We see tons of remarkable weddings all the time, from the most glamorous, over the top aesthetics (think building an actual venue from the ground up) to the subtlest and most intimate (like a restaurant wedding with just thirty guests). Each have their own character, and significance! The theme and details that go into your wedding is a reflection of your journey as a couple and that’s what makes it so special.
While there are so many kinds of styles and themes you can come up with, there are a couple of looks and ideas that our team would love to see more of. We’ve always been inspired by the wedding stories we get to share and these ideas come from our personal interests and what we feel might resonate with you, too. So, here’s a quick roundup of wedding ideas and tips from the Bride and Breakfast team for your consideration and inspiration!
Head of Content Pia wants to see more vibrant and bold color play that deviates from the famous minimalist styling. “Imagine—a mix of oranges, yellows, pinks, and greens, and finding the balance of fun, risk, and of course, elegance. It will be challenging, but when a couple pulls it off correctly, their wedding will be iconic! We featured a wedding held in Rome with this type of aesthetic and it’s beautiful,” says Pia.
Social Media Manager Camille wants to see more zero-waste weddings (or at least, low-waste) and a more mindful and intentional approach to planning your special day. “I’d love to see more brides consider renting or thrifting a wedding gown. You can also go for compostable decoration options like dried flowers, foliage, or paper decorations. Using natural plants and flowers is also an option which guests can take home,” says Camille.
For those who love storybooks and fairytales like I do, I want to see couples go on a fantastical path with their weddings. I remember a wedding feature from a few years ago where there were real fruits hanging from the ceiling and tree installations all around the venue to simulate an enchanted forest. It would be so much fun to see a touch of magic, whimsy, and storybook charm for your special day! A real life happily ever after!
Art Director Mary wants to see more vintage-inspired classics! Think drapes, oversized or dainty ribbons for your dress, and pearls with artistic arrangements.
Content Writer Kyla would love to see more micro destination weddings. “I think there’s something so charming and nice about celebrating in a special place with just the closest people to you. Plus, there’s no pressure to entertain a large crowd,” Kyla says.
