(BPT) - Your wedding day should be a day to remember, so it's best to spend a little more to get the very best. While there are many ways to plan a wedding, if you envision a ceremony and reception fit for royalty, you'll need to seek out high-end luxury brands that reflect true opulence.
Not sure where to start? Check out these five must-have aspects that will make your big day truly extravagant and luxurious.
1. A stunning venue
Picking a venue for your wedding can be a bit daunting. Of course, the venue you pick will depend on your theme, the number of guests and other details. However, don't settle for just any old place. Pick a location that will look as opulent as you should feel when walking down the aisle.
For those couples looking for a classic and timeless venue, check out historic locations like the Oheka Castle Hotel & Estate in Huntington, NY. This opulent New York Residence has several indoor spaces for your big day, including a grand ballroom, formal dining room and terrace room. The bride and groom will feel like royalty as the castle staff takes care of the entire event, including offering unforgettable entrees, desserts, drinks and photography.
2. Accessories
Wedding jewelry and accessories aren't just limited to rings. When planning your wedding, think about pieces that will complement your outfits, shine in your photos, and continue to wear long after you've said "I do."
Bvlgari offers an extensive collection of necklaces, bracelets, earrings and more for engagements and weddings. Both bride and groom can find stunning pieces for any style and personality. The wedding party can even find jewelry and accessories to celebrate the couple and have a beautiful reminder of the ceremony. Each piece can be personally engraved to add a special touch.
For a truly memorable wedding accessory, consider purchasing watches for both bride and groom. It will keep you on time on the big day and will be a lovely reminder (paired with your wedding bands, of course) to remind you of your wedding every time you use it.
