Your wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime celebration, and deciding on your wedding style is one of the most exciting and creative parts of your planning journey. Your wedding aesthetic sets the tone for every detail of your big day, from your invitations to your floral arrangements, creating a cohesive and unforgettable experience for you and your guests. Whether you're envisioning a countryside marquee wedding or a design-led celebration in a Manor house, your wedding style should be uniquely yours and reflect your personality and wedding vision. 

As expert UK wedding planners and designers, we are here to share with you our top tips and insider advice so you have a wedding aesthetic that you will still love in years to come. 

Find Your Inspiration

Start by thinking about your wedding by looking at the big picture. What resonates or inspires you as a couple? Do you love travel, fashion, history, or interior design - create a mood board of places you’ve been that stands out to you - was it a restaurant, hotel, shop, museum, exhibition or cafe that created the perfect atmosphere through design? 

Start having fun on Pinterest and create mood boards of colours and styles that you are both attracted to. What catches your eye, is it the florals, typography, backdrops or textures? Once you spend time finding what you are drawn to, it becomes easier to determine if your wedding style is leaning towards minimalism, modern designs, romantic understated luxury or bold and colourful vibes.

Define Your Priorities

Consider the elements that matter most to you that will make up your wedding design. Is it the setting, the table decor, florals or the interior colours at your venue? For many couples, the setting itself becomes one of the most prominent focal points. If you want a luxury, opulent sophisticated black tie event, then your venue needs to be a castle, manor house or high-end hotel to compliment your wedding style. 

For couples who want to create a bespoke wedding design from scratch and choose every element, we suggest a marquee wedding as it offers endless possibilities for customisation, allowing you to design a space that reflects you entirely. As experienced marquee wedding planners we know exactly how to deliver elegant, luxury marquee weddings that are full of style and personality. 

Design-Led Approach

For a truly cohesive wedding style, take a design-led approach to your wedding planning from the very start. As soon as you think about working with a wedding stationer or start trying on wedding dresses - you need to have your wedding vision in mind before buying anything. If you are leaning towards an ultra-modern and minimalistic wedding style, then this needs to be reflected in the choices you make like a chic outfit and modern stylish invitations. 

Start by choosing a core colour palette and build on it with complementary tones and textures. 

Incorporate Personal Touches

You may want to include a few sentimental decor items or photos in your wedding or base your whole wedding theme on a shared hobby, holiday, or shared love. 

Personal touches like hand-calligraphed menus or bespoke signage, can also elevate your aesthetic and make your day truly unique.

Ultimately your wedding style should feel authentic to you. While trends can be a great source of inspiration, don’t be afraid to create a look that is bespoke to you. If you find it a challenge to create new concepts or designs you haven’t seen anywhere else - that’s where working with a wedding designer comes in!
