Marriage is such an important tradition. It features in all cultures across the world. It is probably one of the most important and life changing things that we ever do. It is celebrated in so many diverse ways around the globe, but celebrations mean really pushing the boat out, doing it in style, and mostly being aspirational.

Take, for example, the flowing white dress and veil, or the top hat and tails, as outfits of preference for these occasions. This is not your usual run of the mill garb, and it could be said that the flamboyance of the whole wedding ceremony and wedding breakfast are all a little ostentatious, aspirational even. But there is certainly nothing wrong with that. It is all about doing the best and putting on the best show for the bride and groom as well as the guests. It is the guests who have come bearing wedding gifts and jolly pricey wedding gifts at that. The least you can do when organising the wedding is to give them a good performance, an excellent spread of food and plenty of chances to toast the bride and groom. This means that the guest must find really fine wedding gifts, that may be aspirational even, and something that the bride and groom can also show off or boast about in the years to come.

You could give them the chance to pose again with a Madison Luxury Tea and Wine Basket as an imaginative wedding gift. This traditional style wicker picnic hamper provides everything a romantic couple need for a private picnic for two, and all quality stuff too, with stainless steel cutlery, china plates, cotton serviettes, wine glasses and pure 100% wool picnic blanket and plenty of wine related paraphernalia required to open, pour and enjoy a drop of vino. What a fabulous wedding gift that can be enjoyed again and again, as the loving couple pretends to be The Duke and Duchess of Somewhere Nice. There are enough bits and pieces for a picnic for 4, so they could always invite another couple along to enjoy an old fashioned day out.

A great accompaniment and ideal wedding gifts for the bride and groom to enjoy are luxury personalised bottles of champagne, which they can pop open to start off their picnic in truly aspirational fashion. Let them make believe for a while, before they return to reality. That's what weddings are all about, and so are the wedding gifts that they receive. This bottle of bubbly is personalised with a lovely message to them from you, printed on a decorative label, so let's hope they remember to take the ice bucket with them to cool this wedding gift on this picnic.

After the wedding ceremony and party celebrations are over, the loving couple will flit away to a secret location to enjoy their own little piece of heaven. The worst thing that could possibly happen would be for them to lose their luggage. Imagine spending two weeks without your toothbrush, hair dryer and deodorant. It does not conjure up the ideal romantic image of a successful honeymoon. A matching pair of Bride and Groom Luggage labels will ensure that the luggage finds its way to the correct place, and will be easily picked out of the millions of other suitcases floating round and round on the airport luggage carousel, waiting to be claimed. These lovely and thoughtful wedding gifts are produced in a stunning silver colour with address cover and the words 'Bride' and 'Groom' embossed on the outside. The happy couple will be sure to get VIP treatment when these labels are noticed at the check-in desk. They may even get up-graded to first class because of these wedding gifts, and you don't get much more aspirational than that.

Your wedding gifts to them could have them flying high in elegant style, with a balloon flight with a difference. First of all, they get to help to inflate the enormous balloon. While they are up there in the vast sky enjoying the view and each other's company, they will be given a champagne toast. This is a truly aspirational wedding gift, allowing them to put on the airs and graces only permitted by nobility. Let them dream a little while romance is still in the air. They will soon have to come down to earth, but what's the hurry. Make your choice of wedding gift be one that elevates the spirit of the newlyweds and gives them the chance to imagine and experience the finer things in life. After all, just look at the fabulous performance, food and entertainment they have gone to the trouble to lay on for you. The least you can do is treat them like celebrities, just for the day.
