who was a dance instructor, asked all her students to walk her down the aisle. Each bridesmaid chose their own dress and carried a single rose on the day.

5. Every couple remembers the place they first met, and what better way to tie the knot than at the place you first set eyes on your loved one? For one couple, Rockie Graham and Dave Hart, this place happened to be a local garbage dump. But this didn’t stop them celebrating their love with 250 of their friends. What could be more romantic!

As you can see, people go to great lengths to ensure their special day is not forgotten. But if you are looking for a more traditional ceremony, visit Impostors and check out our gorgeous range of bridal tiaras, bags and clutches and other accessories.

Fur Wraps for Brides: Perfect For A Winter Wedding!

Fur coats are a timeless, classic cover up option for winter brides with a penchant for all things vintage. They are the perfect blend of cosy, practical and oh so glamorous! For those of you (like myself) who wouldn’t want to wear real fur, there is a huge variety of realistic faux fur options available in all shades and styles. And let’s not forget the vintage, film star appeal of a fur stole wrapped over the shoulders, as modelled perfectly by the range at Impostors Bridal Jewellery.

I think it’s important for brides having a winter wedding to consider a warm cover up option. Of course you’ll want to show off your beautiful gown in all it’s glory throughout the day and into the evening, but a fur cover up can be especially useful for those romantic photos of the two of you together outside in the cold, maybe even amidst the falling snow. (Think of the ‘snuggling’ shots!)

After all, you don’t want to be shivering, cold, damp and grumpy on your wedding day! A fur coat or stole is a chic way to keep you nice and warm while still looking gorgeous. And why not co-ordinate the bridal party’s cosy fur cover ups? A colour that compliments your bridesmaids dresses and also complements your wedding day look would be a very glamorous look.

Make sure you keep warm on your dreamy winter wedding day!

Bridal Parasols: Style and Class made for each other

The average cost of a wedding in 2011 was $49,202, according to Wedding Guide. It’s a small price to pay for the most special day of your life, of course, but it’s still a pretty hefty expense at a time when you’re also probably thinking about buying a new home, starting a family and a lot of other things. Still, nobody wants to compromise on the celebration, especially when it comes to the latest bridal styles.

Parasols have been a popular wedding trend since 2009. They originally started off at beach weddings, but they’ve since become popular for weddings of all kinds. Parasols give a classy vintage look to an outfit and make a stylish alternative to a bouquet. Unlike a bouquet, they also give a lasting reminder of the big day, and they’re practical too; many modern bridal parasols are waterproof,  and if it’s a hot sunny day, a they can help keep you cool.

Since 1990, Impostors Bridal Jewellery has been offering stylish but affordable wedding accessories from our Melbourne store and now also online. We’ve been featured in high-end magazines like Cosmopolitan and Marie Claire as well as sponsoring Miss Universe Australia. In addition to a full range of exquisite jewellery, evening bags and guest books, Impostors also carries a stunning range of lace parasols in classic white, elegant ivory or black. 

At an affordable price of $49.95, all the bridesmaids can carry matching parasols along with the bride. These parasols are not only fashionable and practical but also make great props for wedding photos. And if you want an idea to save money but add style, parasols make great wedding favors for your guests. For a real touch of Victorian class, why not pair an ivory parasol with a soft fur wrap in a matching shade. Impostors have a large selection of affordable wraps in high quality faux fur.  Let the staff at Impostors help you put all the pieces together for your dream day!

Choosing the Perfect Bag or Clutch for Your Wedding

While wedding accessories are important for putting the final touches on your special day, it’s the bridal accessories like the bridal bags and clutches that are the true icing on the cake. After all, you spent hours, days, maybe even months picking out the perfect wedding dress. You should certainly finish off your beautiful look with a bridal purse that suits!

When looking for a bridal handbag, the first thing you will want to consider is color. If you’re wearing a white dress, you’ll most likely want a white evening bag. However, you can also choose a bag that matches your accessories. For example, you might choose a silver bridal bag or clutch to match your beading or jewellery. Be sure to think about size as well since you will need something to carry all your essentials without getting in the way.

You may also choose to purchase a bag for your bridesmaids.  Evening bags come in all sorts of colors. Many times you can find a purse in a color that complements your bridesmaid’s dress or even matches.  Bags and clutches are becoming the preferred item over holding flowers for bridesmaids. A bag is an item that can be used again and always looks stylish.
