2026 is just around the corner…and so is your dream wedding! Your perfect dress should make you feel beautiful, comfortable, and seen. Whether it is lace detailed, a sweeping ballgown, or chic and form-fitting, your dress reflects your beauty.
What are your wedding colors? Which flowers are you using in your bouquet? What style and flavor is your cake? Incorporating your style and “theme” within your wedding is a creative and artistic way of expressing yourself during your special day. Other special details include specific candles, tablecloths, silverware/dinnerware, and invitations. If you’re having a beach wedding, consider incorporating details such as pearls, oysters, and coconuts. If you align with a more vintage eclectic style, consider incorporating film photos, unique dishware, and mismatched furniture.
