Planning an alternative wedding can be so much fun! There are so many options now for amazing threads; cool-as-hell venues; unique, bespoke accessories; and wild, out-there food, cakes and florals to get your heart racing.

There's a myriad of options when it comes to your wedding style and theme, and how you choose to express your own individuality as a couple on the day.

Once you make the decision to start planning your alternative wedding, life can suddenly seem way more complicated, even if you refuse to conform to clichéd traditions.

You'll have to sort through a lot of options in the months to come in planning the wildest, coolest party of your dreams.
