A Location for Love to Flourish on Your Wedding Day
April 4, 2016 8:18 amChoosing a wedding venue is a big deal for any bride or groom planning their special day. It dictates the atmosphere on the day and will be one of the first things you remember when you recall your wedding in years to come, whether it’s while having a moment of recollection with your wife on your anniversary or when telling your grandchildren.
There is an array of popular styles. These include informal, modern, urban and, of course, vintage. Each style provides a different feeling, dictates how you and your guests dress, and lets love flourish.
Within this article we’ll explore four popular wedding styles and will share inspiration of how these styles can play out on your wedding day. All of which will help you plan the perfect wedding day.
An Informal Occasion
As society at large becomes more grounded and budgets have been squeezed, the popularity of informal weddings has risen. The tuxedo has been thrown out as grooms walk down the aisle in suits no different to those they wear to work daily. Meanwhile, the guests make their way into the venue in a mix-match of colours and variety of textures.
The venue for these informal weddings varies greatly. Manors in the beautiful countryside of Sussex, a town hall in a secluded Oxfordshire village and even a dormant asylum in central London have graced informal weddings over the past decade. There really are no blueprints on informal wedding venues, however, industrial and urban scenes are popular choices among brides and grooms across the UK. They provide a wonderful backdrop for photographs, making looking back on your day all that more enjoyable.
The Millennial Lust
As the millennial generation mature and discover love, there has been an influx in modern weddings. Sleek and open armed dresses are being chosen by brides, while their bridesmaids showcase matching dresses and shoes.
The venue for these utopias of modern style? Traditional Churches remain popular. However, large marquees in fresh green fields are becoming increasingly desired by those seeking a modern wedding that their guests will never forget.
Unlike informal weddings, the modern style dictates that everything is in-line with each other. This includes the venue, suits, dresses and cars. For example, a beautifully white venue goes hand-in-hand with a black Range Rover sport, like those provided by 4×4 Vehicle Hire.
An Urban Legacy
Many would argue that urban weddings are a conglomerate of modern and informal styles, and I would have to agree. While the venues may include pubs in the cockney regions of London or boats along the Thames, their overall style proves both informal and modern.
Rather than being surrounded by miles of land, they would sooner choose the bustling streets of London or Leeds. Similarly, to fit with this busy style urban weddings bring together upbeat music and varied lighting, to support the desire for an urban location.
A Vintage Affair
Celebrities love vintage! This has led to a significant increase in the popularity of vintage weddings across the country. Such weddings are often made up of vibrantly blue suits, crisp white dresses and pastel coloured flowers. Similarly, the venues chose to host vintage weddings maintain pastel colouring and wooden side notes. All in an effort to give the 1950’s style so many desire today.
Like informal weddings, vintage weddings allow for truly creative accessories. The invites and table toppings can all add to the vintage tone and create a beautiful atmosphere when coupled with a wonderfully vintage venue.
Which style is right for you?
Each of these styles will reflect both the bride and groom, and will provide a truly unique wedding. When combined with a wonderful venue, beautiful cars and all the final touches you’re certain to have a day where love flourishes further.
Do you want an informal wedding which maintains a relaxed atmosphere and allows your guests to wear what they would like? Do you want a modern wedding which works well with a wide array of venues? Or do you want to follow in the footsteps of today’s celebrities and have a vintage day? Whatever style you follow on your wedding day, it’s certain to be a day you and your guests will never forget.
