01
THE BIG IDEA

Stop naming the aesthetic. Start describing the feeling.

Instead of forcing your wedding into one trend label, choose a few words that describe how you want the day to feel. Those words become a filter for color, flowers, fashion, lighting and details.

02
MAKE IT USEFUL

Build a visual hierarchy

♡ Choose one dominant feeling♡ Pick two or three recurring materials or colors♡ Let the venue do some of the decorating♡ Repeat a few details instead of adding everything♡ Spend where guests will actually notice
03
