Creating your wedding style is very important to your big day, as it will set the tone and energy of your upcoming event. When you are planning your wedding, you’re going to want your wedding style to display your personality as a couple. This will allow your ceremony and reception to offer a quality that is unique, intimate, and personable. We’ve witnessed hundreds of weddings, and know how important style can be to your guests, to your wedding photos, and of course, for your wedding film! Today, we are going to walk you through three key steps to creating your wedding style.
1. Find Your Wedding Inspiration
The first step to finding your wedding style should be to find your wedding inspiration. You can find beautiful and inspiring images through Pinterest, and you can start by creating your own wedding board (you can even start by checking out our Pinterest profile here). Pin any images you find appealing, but also be mindful of your personal style, and the story you would like to share. As you begin to find your wedding inspiration, note the different color palettes, typography, venues, and even wedding themes you are drawn to. This is important, and will help you create a style you will love.
Instagram is another great avenue you can use to find your wedding inspiration. Because it is a photo sharing platform, there is no doubt you’ll find exactly what you’re looking for. Start by searching for videographers, photographers, florists, and any other vendors. You can even check out our Instagram page here!

2. Narrow Down Your Style
Once you feel that you have found your wedding inspiration, the next step will be to take a look back to see how you can incorporate your inspiration into your event. Pay attention to the little details, and which parts you might want to incorporate into your style. By combining your wedding inspiration with you and your partner’s style, you can create a wedding theme that is beautiful, unique, and authentic to you both. We’ve witnessed many couples combine their own inspiration with their personal style creating a very unique wedding day!

3. Use Your Inspiration to Begin Planning
Once you have found your wedding inspiration, and you have an overall idea of what you want your wedding style to be, you can now begin planning. Whether your inspiration comes in the form of an overall theme or within the small details, you will want to begin working with your wedding vendors to bring your vision to life. The clearer you are on your wedding style, the easier it will be for your wedding videographer, wedding photographer, and your wedding planner to help you create your dream wedding day.
