April 20, 2020

finding your wedding style Your wedding is a representation of you as a couple. Finding your wedding style shouldn’t be daunting! It is a highlight in your love story and you should incorporate those details. A few different ways to find your wedding style would be to look around your house and see how you typically decorate. Think about some of your favorite places and things to do, think about your personalities and what your love story looks like.

What are some common wedding styles?

Classic This is for the more traditional couple who likes elegance and luxury. Think white, black, blush, and other soft romantic colors. Certainly you will see lace, candles, rose petals, floral centerpieces, fireplace floral installations, simple timeless gowns, black tuxedos or suits. Boho This wedding style is for the earthy couple with a hint of whimsy. Undoubtedly think natural earth and jewel-tone colors. You will see macramé, terracotta, wood, pampas grass, succulents, unique seating displays, wild bouquets, and textured tablescapes. For attire, you will see flowy lace or chiffon gowns, possible sleeves, flower crowns, and for menswear, you can go for a more casual look with suspenders and khakis or go for an earth tone or grey suit. Rustic This is for the country loving couple. Think more casual and laid back. You will see lots of wood elements, crates, baby’s breath, wildflowers, lace, mason jars, chalkboard signs, burlap, and comfort desserts or favors (think pie bars, donut walls, caramel apples).  Specifically the attire will be more casual and comfortable and some may even wear some boots. Whimsical This is for the unique fun-loving couple full of personality. Obviously think bright colors and creative design elements. When it comes to Whimsy you will see unexpected fun things like balloons, streamers, themes, candy bars, food trucks, games, personalization, painted invitation suites, mix and match gowns, bow ties, caricaturists, and more. The fun thing about being whimsical is there really are no rules. Modern This is for the chic minimalist couple. Think black and white sometimes surprisingly with pops of color. However you will see an understated elegance with clean lines, simple but unique signage and invitation suites, acrylic seating display or wall, metals, unique food stations, custom cocktails, neon signs, lounge, fashionable attire. Al Fresco Indeed this is for couples who love outdoor gatherings and vineyards.  Of course you will think white, green and soft colors. You will see outdoor lounges, lots of greenery and flowers, soft flowy draping, bistro or fairy lights, personalized table settings, ripped edge menus and invitation suites, wax seals, fruit, milk glass, taper candles, soft flowing gowns, and light-colored suits. Certainly once you’ve narrowed down some key words like Romantic, Whimsical, Elegant, Unique, Fun, etc. Then you can begin looking for design inspiration to find your wedding style. Your wedding style may be a mix of different styles and that’s okay too because it’s about who YOU are as a couple.
