Your wedding is more than just a gathering with family and friends. It is a statement you put forward, a dream you share with your partner. Choosing a wedding aesthetic must predate any kind of wedding decoration. It helps unify the style with a well thought out cohesion, narrow down the theme selection so that you can gauge exactly what aspects need to be accentuated. Deciding upon it also simplifies the work of the wedding decorators you may hire, allowing easier selection of options in colors, flowers, fabrics and any other components of the decor accordingly. So what is a wedding aesthetic?
A wedding aesthetic, essentially, is the style that reflects in the wedding decor, the outfits and the general setup of the wedding venue. It can incorporate the smallest of details, from the dress code to the food menu. It forms a clearer picture of how you want your day to look like and what kind of ambiance and feelings you want to associate with it. This aesthetic can be broadly defined, such as ‘romantic,’ ‘rustic’ or traditional’ or you can get rid of the vagueness to elucidate what you exactly expect by picking up a more particular one such as ‘winter wonderland‘ or ‘whimsical garden party.’ We have sorted out the most popular wedding aesthetics for you to hop on this wedding trend wagon!
Boho
The Bohemian theme spells out laidback and fun. Without the restrictions of formality, this kind of decor combines nature and craft, incorporating trinkets, florals, canopies and other creative adornments. Anything highly ornamented or artificial is a no. If relaxed is your way of life, this is definitely your kind of aesthetic. Boho weddings can have various settings, from a plain old backyard to a barn, farmhouse or even a beach!
Vintage
In general, vintage resonates with timeless elegance, and in particular, with a throwback to any specific era lost to the times that you might wanna recall. Antique marriage decoration such as those made of wood, lamps, leather, etc. will go well with this theme. Complete the aesthetic with a vintage vehicle on showcase such as a retro scooter or a classic car.
Romantic
Isn’t that what weddings are primarily about? Celebrate your love by having it leave a mark on every little detail of your wedding. Put on the Valentine color palette, soft and feathery textures, a melange of flowers, preferably in creamy pastels and gauzy drapes decoration. Think mellow lighting, curlicues and sparkling crystals! Gardens or vineyards are ideal for such a wedding function.
Tropical
Tropical is basically nature making a big, bold, loud statement. The eccentricities of flora are all on display here. Conifers, succulents, ferns and vines find a place in this kind of aesthetic. It generally goes well with a poolside or beach wedding but you can always use this aesthetic to bring the zest of nature indoors if an outdoor wedding isn’t on the cards.
