Answers:

Mostly a) You're a bit of a city girl at heart, never happier than when you can hear the noise of traffic and see the bright lights. You'd probably suit a wedding held in a smart restaurant or hotel in town - and a long slinky dress (that may not be white or cream either). Have a look at this city wedding for inspiration

Mostly b) You're quite a retro individual. You make your own fashion, picking out what you want from current trends to suit you. Think about having a vintage style wedding day - maybe with an original vintage wedding dress in a 1950's style.

Mostly c) The idea of a Downton Abbey style wedding is your dream. You loved Kate Middleton's dress. Think about getting married in a stately home - and having an evening cocktail party for your reception

Mostly d) You're never happier than when you feel the wind in your hair and the fresh air on your face. You'd suit a country style wedding in a marquee or possibly a festival style day

Mostly e) Forget about wearing a short wedding gown. You're going to want a long sweeping veil, a long trailing wedding gown and old fashioned roses. Getting married in a castle would be perfect for you
