ELEVATE YOUR WEDDING DAY | Tips on wedding planning
Introduction
You’re planning your wedding day, you’re beyond excited and want to make it a day to remember.You’ve been to umpteen weddings in your friendship group and have seen so much gorgeousness that it would be easy to go over-the-top and fill your day with confused styling. If you’re struggling to see the wood for the trees but make your wedding truly instagramable and positively pinterest worthy, then we have some tips to make sure you hit the sweet spot!
Small Details Count
Don’t overlook those tiny details; continuity, care and attention throughout these really levels up the overall impact of the day. The sum of smaller parts, definitely add up to one big design statement so think big for your stationery, embroidery, accessories and tableware details.
Invest in florals
If you have got some room in the budget, you can never go wrong by putting into blooms. They are the drivers of your colour scheme, they add drama and texture, they connect elements of your day together (your boutique with the aisle flowers, your aisle flowers with your wedding breakfast displays) and are the perfect place to make a showstopper statement. This is the element for going big!
Keep it tight
This is the biggy! It might be tempting to throw the kitchen sink at your wedding styling but often it really is a case of “less is more” so try not to get carried away and pick your elements wisely. Opt for just elements that you really love and be mindful of how these fit together. Pick your colour scheme and stay within it’s tonal spectrum. This careful decision making and consideration is the secret to a truly cohesive aesthetic.
Luminate
The Ultimate atmosphere creator. There is an unexplainable magic that is created by the twinkling of fairy lights or swinging festoons, tables adorned with the golden glow of candle sticks or an aisle lined with glistening lanterns. Easily overlooked, the lighting on your day will be the secret “je nais sequois” to elevate the*feel* and ambience of your gorgeous gathering.
Fizz It Up
There is all manner of quirky thirst quenchers to pick from, but we will forever be fans of a glass of fizz. Sometimes, things are predictable because they are just a good choice and people pleaser.Choose coupe style glasses and a decorative garnish for extra elegance and class.
An Evening Look
If it is good enough for the royal family, it is good enough for us! Why not slip into a slinkier number, add some sparkle or rock a white mini dress because, after all, what bride doesn’t want TWO wedding dresses?!
