Wedding Style 

Your wedding style is the overall aesthetic of your day, incorporating the look and feel you want to achieve. Whether you set out to give it a style or not, all weddings have a style. From a classic style, to boho, modern or glamorous, each of these are broad wedding styles. Certain colour palettes will lend themselves to a particular style, blush and white will steer you down a timeless look, whilst bold terracotta and rust will complement a bohemian style. 

The little details you include in your day will also determine your overall style even down to your seating choices. Minimal ghost chairs are perfect for a modern style, whilst chiavalri chairs will add to an elegant style.

Wedding Theme 

Whilst every wedding will have a specific style, not all weddings will have a theme, unless you specially choose one. Wedding theme will see you diving deeper into specifics such as a nautical theme, Christmas theme or festival theme. Having a specific theme isn’t necessary but it is a great way to add a unique touch to your celebration. A theme is the perfect opportunity to share your personality as a couple with your guests and incorporate fun and unique details.
