(Clockwise from top left) Twiggy was the iconic figure of Mod culture. She is the ideal inspiration for wedding hair and make up: Keep short hair simple with a sleek look; Long hair can be straightened and flowing free. Dramatic eyes are the key look for make up: White eyeshadow with bold black eyeliner and drawn- on lashes certainly make an impact. Keep the rest of the look natural to avoid looking overdone.

This gorgeous “Glass” dress from Pronuptia is something special. A figure- hugging shape, not for the faint hearted, and an appliqued retro design makes the most of those beautiful curves. The short skirt is a reflection of the sixties trend for tiny mini skirts. A great Mary Quant inspired dress for the daring bride.

The round, dangling earrings in this style are synonymous with Mod look. This Accessorize pair add a bolt of colour to a simple white look and the small crystals give a sparkling touch to any outfit. A dazzling finishing touch.

If you’re looking for something a little different to get you to the church on time, think about hiring a Vespa scooter. You can’t get much more Mod than this iconic motor. This 1966 Super Italian Vespa is available for hire from the Brighton- based company Vroom by the Sea. There are similar companies all over the UK that hire out scooters so you, or your groom, can travel in style. Don’t forget your helmet!

The Union Jack was the symbol of the mid sixties. These individual cakes by the Little Venice Cake Company fit this theme perfectly. With red, white and blue stripes or patriotic crown embellishments, they are the perfect choice to add that iconic look to your wedding day
