Style: express yourselves
“Real style is never right or wrong, it’s a matter of being yourself on purpose”
G. Bruce Boyer
Do you remember the day your style was created?
Was it on a Saturday morning in the ’80s watching Video Hits in your loungeroom and seeing Debbie Gibson wearing overalls and a black fedora that inspired your look? Or was it the MC Hammer happy pants or NSync’s blonde locks that turned your style around? How does your personal style influence your style decisions for your wedding or special event?
Wedding and event trends change each year, but what you know you can rely on is your own individualistic style. Style is influenced by your character, experiences and your own little idiosyncracies. It is your way of expressing who you are. Style inspiration for your ceremony or upcoming special occasion, whether it be a small or large scale event, can come from anywhere, heck it might even be from Debbie Gibson or Mc Hammer! The most important thing to remember is that trends come and go, but style is timeless. The way you style your wedding or special occasion event will resonate with you for years to come.
Whether it be the colours your bridal party will wear, using fresh or preserved flowers or the personal inclusions in your ceremony, there are endless ways you can style your occasion that will represent you.
The most important thing to remember is that your event and how you want to style it is up to you and for you. You will be influenced by the trends of the season and the opinions of others. You will be wowed by the gorgeous photos on Instagram by some of the most amazing wedding and event planners we have in this city. Take what you see and what you love and create your vision for how you want your event to look and feel.
These 3 helpful hints will come in handy when creating your event and staying true to your style
- Create a Pinterest or vision board to bring your ideas to life
- Stay true to the things you love and stay away from including things that you don’t vibe with
- When in doubt and when the overwhelm creeps in, stop and think about your original vision. It’ll help you get back on track.
