Saying 'I Do' in Style: 7 Tips for Planning a Fashion-Forward Wedding
When style in your wedding is important to you, cohesiveness is key. With so many decisions to make, it can be overwhelming to figure out where to start. But if you’re looking to plan a fashionable wedding, there are some key things you can do to ensure your big day is as fashionable as it is memorable.
Define your Wedding Style
Before you start planning anything else, it’s important to define your wedding style. This will help guide all of your decisions, from your dress and venue to your décor and invitations. Start by thinking about your personal style and the overall vibe you want to create for your wedding. Are you drawn to classic elegance or modern minimalism? Do you want a rustic outdoor wedding or a glamorous city celebration? Once you have a clear vision of your style, it will be easier to make all of your wedding decisions. Still not sure, ask your wedding planner to help you define your vision.
Choose the Perfect Venue
Your wedding venue sets the tone for your entire celebration, so it’s important to choose a location that fits your style and personality. Whether you’re dreaming of a beachfront ceremony or a rooftop reception, there are countless venues to choose from. When considering a venue, think about the size of your guest list, the season, and the overall ambiance you want to create. It’s also important to consider the logistics, like parking and accessibility, as well as any restrictions or requirements the venue may have.
Create a color palette
When choosing your color palette, consider your wedding style, the season, and your personal preferences. Whether you want a bold and bright palette or a soft and romantic scheme, there are endless options to choose from. It’s also important to think about how your colors will be incorporated into your wedding, from your bridesmaid dresses and flowers to your table settings and invitations.
Plan your Décor

Select your Wedding Dress
Your wedding dress is the centerpiece of your bridal look, so it’s important to choose a gown that makes you feel confident and beautiful. When selecting your wedding dress, consider your personal style, body type, and wedding theme. Do you want a traditional ballgown or a sleek and modern silhouette? Are you drawn to intricate beading and lace or a clean and simple design? Once you have an idea of what you’re looking for, start trying on dresses to find the perfect one.
Choose your Wedding Party Attire
Bridesmaid dresses and groomsmen suits are important to the overall look, and as long as you consider your wedding style and color palette it’s also a great place to break the mold. You can opt for a uniform look or mix and match different styles or patterns to create a unique and personalized look. Choose attire that complements your wedding gown or suit and fits the overall vibe of your wedding, but don’t be shy about thinking outside of the box.
Design your Invitations
Your wedding invitations are the first impression your guests will have of your wedding, so it’s important to design them carefully. Consider your wedding style and color palette when selecting your invitations and think about any special details or wording you want to include. You can choose from a variety of paper types, fonts, and designs to create an invitation that reflects your personal style and sets the tone for your wedding.
