Newly engaged over the holidays? Congratulations! With the New Year in full swing you are more than likely eager to begin planning your new beginning! So, where do you start?
While you may be excited with all of the decisions to come, the easiest way to take the first step in planning the wedding of your dreams is to create a theme!
Your special day is all about you and your unique bond with your partner! Use your story and your interests to help set the tone for your event by picking a theme that will speak to your style and put your individuality front and center!
Wedding styles are as diverse as each bride and groom, so your options are endless!
Here are some of the different types of wedding styles to consider:
1. Casual or Backyard wedding: Think laid-back and intimate! This style is usually located outdoors or at home and often incorporate a DIY or rustic feel. Decorations might include mason jars, wildflowers and handmade signs.
2. Beach wedding: A beach wedding is perfect for the couple that can be frequently found at the oceanfront or in the water. These celebrations can range from barefoot and casual to more formal and often feature tropical-inspired decor and cuisine.
3. Rustic barn wedding: Rustic barn weddings are typically quaint and charming! These celebrations are down-to-earth with such decorations as burlap, twinkle lights and mason jars.
4. Formal ballroom wedding: For the prince or princess, or the couples with a flare for the extravagant, a ballroom wedding might be the perfect choice. These celebrations are often held in elegant venues such as hotels or country clubs, where formal attire is usually a must, and guests might expect a sit-down dinner and a dance floor.
5. Destination wedding: For couples who share a passion for adventure and culture, a destination wedding is the perfect place to exchange your 'I do's!' These celebrations can take place anywhere, from a tropical island to a European castle, and often involve travel for guests.
