CLASSIC WEDDING
A wedding in a classic style today is a mixture of traditions inherited from our parents. The modern “classic wedding” is also called “European”.

A classic wedding includes a set of certain traditions and fashion trends. It begins with getting ready for the bride and groom. The bride's morning is decorated in the style of the wedding, then there is a walk, an outdoor ceremony, a banquet and a program that includes wedding traditions.
In the reality of modern weddings, you can eliminate those traditions that you don’t like and come up with your own.

THEMED WEDDING
Thematic wedding style in its “pure form” was very popular several years ago, when one theme was chosen for the holiday and it was developed throughout the evening. That is, if the wedding was, for example, a pirate wedding, then not only the newlyweds could be pirates, but also all their guests. The action took place on a ship, and only rum could be served as a drink. Today, this format of weddings has faded into the background, giving way to classics and popular wedding styles.
A themed wedding in its modern sense can be played up by adding small thematic accents to the traditional one. Such notes add variety, but do not turn the wedding into a theatrical performance.
Themed wedding options
- Immersion in famous films or works ("Office Romance", "50 Shades of Grey", "Formula of Love", "Avatar", "Cinderella", "Fandorin", etc.) Award ceremonies and TV shows (wedding in the style of " Oscar", "Let's get married", "What? Where? When?")
- Weddings based on world wedding traditions and travel (wedding “Around the World”, “Venice Carnival”, “Italian Wedding”, etc.)
- Stylization of the features of professional activities (thematic “School wedding”, “Medical wedding”, “Biker wedding”, “Diplomatic romance”)
- Weddings in the style of musical subcultures (“Rock style wedding”, “Beatles style wedding”)
- Reconstruction weddings that restore a particular era (“Back to the USSR”, “Imperial Wedding”, “Knight’s Wedding”), etc.

Having figured out how a “themed wedding” differs from a “classic wedding,” you can move on to considering popular wedding styles.

Guest outfits - lightness and style
The bridesmaids and groomsmen present at the wedding choose sets within the stated theme. If the bride and groom prefer luxurious accessories and fabrics, the presence of similar elements in the guests' outfits is a must. A bow tie made of velvet fabric, a wreath of fresh roses, a pocket watch, satin stilettos, exquisite pearl beads - the presence of at least one common detail introduces the participants to the party format.
More relaxed options also require guests to have some commonality in their look: straw hats, light fitted dresses with polka dots, comfortable hippie-style robes with baubles and leather headbands - you should think in advance which detail will be most appropriate and will highlight the outfits of the newlyweds, creating moderate contrast.
STYLISTIC WEDDING
This is a wedding design in famous wedding styles that have their own distinctive features. Today, styles such as boho, rustic, eco, shabby chic, Provence, etc. are very popular. We will talk about them later in this article.
ROMANCE AND ELEGANCE
Wedding in a romantic and elegant style
Not quite a classic, but very close to it. The most common choice among newlyweds. You can fill such a wedding with beauty with the help of exquisite and delicate floristry and elegant decorative elements.
LOFT
Wedding in Loft style
This is a style without strict frames and boundaries, but at the same time without unnecessary frills.
The basis of the loft style is the remnants of the factory past: brick or concrete walls, primitive stone masonry, provocatively exposed pipes, wires and beams - a kind of industrial romance. If you like factory charm, welcome to the loft, the abode of the muses of artists, musicians and designers, the territory of daring and free people.
The main colors of the room are gray, brown, black and any variations thereof: the colors of stone, concrete, brick, metal.

MINIMALISM
Wedding in minimalist style
The “minimalism” style implies simplicity, conciseness, sophistication and elegance in everything: in design and decor, in concept and style, in the images of the bride and groom. To organize a wedding in the style of “minimalism” you should start with choosing a place. Pay attention to studios and restaurants with minimal decor. High ceilings, panoramic windows, light walls, open and light space. Lighting should be natural! Avoid large chandeliers in your decor.
The simplest thing you can start from when creating a wedding concept when choosing a wedding style is color.
But today, choosing just one wedding color is no longer enough – it looks a little “wrong”! But if you take one or two colors and add different shades to the palette, the picture will become more saturated and vibrant.
The option of creating an idea “from color” is especially good when choosing a “classic style” wedding. Any “color interventions” in the classic wedding style will be key and will affect the overall concept of the wedding.
Do not forget that color can also serve as a starting point when developing an idea focused on other fashionable wedding styles, however, when choosing a specific style, it will be important to take into account the “style-forming” elements, without which it simply cannot be fully conveyed.
Photoshoot
Nature at this time of year is beautiful: a variety of bright plants and trees are blooming, there is fresh greenery all around, the sun is shining, it’s warm and comfortable to walk outside. So the most optimal, budget and popular option is to arrange a summer photo shoot in the fresh air. You can go to a city or country park, to the forest or take a walk around the city.
A good solution is to have a picnic.
It will be interesting to find a river, lake, field with sunflowers, poppies or wildflowers. For more original natures, an amusement park or a children's playground with swings is suitable. Such photos turn out to be emotional, “alive” and will definitely be remembered for a long time.
Romantic couples can go boating, while active ones can ride a bike or horseback. A luxurious idea would be to rent an entire yacht, especially for a nautical themed celebration.
Use as accessories:
- Sunglasses;
- colorful umbrellas;
- Balloons;
- various signs with inscriptions;
- masks;
- frames with floral motifs;
- fruits, vegetables and berries, which are so abundant in summer;
- fashionable colored smoke;
- soap bubbles and more.
If suddenly you are not very lucky with the weather, then you can always find a beautiful, professional photo studio with good light and various paraphernalia. A more budget-friendly option would be a cafe or restaurant, which also produces romantic and sweet photos.
