In 500 words or less, tell us about your wedding. We are interested in the personalised details, emotional moments, creative elements and stylish colour themes or concepts.

Creativity and style is not dependent on the amount of money you have spent.

Feel free to provide the details in bullet point form or descriptive paragraphs. Your writing style is not important, as we simply want to gain an overview of your day. List your venue/location, dress designer, photographer and event manager/decorator (if relevant), as well as a list of the 'bits and pieces' that you think would feature in your "real details" page.

Please include photos on CD/DVD are fine. If you would like your photos returned, please enclose a stamped, self addressed envelope.

Don't forget to include your names, address, phone number and email address.

If the Urban Wedding team are interested in speaking with you further, we will contact you.
