When planning your big day, choosing the right details can make all the difference. Here are some pro tips on curating your wedding details to match your vibe and create a stunning, cohesive look for your celebration.
1. Curate Your Theme/Style Think about the vibe you want for your wedding day. Whether you’re going for a romantic, modern, or boho feel, it’s important to choose 3-4 colors that will set the tone. Start by picking at least two neutral tones, like off-white, beige, or taupe. These neutral shades will give you a timeless and elegant base.
2. Use Colors You Love Once you have your neutrals, choose colors you love to complement them. These colors should be reflected in your bridesmaids’ dresses, men’s ties, florals, and other decor pieces. Avoid colors that are too vibrant or harsh, as they can overwhelm the photos and feel less elegant. Opt for softer tones that add warmth and sophistication without being too bold.
3. Keep the Vibe Consistent As you pick details, make sure they all stay within the theme you’ve curated. If you’re going for a boho vibe, think natural textures, soft florals, and flowing fabrics. Macramé backdrops, dried florals, and wooden accents are perfect for this style, helping everything feel connected. Keeping things consistent ensures your wedding flows effortlessly from one moment to the next.
4. Pick Pieces Intentionally Be intentional with the pieces you choose. Weddings can be expensive, so spend your money wisely! Invest in the items that matter most, like florals and table decor, and check out my Floral blog for tips on choosing florals that can save you money. It’s all about making the most of your budget while still achieving the look you want.
5. Coordinate Your Jewelry with Your Dress When it comes to jewelry, make sure it complements your dress. For a low neckline, opt for a simple necklace that doesn’t overwhelm. If you’re wearing your hair down, go with earrings that won’t get tangled in your hair but still add a touch of elegance.
6. Sprinkle Details Throughout It’s the small details that really make your wedding feel magical. Think about how you can sprinkle touches throughout the day—lanterns with automatic electric candles for evening lighting, sheer table cloth runners down the center of your tables, and tall candlesticks in accent colors like gold. Even white dishes and serveware can elevate the look! Here’s a quick inspo board to check out for that
7. Have Extras on Hand When choosing decor, it’s a good idea to get a few extras of everything. You never know when something might break, or you’ll end up with an extra table or two. Having extra centerpieces or decor on hand means you won’t have to stress about running short on the day.
When it comes to wedding details, simplicity is often the key to creating a timeless and elegant vibe. Here are some tips on how to keep things simple yet beautiful, starting with your invitations and moving through all your key accents.
1. Invitations with Thinner Print Choosing invitations with thinner fonts and subtle, elegant text can make a huge difference. Avoid thick, bold lettering that feels too overpowering. Instead, go for soft, delicate script or classic serif fonts that give a refined and polished look. It sets the tone for your wedding and leaves a lasting impression without being overwhelming.
2. Soft Ribbons for Flat-Lays When you’re styling your details for flat-lay photos, soft ribbons that match your wedding colors can tie everything together (literally!). They add a gentle, romantic touch to your invitation suite and other small details like rings or special jewelry. Think chiffon or silk ribbons in shades that complement your theme, blending perfectly with the overall aesthetic of your day.
3. Choose Lightweight Accents When it comes to accents like table decor, linens, or floral arrangements, less is more. Avoid overly heavy materials or bulky items. Instead, opt for lightweight, airy elements that enhance the look without stealing the show. Thin candlesticks, sheer fabrics, and light florals all contribute to a simple, ethereal feel that keeps the focus on the love and joy of the day.
Simplicity doesn’t mean boring—it’s about choosing pieces that are intentional and subtle while creating a lasting impact. Check out some of my favorite simple wedding details from past weddings!
