In vein we have struggled in our mission to locate him in order to start our very own love story as deep and true as that shared by Mr Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet.

This tale is full of all kinds of romances - new and old - and there are many, many reasons why we think a Pride and Prejudice themed wedding sounds like a totally romantic plan.

Check it out...

PRIDE AND PREJUDICE: INVITATIONS

No one ever seems to write letters anymore, do they? I think it’s fair to say it's rare for any of us to pick up a pen and a scrap of paper and write long, love-filled letters to a partner anymore. But, this classic invitation brings back all of that love in one go - and that’s the reason we love it so much.

PRIDE AND PREJUDICE: CLOTHING (FOR HER)

Taking inspiration from a 19th century book doesn’t mean you suddenly have to kiss goodbye to style and to any kind of flesh being on show. Here are some modern, elegant dresses that still maintain aspects of our favorite P&P girls.

PRIDE AND PREJUDICE: CLOTHING (FOR HIM)

Who couldn’t love a man who looked like that?

PRIDE AND PREJUDICE: HAIR

A P&P wedding hairstyle cannot be slick and flawless, but it also can’t be wild and untamed. An up-do would work best, and throwing in some curls always makes for great volume and, ultimately, amazing photographs.

PRIDE AND PREJUDICE: HAIR ACCESSORIES

This beautiful hair accessory is almost identical to the one worn by Elizabeth when she attends Mr Bingley’s ball. They’re still simple, but add a little princess quality to your appearance.

PRIDE AND PREJUDICE: NAILS

We just can’t stop looking at these.

PRIDE AND PREJUDICE: MAKE-UP

Keep it simple. Keep it natural. Think: what would Elizabeth do?

PRIDE AND PREJUDICE: JEWELLERY

There’s just so much to choose from - and they’re all equally as intricate, so good luck choosing between them!

PRIDE AND PREJUDICE: TIARA

Because every woman should be able to feel like a princess every once in a while.

PRIDE AND PREJUDICE: PRESENTING THE WEDDINGS RINGS

If we’re following the theme accurately, then we have to think of some uber romantic way to present the rings that’s up to Mr Darcy’s standards. I think we just found it!

Words… Words everywhere!

PRIDE AND PREJUDICE: CANDLES

By the time we leave this wedding, we’ll have basically read the whole book.

PRIDE AND PREJUDICE: BUNTING

If you’re fed up of seeing the book cut up into little pieces and strategically placed around the venue, here’s an alternative. If, on the other hand, you could never get enough of Austen’s words, here’s some more!

PRIDE AND PREJUDICE: WEDDING ALBUM

Photographs are great, as are the memories, but this wonderful photo album would combine those two things and provide the perfect way to remember your very special day for many, many years to come.
