Costumes

As this was a themed wedding we put together some information to help guests get into character

The easiest costume in the world: get a rectangle of some material, cut a hole in the middle, put your head through the hole so you have one half of the rectangle in front of you, the other behind you. Hey ho - instant tabard! Add a belt to keep it in place, add some jewellery, wear plain black underneath (not jeans if you can help it) and there you go. Highly recommended. Ladies: do you have a long floaty dress? Any elegant vaguely dark-ages looking jewellery? You may be in business already... Similarly, cleavage-enhancing tops are always a safe bet, especially if you're going for the "witch" or "wench" looks. Having said that, we're not sexist, tabards as described above are fine on ladies, as is full plate armour - hey, we're not going to argue. Jewellery can really help liven up your costume - big brooches on cloaks, large chunky necklaces, anklets, bracelets, etc. will all set you out as a Lord or Lady of style and taste. Anything medieval-looking will do, really. If you want to go buy something, Past Times has a pretty good selection of this kind of stuff, for example.
