When I meet with a couple to help them plan or coordinate their wedding, one of the questions I always ask is, “What style will your wedding be?” I have found that not everyone has an easy answer to this question. Here is why it is important to me:
When I ask about style, what I want to know is, “How do you make decisions about what your wedding and reception will be like?” Also, “Do you have a vision for how your wedding will look or feel or sound?”
Whether your answer to the question of style is, “Formal, elegant, high-class” or, “Casual, laid-back, informal,” the answer gives me a lot of information about your goals and your decision-making process. It allows me to make suggestions that are appropriate for your particular wedding.
Sometimes “style” means “visual style,” as in what sorts of colors and accessories you think are necessary. But “style” can also mean the general feel of the party or it can mean what you think is important to the day. The answer to the question could be, “Our wedding will be a picnic in the woods,” or it could be, “It’s all about fun and games.” To me, the important thing is not the specific answer but, rather, that you have a vision that you are pursuing.
