10 main wedding styles

Classic

A classic wedding is a solemn atmosphere, a calm palette in light colors, live music at the ceremony, a magnificent dress for the bride and a black tie dress code for guests. This wedding is like something out of the best romantic movies, it’s something that will always be beautiful! The classic style is suitable for large celebrations outside the city, where there will be many guests of different ages, for weddings where it is important to maintain an official tone and respect traditions.

Suitable theme for a wedding

A classic wedding day has long become a rarity in the modern world, because now newlyweds are increasingly choosing a certain style for their wedding. Below we will look at the most suitable ones for the warm period.

Rustic

One of the most popular recently. “Rustic” is as close as possible to nature, fresh air, everything simple and rustic. Therefore, the best idea is to hold such a celebration outside, because the warm months of summer are very relevant for it.

In your design use:

natural materials - grass, hay, wood, moss, stones;
and from fabrics - cotton, linen and lace;
village stumps;
wooden furniture;
shops;
field plants;
It would be interesting to place not vases on the tables, but empty wine bottles or cans, and buckets on the ground.

For registration, order a wooden arch decorated with flowers and branches. Choose exclusively natural shades: brown, beige and greenish.

The images of young people should be as simple as possible. The bride is wearing a light flowing sundress or dress. You can choose a more fashionable look: a floor-length skirt and a lace top. For styling, make braids, Malvinka or simply loosen the strands. The most appropriate way to complement your hairstyle is with a wreath.

A classic formal suit is not suitable for the groom, but a shirt made of natural fabric, combined with summer trousers and suspenders, will be just right. You can complement the look with a jumper, vest, bright bow tie and straw hat.

boho

Gypsy boho is bohemianism and hippie all rolled into one. This theme requires unity with nature, but at the same time has a sense of style. Therefore, the best option is to spend your wedding day outdoors, for example, outside the city, in a park or near a beautiful pond.

When decorating, use:

old-fashioned textiles - colorful blankets and pillows;
animal skins;
paper lanterns and garlands;
fringe;
embroidery, ornament and patterns;
antiques - candlesticks, paintings, figurines and frames;
feathers;
natural fabric - chiffon, silk, organza, lace, velvet and linen;
shades - beige, milky, chocolate, milky, yellow and golden.

Welcome: multi-layered floor-length skirts, ethnic elements, guipure, large jewelry, textile and leather accessories for the newlywed. And for a man, light trousers or even jeans, a shirt, suspenders and a hat.

Provence

French Provence is one of the most relevant themes in the summer. After all, lavender branches begin to bloom during this period. It is characterized by simplicity and grace, combined with aristocracy and the countryside.

It is very similar to the previous two styles in its simplicity, naturalness, naturalness and love for nature.

It would also be appropriate to celebrate such a celebration outdoors. You can rent a manor or cottage outside the city, or visit a farm where there is a flowering meadow.

To recreate the atmosphere, you can use wicker or wooden furniture, ceramic dishes, French wines and cheese, bird cages, natural fabrics, and of course, lavender. To better convey the notes of Provence, choose delicate shades of purple and other pastel colors: beige, milky, creamy, and so on.

Tropical style

If you like fruits, then this option is for you. Organize a vibrant summer ceremony filled with Southern fruits: pineapple, papaya, mango and more. Orchids of various colors are also suitable for decoration. A tropical holiday, like the previous ones, is appropriate to organize outdoors: in a park, near a river or lake, outside the city.

In Russian folk

The theme of the Russian folk festival looks quite impressive in the warm season. You can organize fun wherever your heart desires, from an open terrace with gazebos to a private house in the village.

Traditional Russian colors, namely red, white and black, will help you embody this style in your wedding. And also items that remind you of the culture of the people: wooden chairs, tables and benches, hemp, a samovar, antique dishes with patterns, tablecloths and towels with embroidery in the right colors, bast shoes, musical instruments and much more.

An interesting idea would be images of young people in national clothes. It is important for the bride to wear braids and bright scarlet lips; vintage jewelry in the form of beads and earrings will help complement the look.

Marine

What do you want more than the sea and the beach in the summer heat? But if you don’t have the opportunity to celebrate a celebration abroad, then it doesn’t matter, because any suitable and beautiful body of water will help create such an atmosphere. Another great solution is to rent a hotel or cottage outside the city with a swimming pool, or even hold the ceremony on a boat or yacht.

Of the shades, use, of course, blue, light blue, turquoise, white and “sea wave”.

