Wedding Style: Simple Ideas to Shape Your Big Day
When you think about your wedding, the first picture that comes to mind is probably the overall look – the dress, the colours, the vibe. Getting that style right makes the whole day feel personal and memorable. Below you’ll find easy tips on how to pick a look that fits you, plus a quick guide to the most popular topics on our site.
Dress and Outfit Inspiration
Start with the bride’s dress. Ask yourself what story you want the gown to tell. Do you love classic silk, or does lace feel more "you"? Try on a few styles and notice how each one changes your posture and confidence. Don’t forget the details – a simple backless dress can be wow‑factor with the right jewellery.
For the groom, the tie‑or‑bowtie debate is still alive. If you want a modern edge, a slim tie in a subtle colour works well. A bowtie adds a touch of vintage charm. Match the groom’s accessories (cufflinks, shoes, pocket square) to the bride’s palette for a cohesive look.
Don’t overlook bridesmaids and groomsmen. Pick a colour that complements the main theme and let each person choose a style they love. This keeps everyone comfortable and still looks polished.
Décor and Theme Choices
Colour is the fastest way to set a mood. Soft pastels feel romantic, while deep emerald or navy gives a sophisticated vibe. Use the colour in floral arrangements, table linens, and even the invitations.
If you’re on a budget, DIY décor can be a game‑changer. Simple string lights, mason‑jar centrepieces, and hand‑painted signs add personality without breaking the bank. Just plan a timeline so you have enough time to assemble everything before the big day.
Venue style matters too. An industrial loft works well with metallic accents and sleek furniture, while a garden ceremony shines with wildflowers and natural wood. Let the venue guide your décor choices rather than trying to force a mismatched theme.
