Your wedding shouldn’t feel assembled; it should feel authored. Consider this chapter the quiet room where your celebration takes shape—where palette, place, and priorities align into a clear blueprint.
1) Define the Vision
Begin with feeling, not logistics. What do you want guests to sense within the first five minutes—quiet romance, urbane sparkle, sun-washed ease, candlelit formality?
- Atmosphere: garden romantic, city chic, minimalist modern, bohemian luxe.
- Story objects: an heirloom watch, a handwritten vow book, a favorite film cue—let a few icons anchor the mood.
- Guest experience: decide what you’ll optimize for—conversation, dancing, cuisine, or spectacle.
Editorial cue: Fewer ideas, executed thoroughly, read more luxurious than a crowded concept board.
2) Palette & Mood
Color is emotion made visible. Choose a hero hue, two supporting tones, and grounding neutrals. Repeat them across florals, linens, stationery, lighting—and wardrobe accents—for coherence that photographs beautifully.
- Seasonal lens: pastels (spring), saturated brights (summer), earthen warmth (autumn), jewel tones (winter).
- Texture over quantity: silk + linen + matte ceramic can do more than five competing colors.
3) Venue, Scale & Budget
Venue first. Architecture dictates silhouette: gardens favor organic florals and soft textiles; lofts crave graphic lines and refined minimalism; coastal spaces want wind-friendly forms and luminous glass.
- Scale: guest count drives layout, staffing, floral volume, AV.
- Budget: set ranges for the five big rocks: venue, food & beverage, photography, music, florals/décor.
Allocation guide (start point): Venue/F&B 45–55% · Photo/Video 10–15% · Music 8–12% · Florals/Décor 10–15% · Attire/Beauty 5–10% · Stationery/Details 3–5% · Cushion 5%.
4) From Inspiration to Blueprint
- Create a one-page brief: tone, palette, venue notes, priorities, and do-not-wants.
- Draft a timeline (arrivals, ceremony, golden hour, dinner, first dance, send-off).
- Open your WeTwo Registry early to align gifts with your life together.
