One of the very first things you must decide upon is the style of wedding you plan to have. The style of wedding will permeate every nook and cranny of the entire wedding planning process. Selecting your style is a creative process and should heavily involve your imagination and tastes.
Very often people will let themselves be persuaded by others and will not allow themselves to actually put on the wedding they really want to. They are afraid someone will not like their ideas such as having the wedding in a non-traditional location. Or using colors that are outside the pastel family. They become so worried about what others will think that they end up putting on the wedding of other people's dreams and not their own.
One of the first decisions to be made is the wedding location. You have the option of a formal setting such as a church or a more casual setting such as a garden. Besides your personal tastes things such as weather and the time of the year may make the decision a more obvious one. But keep in mind even a wedding held in a church can be decorated in such a way as to give it that casual feel. Again you need to generate the look that you envisioned.
Next you need to focus on your personal style. What kind of person are you? Are you whimsical and fun like a beach or more conservative and stylish. Do you like traditional or are you more contemporary? This will decide everything from the menu to the music that gets played. By incorporating your personal style into every detail of your wedding it will come off as a coordinated "event" that your guests will remember for years to come.
I am going to talk about five styles in detail that may help you find that perfect style. As you read see which most closely epitomizes your personal style. Also keep in mind all the planning and details that you will need to incorporate to achieve the desired effect. And of course consider the costs.
* Garden style-if you plan to get married in the summer This is an easy choice. It is a very versatile style because almost any location with beautiful landscaping is suitable. You can have an open and airy ceremony with say an arch decorated with flowers and / or climbing vines. Or you can go all the way and have a tent set up with tables and a dance floor for your guest's enjoyment.
* Of course probably the most enduring of wedding styles is the classic style. A church decorated with gorgeous pew bows and beautiful flower arrangements that run up and down the altar. This is followed by a reception lit up with your colors shown in the many decorations you chose.
* A beach theme has been and still is all the rage. Whether you choose it as a destination wedding or you plan one in you own backyard it is still a very impressive style. Regardless of location there are tons of things out there to give your wedding that beach look.
* Perhaps you are one of those that wants to be married in an unusual place. Some of these are legendary and will sometimes even be featured on the evening news. Inside a McDonald's, on the side of cliff, just about anywhere where two people can fit can be used as a wedding location.
* Or following in the unusual style you can even go to more exotic locations. The Eiffel Tower, the Taj Mahal, anywhere far off and fun. This sort of wedding is obviously heavily dependent on your budget and the budgets of your guests.
No matter what you finally decide make sure it is the style you want. Do not let others decide what style your wedding needs to be. It is your day so be sure it reflects who you are.
