From Boho to Traditional: Exploring Different Wedding Styles and How to Choose the Right One for You
Are you engaged and feeling overwhelmed by the vast range of wedding styles out there? From boho to traditional, rustic to modern, the choices are endless! But don't panic, choosing the right style for you and your partner can be a fun and exciting process. In this blog post, we'll explore different wedding styles and provide tips on how to choose the right one for you - all while having a little bit of fun along the way.
Boho Wedding Style
Boho weddings are all about the whimsical and carefree vibe. Think dreamy outdoor settings on the Northern Rivers, lots of greenery, and natural elements like wood and lace. Boho brides often choose flowy, bohemian-inspired gowns, and the wedding party dresses in earthy tones. The focus is on creating an intimate and relaxed atmosphere where guests can let their hair down and enjoy the celebrations. Which we love!
Rustic Wedding Style
Rustic weddings are all about celebrating the beauty of the great outdoors. They often take place in a barn, farm, or other rustic venue and feature elements like burlap, twine, and mason jars. Rustic brides often opt for simple, elegant dresses, and the wedding party dresses in muted tones like beige or grey. The focus is on creating a cosy and welcoming atmosphere, where guests feel right at home. My tip for location? The Acre Boomerang Farm in Mudgeeraba!
Traditional Wedding Style
The traditional wedding style is classic and timeless, featuring elegant and formal attire, sophisticated venues, and traditional elements like floral arrangements and formal sit-down meals. Picture: the traditional white bridal gown, coordinated wedding party dresses, and a sophisticated atmosphere, where the bubbles are flowing well into the evening.
Modern Wedding Style
Modern weddings are all about sleek, minimalist designs and a focus on contemporary aesthetics. They often feature simple and understated décor, with pops of bold colours or metallic accents. Modern brides often choose sleek and stylish gowns, and the wedding party dresses in modern, fashion-forward styles. Think stylish, sophisticated, fresh and contemporary! Rooftop reception, anyone?
Tips for Choosing the Right Wedding Style
Now that you know some of the different wedding styles out there, let's talk about how to choose the right one for you and your partner.
Consider Your Personalities
Your wedding day should reflect your unique personalities, so choose a style that feels authentic to you. Are you and your partner laid back and bohemian? Then a boho wedding might be the perfect fit. If you're more formal and traditional, a classic wedding style might be more your speed. Choose your mood!
Consider Your Venue
The venue you choose can also plays a huge part in the style of your wedding. Are you thinking of a rustic venue? Then a relaxed barn environment in Byron might be the vibe so you and your guests can let your hair down? Or! Are you and our partner into a modern wedding style, with a sleek, champagne fuelled soirée at a swanky CBD hotel? The venue can be a game changer!
Consider Your Budget
Obviously, your budget can also play a role in the wedding style you choose. Some styles, like boho and rustic, can be more budget-friendly, as they often feature natural and DIY elements. Other styles, like traditional and modern, can be more expensive, as they may require more formal attire and décor.
Consider Your Guests
Let’s not forget the guests here! Are they a fun-loving, bohemian bunch who would feel most at home in a relaxed, boho atmosphere a la Byron Bay? Or are they a formal and sophisticated crowd who would appreciate a traditional wedding style (hello, Versace Gold Coast)? Ultimately, your wedding day should be a reflection of you and your partner, but it's also important to make sure your guests feel comfortable and included. Everyone is coming to celebrate, after all!
