8 Minimalist Tips for a Unique Wedding
2017-11-28

There are many of us that love a fancy wedding and some who prefer to have a simple classic celebration. For those who like to keep their wedding clean and simple, here are some ways to style your wedding minimally while still making an impression on your guests.

Pick One Flower

What makes wedding flowers so expensive are the floral arrangements. Do bouquets of one flower for a bold look and a beautiful, natural accent of colour. You will be able to order a larger quantity because the price of a single flower type is much lower. If you want to add variation to your decoration, you can consider getting the same flower in different colours and pair the flowers with other materials and props.

Become a Paper Mate

Paper is an inexpensive medium that can be crafted to look like expensive, retail quality décor. Pull the look of your wedding together with minimalist, creative designs for a unique touch. Skip on real flowers and make delicate paper petals that no guest will scrutinize as fakes, but admire the art.

Feel Monochrome

Choosing the right wedding gown colours can help pull together the design of the whole day nicely, but the price of your gowns may also be affected by the colours chosen. Choose one colour, such as blue, pink, purple or green, and welcome all different shades into your clothes and décor. Limiting your selection because colours don’t match perfectly or insisting on one’s purchase being a special colour is where all the costs rack up. Balance your pop of colour with white or black so the most important details stand out on your big day.

Gift the Centrepiece

A nice, seamless look for dining tables pull together the experience for guests. A modern way to include them in your day even more is to let them take home the centrepieces as parting gifts. For a natural look, use succulents to decorate the table or be tasteful with a stack of books or wine bottles to send your guests home with after the big day.

Feed your Guests

Food as door gifts are surprisingly simple and inexpensive if you make the right choices. These useful gifts can look beautiful and are especially appreciated by guests. Some great ideas to make your day memorable for guests are sachets of tea, cider, spiced wine or even bottles of infused oil. 

Make it Small

Minimize the size of your wedding for a personable, charming day. Downsizing the guest list will reduce costs and allow time and money for special touches and activities during the wedding. Have more guests give speeches for toasting, or dedicate songs or dances! Let the guests be the wedding’s life.

Breathtaking Venues in Nature

You will not need excessive decorations or extra expenses when you hold your wedding at a breathtaking venue. Plan your wedding at a botanic garden, resort or beach to set the mood for the day. These beautiful locations provide a perfect background for photos and bring up a jovial mood for the celebration.

Make it Casual

Put a new spin on tradition with a casual theme to make all your guests feel comfortable and welcomed. If you are not particular about the formality of traditional weddings, you can up open your options and have a laid back celebration instead. This style cuts down on expenses for everyone, and can still keep the wedding special and meaningful.
