Wedding Inspiration
by Josh Dyer
Planning a wedding can be a daunting task. There are so many different styles, themes, and elements to consider that even knowing where to begin can be a struggle. A wedding is such a personal experience, that you have probably been dreaming of since childhood. It’s important to do your research and explore exactly what your ‘imagined’ dream wedding will actually look like, no matter what style it may be. We have carefully curated several boards on Pinterest with wedding inspiration for every step of the planning process.
Though you may associate this custom more so with America, is it gaining in popularity here too. Less raucous than a ‘hen do’, a bridal shower provides the opportunity for older relatives to join in the celebrations beforehand as well. Not to say that a few drinks won’t be involved, brunch, wine tasting, cocktail making, and a low-key BBQ or garden party are great options to consider. Traditionally, bridal showers are an all-female affair, however ‘couple’s showers’ are becoming more common, giving all your close family and friends the chance to celebrate together.
How you ask your family and friends to become part of your wedding party has become a big deal. Gift boxes and bags filled with thoughtful and personalised presents have become a huge trend. These keepsakes may come in useful during the wedding planning and even afterwards, providing a cherished memento to remember the whole experience.
Obviously, the actual styling of your wedding is one of the biggest features you must decide upon. Rustic countryside style with plenty of floral textures. Chic opulence with touches of velvet and gold. Industrial minimalism softened with candlelight and copper. There are so many beautiful styles that can be achieved to suit every taste. This year is all about minimalism and textures, metallics, neon, greenery, acrylic and velvet. But as weddings are such a personal experience, you can make it completely your own, picking and choosing whatever elements appeal to you.
