Sometimes it really is true that less is more. If you are a bride who favors simplicity, this could be the theme of your wedding. There are many great ways to design a wedding with a minimalist style.
The first thing to consider is location. If you prefer the minimalist look, then you will want to seek a wedding venue that fits with your aesthetics. Fancy cathedrals, castles, and opulent hotels will not be able to give you the sleek, modern look. Instead look for spaces that have clean lines and good bones, but not a lot of ornamentation. Some sites to consider are city lofts, modern art museums, and alternative galleries.
The trickiest part about designing a minimalist wedding is to make sure that it looks intentional. You want your space to look perfectly appointed, as opposed to looking unfinished. You almost have to choose each detail detail more carefully than you would if you were designing a wedding with a more lush style. When there are fewer elements, each one needs to hit the right note so that the whole effect is harmonious.
An easy way to coordinate your wedding is by choosing a signature color or colors to use. If you are trying for a minimalist look, either choose a muted color like espresso as your main hue, or go for one bold color like true red. Pair these colors with something crisp like white or subtle like cream. Avoid any colors that are overly feminine, such as pink, peach, or lilac. They are too difficult to use in a modern and streamlined way.
One of the other elements that really helps to create a tone for the wedding is the bride's ensemble. You will want to choose a dress that echoes the minimalist atmosphere of the venue; a frilly gown would look totally out of place in an urban loft. Look for a bridal gown with clean lines and few details. A beautiful silk charmeuse dress would be an ideal choice for a bride who likes garments that are close to the body. If you are more comfortable in a less clingy style, choose a simple A-line gown in a great fabric like silk mikado. When the fabric is high quality and the gown is well cut, you do not need embellishments on it.
To give your ensemble a polished look, the right accessories are key. Even when you are going for a minimalist effect, you will still want to have a few special pieces to finish off your attire. Crystal bridal jewelry is a great option, because you can achieve a cool and icy look with a very simple necklace or earrings. One beautiful crystal sparkling around your neck would be perfect. You can also look for bridal jewelry earrings created from crystal. A very chic look is a pair of long drop earrings with a very simple wedding gown.
When designing a minimalist wedding, look for centerpieces that adhere to your theme. One source of inspiration can be Asian design. The pared down look of a few branches with cherry blossoms or even tiny Bonsai trees on the tables would look very simple and elegant. Another idea is to use flowers like calla lilies, which are wonderfully streamlined.
A minimalist wedding should be low on frills and ornamentation, but high on style. If you carefully choose each element of your wedding design, you are sure to achieve a breathing effect.
