It should look like
your wedding

Ferns, candlelight, moss underfoot and gold in the branches. The guidance knows your venue may have no kitchen, no power and no path for anyone in heels.

Salt air, bare feet, and the sun going down over open water. Budgeted for the fact that nearly everybody will have travelled, and that beach parking fails first.

Old gold, garnet roses and candlelight caught in crystal. For anywhere the room already has more presence than anything you could bring into it.

Granite, aspen gold, thin bright air, and light that leaves early. The sunset times matter more here than anywhere, and the planner works them out for you.

String lights in the rafters, long tables, wheat and wildflowers, and a barn that smells like summer. Rentals and lighting get their own attention, because they will.

White flowers, clean lines and good tailoring. The look where the budget goes into fewer, better things — and the last thing you take away is usually what makes the room work.

Everything in season at once, and a long table down the middle of it. Somebody spent decades on this planting — adding to it is how you end up with less.

Warm neutrals, low light, rugs on the ground and nothing matching on purpose. For the couple assembling it themselves, from several directions at once.

Aged mirrors, worn velvet and a hundred candles doing the work. For somewhere with a past, where the patina is the point and polishing it would be a mistake.
