When you are planning a wedding, it should come as no surprise that it is easy to become overwhelmed.
There are so many ideas, so many styles, and so much advice from the internet and magazines that it is easy to fall into the trap of choosing what you think you want, rather than what you actually want or would like on your big day.
So, how do you choose between the contemporary wedding style and the more traditional white wedding? Here are some simple tips to help you.
Look at Venues
The theme of your wedding will be evident in the venue you choose, so if you are stuck on whether you want something more modern or something that is traditional, you can start by looking at the wedding venue.
Do you and your partner prefer the venue that has modern features, such as minimalistic designs, sculptures, or is even integrated with tech? Or, do you swoon when you look at the traditional country manor, with the white flowers and water fountain? Deciphering which venue you prefer can help you decide on your theme, based solely on how you react during the viewing.
Look At Wedding Clothes
There are modern wedding clothes, such as tightly-fitting wedding dresses, or the traditional flowing wedding dress covered with lace and pearls.
The clothes you wear on your wedding can help to enhance the vibe you want to have, and if you and your partner aren’t sure on what style you want to wear, then your best option is to go to a wedding dress and groom rental shop and try on different clothing styles. Yes, this means you will be choosing your wedding day clothes together, but what a fun activity and a great way to bring you together to choose a theme!
Involve Family and Friends
It is always wise to talk to family and friends about your wedding day, more so in the planning stages when you are stuck and aren’t sure about the theme. Again, for brides and grooms to be, it can be worth taking some of your friends and family shopping to help you select the ideal outfit, but try to avoid falling into the trap of choosing a dress/suit that you hate, but that got the thumbs up from those who were shopping with you. You are aiming to get their opinion on your wedding, not for them to take over!
Consult Professionals
If you aren’t sure about the integrity of family and friends, or you simply don’t want to involve them in your big day to this extent, then it can be worth talking to a wedding day planner or professional. These experts are trained to help couples choose the ideal wedding day theme for them and are also great to have on hand when you are trying to pull a set theme or vibe off on a budget.
Remember, you want your wedding day to be perfect, and so choosing the right theme that matches you and your partner is crucial to a great day and happy memories.
