You’ve got to find the perfect venue, plan your guest list, decide on your menu, find THE perfect dress, coordinate the bridal party, think about the honeymoon… we could go on and on!
There’s something truly spectacular about putting together a beautiful setting and seeing our couple’s vision come to life. And we know for a fact that whether you choose a professional to help you or decide to do it yourself, it’s so easy to be overwhelmed.
Here are our top 6 insider tips when it comes to choosing your wedding style.
1. CHOOSE YOUR VENUE
Before you dive into colour palettes or décor ideas — lock in your venue!
Your venue sets the tone for everything. From the layout and lighting to the style of furniture and backdrops you’ll need, everything flows from the space you choose. There’s nothing worse than falling in love with an idea, only to realise it doesn’t suit your venue.
The location of your wedding will also have a big impact on the venue vibe, whether you prefer a private property, country wedding, rustic or coastal for example.
2. YOUR WEDDING VISION
Ask yourself: What do I want my wedding to feel like?
Formal sit-down dinner? Relaxed cocktail party? Intimate gathering with just close friends and family? Or a big, bold celebration that feels like the ultimate party?
There are no rules. Once you’ve decided on the vibe, it becomes your decision-making blueprint for the rest of your styling choices.

3. BE REALISTIC ABOUT YOUR BUDGET
It’s easy to get swept up in the excitement — we get it!
That’s why having a realistic, well-rounded budget from the beginning is key. Talk to your stylist or planner early on about what’s most important to you. Prioritise the elements that matter most — whether that’s a breathtaking entrance, a styled bar, or soft lighting that transforms the space.
We’re here to help you make the most of your budget in the areas that count.
4. GET INSPIRED
Pinterest and Instagram are great for building a visual mood — but it’s easy to go down the rabbit hole.
Start by saving images that feel like you — colours, flowers, fabrics, table setups, or even the way a space makes you feel. Don’t worry about making it perfect. Your stylist can help take that inspiration and translate it into a cohesive look that works for your venue and budget.

5. WORK WITH A PROFESSIONAL STYLIST
Styling involves more than choosing pretty things. It’s about crafting an experience — and there are a lot of moving parts behind the scenes.
While some people have a clear idea of what their style is, we know some don’t know where to begin. Our experienced team will help refine your vision, guide you through colour palettes, furniture, florals, lighting and layouts, and take care of all the logistics: from delivery and setup to liaising with suppliers and pack-down.
We can help unravel your vision and interpret your style - and then deliver something better than you could have ever imagined!.jpg)