The images of the newlyweds should be light and airy. Choose clothes that are not only fashionable and stylish, but also in which you will not feel hot.

Urban

A more youthful and informal style for couples who live in the rhythm of the big city. As a rule, lofts or restaurants in the Art Nouveau style are chosen as a location for a wedding in this style; the palette is dominated by dark and rich tones. The bride's look can be very bold - a mini-dress, shiny fabric, a trouser suit, a crop top.

The decor features emphasized minimalism, strict lines and geometry, and a small number of colors in a contrasting palette. As a rule, the “geometry” style is not found in its pure form; individual details are used - for example, geometric arches, florariums on guest tables, elements of geometry in printing and seating charts.

Photoshoot

Nature at this time of year is beautiful: a variety of bright plants and trees are blooming, there is fresh greenery all around, the sun is shining, it’s warm and comfortable to walk outside. So the most optimal, budget and popular option is to arrange a summer photo shoot in the fresh air. You can go to a city or country park, to the forest or take a walk around the city.

A good solution is to have a picnic.

It will be interesting to find a river, lake, field with sunflowers, poppies or wildflowers. For more original natures, an amusement park or a children's playground with swings is suitable. Such photos turn out to be emotional, “alive” and will definitely be remembered for a long time.

Romantic couples can go boating, while active ones can ride a bike or horseback. A luxurious idea would be to rent an entire yacht, especially for a nautical themed celebration.

Use as accessories:

Sunglasses;
colorful umbrellas;
Balloons;
various signs with inscriptions;
masks;
frames with floral motifs;
fruits, vegetables and berries, which are so abundant in summer;
fashionable colored smoke;
soap bubbles and more.

If suddenly you are not very lucky with the weather, then you can always find a beautiful, professional photo studio with good light and various paraphernalia. A more budget-friendly option would be a cafe or restaurant, which also produces romantic and sweet photos.

Modern elegance

A new interpretation of the classics - this style does not allow pretentiousness, bright details, or oversaturation of decor. Modern elegance gravitates towards minimalism, refined details, and a restrained palette of muted colors. Ideal locations for such a wedding are ancient castles, country villas, restaurants with discreet interiors in light colors.

Tall candles, elegant calligraphy, exquisite table setting, a calm, intimate atmosphere of dinner, silk ribbons, handmade accessories... The images of the newlyweds are not traditionally wedding - brides should better abandon fluffy dresses in favor of flowing fabrics and calm beige-gray tones; grooms should consider suits in a light color palette.

boho

The spirit of freedom and the wind in your hair! The basis of the style is bright colors and exotic floristry, carpets and tapestries, ethnic motifs, feathers and pampas grass, colored glass. A bohemian wedding is characterized by the use of the most unusual materials: genuine leather, suede, fur, deer or elk antlers, skulls.

An indispensable condition for a wedding in a bohemian style is a ceremony in nature. The wedding arch can be decorated with carpets and fabrics, macrame, dried flowers, dream catchers or garlands. The bride's dress should be simple in cut, without a corset, and not restrict movement. Long sleeves, embroidery, fringe, coffee or beige shades would be appropriate; in the hairstyle - either loose light curls, or braids and various weaves.

Fashion trends

The main trend in organizing a wedding in 2021 is a family and home-like ceremony.

Colors

When choosing shades for your wedding this season, avoid strong color themes. The main color should harmoniously complement the overall stylistic solution, but in no case dominate. Everything is beautiful in moderation!

I recommend paying attention to the ideal, and most importantly fashionable, combination of color and season.

Winter wedding – classic white color; combinations of red and white or black and white shades will emphasize the consistency and subtle taste of the newlyweds.
Spring celebration - in soft cream, light green, lilac and mint tones will add lightness and airiness to the festive decoration.
Summer ceremony - pink, turquoise, yellow and green will add bright colors and set the mood.
Autumn wedding - fashionable brick red color, all shades of red, orange, mustard and gold go perfectly with the natural colors of autumn.

The main color accent of Greenery will fill the most stylish wedding of this season with naturalness and naturalness; I do not rule out that by the new year 2021 everything around will turn green. Wait and see!

Decor

The trend this season is minimalism. For decoration, choose various floral compositions consisting of green leaves, sticks and twigs. Watercolor motifs are suitable for invitations.

Multi-level light in the decoration of the hall, the luminous table of the bride and groom with chairs will make an indelible impression on the guests.

