Garden Party Princess or Cottage Core Queen? Finding Your Wedding Aesthetic

Hey there future brides💍

Let's be honest—there's so much noise about what you should or shouldn't do for your wedding that it can be hard to decide what you actually want. What feels most like... well, you 🩵

So we’re here to help you navigate aesthetics without losing authenticity, blending trend awareness with personal style that'll age beautifully.

Put a Pin In It

We all have that folder on Pinterest with pins of your dream wedding details (if you don’t have one, it’s time to start one).

Sometimes inspiration is the key to bringing your vision to life. You already have your own style in the way you dress and your personal aesthetic—but how does that translate to a wedding aesthetic? And what if you're drawn to multiple different styles?

First off, you can start by going through pins or inspo pics and see if there’s a pattern to what you’re liking. Do you like the bold or minimal florals? Are you noticing that you lean more toward the indoor or outdoor vibes? 

Secondly, wedding aesthetics are not set in stone. You might be thinking, well isn’t that the point of this article? Yes, but if you don’t have a specific aesthetic in mind, you can always combine or create new ones. Although we are here to help you, we’re not here to tell you what to do. f you like the romantic softness of a garden wedding but also love the clean lines of modern minimalism, mix them! Your wedding should reflect all the facets of who you are.

Trust Your Gut

At the end of the day, trends come and go, but your wedding photos are forever. The most timeless weddings aren't the ones that perfectly match a trending aesthetic—they're the ones that feel genuine to the couple.

So yes, get inspired. Save those pins. Browse Instagram. But also pause and ask yourself: Does this feel like us? If something doesn't resonate with your story, your relationship, or your personality, it's okay to let it go—even if everyone else is doing it.

Your wedding aesthetic should be a reflection of your love story, not a carbon copy of someone else's. When you blend inspiration with intention, you create something beautifully, authentically yours.

Start With What Matters Most

If you're feeling overwhelmed, try this: identify the three elements that matter most to you. Maybe it's the venue, the flowers, and the overall mood. Or perhaps it's the colors, the music, and the food. Once you know your non-negotiables, everything else becomes easier to decide.

These anchor points will guide your choices and keep you grounded when you're drowning in options. They'll also help your vendors understand your vision and bring it to life in ways that feel cohesive and intentional.

At the end of the day, your wedding is a celebration of your unique love story. Don't let the noise drown out what truly matters—create a day that feels like home, feels like love, and most importantly, feels like you 💍✨
