Wedding Decor and Style

Decor is how your wedding looks and feels: the tables, the flowers, the lighting, the little details guests notice without knowing why. The best decor isn't the most expensive. It is the one that sounds like the two of you.

Start with a feeling, then choose the details. Here is where to begin.

Four questions to settle first

1

What mood do we want?

Romantic, relaxed, elegant, playful? One word is enough to guide every choice.

2

Where is it?

Your venue, indoors or out, sets what will and won't work.

3

What season is it?

Season shapes flowers, colors, lighting and even guest comfort.

4

What can we afford?

Spend on the few things guests see most, and keep the rest simple.
