You probably remember the scene from The Devil Wears Prada where Miranda Priestly, played by Meryl Streep, said, “It’s not just blue, it’s not turquoise, it’s not lapis, it’s actually cerulean.” The iconic monologue effectively captures how the fashion industry affects everyone, even those who believe they are not making fashion-inspired choices. The scene is proof of how small details which appear trivial and unnoticeable matter in the grand scheme of things.
Same can be said when choosing the elements to include in your wedding. It’s easy to get lost in the numerous style pegs on your mood board. Just because two elements look incredible on their own, it doesn’t mean that they will match each other perfectly once they are placed side by side.
It’s essential to team up with suppliers and coordinators who understand your dream wedding. A team that knows how to make your mood board come to life without looking like an amalgamation of different ideas. Choosing luxury wedding planners in London can make the full wedding preparation easier for you, leaving you stress-free as the days lead you to the big day.
Here’s a list of details which, if done correctly, will instantly turn your wedding into a feast for all senses:
Flowers
The first detail that your guests will notice, both in the ceremony and reception, is the flower arrangement upon entering the venue. The entrance is also the point where you’ll come to walk down the aisle. You have to make sure that the entry will look good in photos and real life.
You don’t need the priciest flowers to make a statement. Not all of your guests are familiar with the types and prices of floras anyway. The variety of flowers and their arrangement can create the vibe you are aiming for.
Lighting
Lighting is not a mere accessory to dress up the place. It serves many functions: highlight the decorative details of the venue; provide the perfect light for your guests’ selfies and photos, and create an intimate atmosphere even for large venues.
Music
From the bridal march to the afterparty, music can affect the emotions of everyone in the room. Don’t skimp on live music, especially in the reception. Remember, the song choices matter in curating an experience. Choose songs that are important to you as a couple. Go for performers and genre that will match the theme of the affair. Don’t forget to give your pre-prepared playlist to them.
Tables and Chairs
Yes, they are functional. As long as they are serving their purpose, they can stay. Wrong. Tables and chairs take so much space in the ceremony and reception. This is why choosing a specific design can contribute to the whole look of the set-up. If you’re going for the rustic look, you’d surely want wooden chairs over tiffany chairs. Tell your coordinator to book a supplier that has options
Food and Beverages
This is a wedding detail that you should invest in the most. Admittedly, guests tend to remember the food and beverages in a wedding reception. It’s inevitable as eating is an activity that requires the participation of all senses, making it memorable. Your wedding is a celebration of love. Like all celebrations, a wedding needs good food and drinks to keep the energy flowing.
A classy wedding is not defined by over the top elements. What matters is a well-curated event in which every detail is considered as the best option to create a whole that is unmistakably noteworthy. It’s about appearing effortlessly beautiful, even though it took mastery and experience to come up with that decision.