And here is a video master class on how to make a garland with your own hands. It can be used to decorate an arch for registration, a tree for a photo shoot, or a platform for a summer feast on the street. The main thing is that the outlet is nearby, or the strong hands of friends, alternately turning a manual current generator. The last idea is not very reliable, the fuse of friends may not last long, and the rest of the evening will pass under the slogan “Darkness is the friend of youth!” Although who said that this is bad?

Banquet

Organizing a banquet in the form of a buffet is becoming popular; this option provides freedom of choice to your guests.

A variety of treats, food and drinks are on separate tables in the hall. Individual cheese tables are very popular.

If your wedding style is Italian Riviera, organize a themed buffet with pizza in the main role, such a treat will allow you to feed all your guests deliciously and inexpensively. Do you like pizza? Share your opinion about this wedding treat.

Organize a separate children's table if there will be children at your party. They love French fries, burgers and all kinds of sweets.

Sweet tables with a variety of cakes, cookies, biscuits and chocolate will please both big and small. In the summer, you can invite an ice cream maker with a whole display case of this cooling dessert.

Take care of separate tables with drinks:

refreshing summer lemonade
delicious coffee and baklava for an oriental wedding
samovar and bowls of jam for a winter celebration
with a slide of champagne and cocktails for all weddings without exception

You don’t have to look for a restaurant with a suitable interior and delicious cuisine; you can find a free room, for example, in the Loft style, rent furniture and order catering services.

Cortege

For the most part, you can’t do without transportation at a wedding. Of course, you can come to the registry office on bicycles and in jeans, but I’m talking about something else now. This year, you shouldn’t decorate your car with lush drapery fabrics, or attach voluminous rings and swans to the hood.

Make your own green wreath from branches and flowers and decorate your car with them. If your wedding is in a retro style, then you can hang a Just Married paper garland on the trunk of your car. Moreover, it will also not be difficult to make; you will only need thick paper, a printer and rope.

Romance

A wedding in the “romantic” style means tenderness and airiness of the decor, a ceremony surrounded by flowers, a palette of pink and blue tones, flowing fabrics of the bride’s dress and the atmosphere of a fairy tale. This is a wedding like a childhood dream, a holiday for girls who dream of feeling like real princesses. The best location for such a wedding is a country hotel or a blooming garden; The best time is summer or late spring, when nature is filled with bright colors and aromas of flowers.

All varieties of roses and peonies, hydrangeas and jasmine are suitable for such a celebration. All flowers that give the impression of having just been picked from the garden will look great - clematis, ranunculus, delphinium, etc. In the romantic style there are many design options that vary in mood. For example, a restrained English version, in which elegance and simplicity predominate, or a French one, which, on the contrary, involves lush compositions and a touch of carelessness in design.

Natural styles

Whenever possible, it is best to hold weddings outdoors: space, fresh air, a beautiful backdrop for photographs. But you can emphasize natural motifs with the help of design and correctly selected attributes.

Eco style

As in creating an interior in a similar style, the decoration of the celebration will be dominated by natural materials and shades. Against the background of snow-white tablecloths, compositions made from branches, cones, leaves, moss, and acorns look elegant and stylish. Additional decor can include woodpiles of birch firewood, stumps, pots of fresh grass, topiary, linen napkins, wooden boxes, canvas bags and an abundance of green plants.

Nautical

A nautical-themed wedding doesn't have to be on the seashore. Using marine-themed accessories and colors, this style can be created in any banquet hall. First of all, you need to choose a palette with an emphasis on shades of blue and white. Traditionally, the nautical style includes stripes a la vest, all kinds of shells, figurines of ships, steering wheels, anchors, and a lighthouse.

Beach

It is best to organize such a celebration on a real beach or shore of a pond. To create it, there are already clearly established canons: a romantic arch, flowing, translucent fabrics, fishing nets, exotic fruits, torches, beach grass.

Cosiness

A cozy wedding is, first of all, a family holiday; it is a warm and homely atmosphere, an intimate dinner with those closest to you, without any pathos or excessive solemnity, in a relaxed, calm atmosphere. An open country area, where you can arrange a buffet and outdoor entertainment, or a small cozy cafe, is suitable for holding such a wedding. This is a holiday where everyone knows each other, where children's laughter is heard, and the pets of the bride and groom are present at the ceremony.

On this day, everyone should be comfortable, so abandon the strict dress code for guests and choose looks for yourself that do not restrict movement and in which you feel like yourself. The decor requires candles and garlands of retro light bulbs, and the program of such a wedding should not be oversaturated - the main emphasis should be on delicious food and interesting conversations at a long table for all guests.
