As we bid adieu to 2010 (official year of the celeb celebration), give your big day a shot of star power with these chic ideas.
Say it with a flower sculpture
Spell out your L-O-V-E with quirky floral topiary, perfect for backyard parties like Robbie Williams and Ayda Field's. The couple decorated their Beverly Hills garden with thousands of pink and cream roses, including a massive flower sculpture in the shape of the L-word.
Get him to make a statement
Your dress is the main event (obviously), but think of his outfit as the opening act to your walk down the aisle. Alicia Keys' man Swizz Beatz wowed guests in a retro-feel Tom Ford tux with a velvet bow-tie and white jacket. Extra credit: the purplish-pink of his shirt picked up to colours in her calla lily bouquet.
Throw a pre-party
Shake off any pre-wedding stress with a laid-back fete the night before - and if George Clooney will host, like he did for pals Emily Blunt and John Krasinski on the eve of their Italian nuptials, all the better! The couple and their star-studded cast of friends spent the night drinking, dancing and toasting onboard a Lake Como yacht. The best bit? How at ease they looked - he in a simple white T-shirt, she in a ponytail and sundress.
Sport some unique place names
Mixed in with all the pink details at Carrie Underwood's wedding to Canadian ice hockey player Mike Fisher was one touch just for the groom: escort cards bearing guests' seating assignments were pinned to ice hockey pucks.
Try a ring and a prayer
To honour the memory of their lost loved ones, TV presenter Kristy Gallacher and rugby-player husband Paul Sampson incorporated special pieces of jewellery into their wedding outfits. Kirsty had her grandmother's wedding ring sewn into the lining of her gown, while Paul wore his father's ring.
Do double barrel
Who says the great name-change dilemma has to rest solely on your shoulders? Take a page from dancing queen Camilla Dallerup and Hollyoaks star Kevin Sacre's book: the newlyweds now both answer to Sacre-Dallerup.
Remember something blue!
Follow Hilary Duff's lead: at her wedding to ice hockey pro Mike Comrie she wore blue lingerie. Simple, but effective.
Invite guests to bring a bottle
Stock your nascent wine cellar, like Piers Morgan and journalist Celia Walden did for the glitzy follow-up party in East Sussex to their private country wedding day in Oxfordshire. Meenouir Cheung
