If you embrace the ‘less is more’ ethos, that doesn’t have to change for your wedding. Bringing elegance and simplicity to your day will add a modern and minimalist feel. Think neutral tones, organic shapes and textures, delicate florals and a refined and ethereal look.
We love this alternative approach to wedding planning with clean lines and understated elements creating visual beauty and an artistic touch. If you’re thinking of going less is more, read on for how to approach your wedding plans…

1. Keep your colour palette simple
One of the main factors of a minimalist wedding is a well considered colour palette. Consider clean shades of white, grey, green, and soft pastels. Your colour choices will set the tone for everything you chose and the overall look and feel of the day. With a simple colour palette you can create a day that is graceful and timeless.
2. Choose the best quality you can afford
With a pared back look you should keep the quality of your wedding day essentials such as table linen and glassware at a high standard, these will elevate your minimalist aesthetic.
3. Incorporate modern decor items
The decor items that you include will make your wedding ceremony and reception feel modern and contemporary. Items such as signage, floral plinths, lighting and table decor will all add to the overall look and give a stylish appeal.

4. Choose your attire carefully
To keep in line with your overall look, a simple wedding dress that really speaks for itself is a great option. High quality fabrics such as silk or satin will give you an elegant finish. Keep accessories on the plainer side with organically shaped elements.
5. Add the perfect florals
Some brides favour an all green look, some adore the appearance of single stem roses; whatever your preference, find the perfect florist who will help bring your ideas to life.
6. Don’t forget to add personality
Just because you have chosen a simple day doesn’t mean you can’t add personality throughout. Sprinkle little hints of your personality throughout the day for a really memorable occasion.
