Relaxed Luxe Wedding Inspiration
As the big day approaches, many brides face a daunting task: selecting their dream wedding theme and colour scheme. The process can be overwhelming, with endless options and ideas swirling in their minds. But fear not! Pink Book is here to guide you through this creative journey, offering inspiration and expert advice from industry professionals to help you achieve the perfect wedding look and feel.
Pronkertjie
Pronkertjie took charge of the floral arrangements for this stunning Relaxed Luxe Wedding Inspiration shoot. Their expert advice? ‘Choose a florist whose work resonates with you, and you’ll be thrilled.’ As creatives, we each bring our unique signature style to creating breathtaking settings. We all have our own preferences when it comes to flowers or décor elements that make us stand out from the crowd.
At Pronkertjie, they excel at blending modern flair with romantic luxury florals, making them a perfect match for a modern romantic bride. When searching for floral companies, keep the following tips in mind:Have an open conversation with your florist about your budget, as this will dictate what you can expect from them in terms of flower and décor styling. From here, you can scale up or down depending on your level of abundance.
A realistic budget allocation is to dedicate 25-40% of your overall wedding budget towards flowers and décor. This is merely a guideline, as the amount you allocate will depend on your personal style, level of abundance, and how important flowers are to you as a bride. When working with a limited budget, prioritize statement pieces like the ceremony arch, bridal table, and bridal bouquet. Less can indeed be more. Don’t be afraid to be yourself and stay true to who you both are as a couple.
Be open-minded when it comes to styling your wedding, and trust that your florist and décor stylist will blend your unique styles together to create something breathtaking. Commit to your florist, as they’re not in business to ‘rip you off.’ Instead, they’ll work with you to create a stunning wedding within your reasonable budget. When they know you’re committed, they’ll go above and beyond to ensure your day is unforgettable.
When selecting your photographer, make sure their editing style will capture your flowers in the way you want them to be remembered. Florists take pride in selecting the perfect variety of flowers to showcase your chosen colour palette. For instance, if you desire a bright and colourful wedding with rich warm tones like burgundy, reds, and pink, keep this in mind when booking your photographer.
I Do Creative Concepts
As we reflect on this Relaxed Luxe Styled Shoot, I Do Creative Concepts can’t help but feel a sense of pride. It’s moments like these that remind us why we do what we do – to bring couples’ unique visions to life. With so many beautiful options out there, it can be overwhelming for brides to decide on a design for their wedding stationery. Our advice? Start with what speaks to you. Perhaps it’s a specific color palette, typography, or element that holds special meaning.
Instead of trying to emulate someone else’s style or fear being too ‘different’, why not create something that is quintessentially YOU? Don’t be afraid to say no to elements that don’t resonate with your personal taste. If you’re not a fan of greenery, leave it out! If geometric shapes don’t suit your personality, they won’t make the cut. Your designer should be able to take your unique ideas and form them into stationery that truly reflects your style.
When selecting a stationery studio, don’t forget to review their portfolio, meet with them in person, feel the paper quality, and ensure they understand your vision. Just as you connect with your photographer, dressmaker, and cake baker, it’s crucial to find a designer who ‘gets’ you.
Elli-Nicole Bridal
When it comes to wedding dress shopping, Elli-Nicole Bridal’s creative director brings her signature touch by emphasizing the importance of self-love and authenticity. According to her, the ideal bride is someone who embodies whimsy and romance, unafraid to take a non-traditional approach. To make the most out of this experience, she recommends setting a realistic budget based on informed research, allowing bridal boutiques to better assist you.
It’s crucial not to shop for your body type six months prior, as drastic changes could render your chosen dress obsolete. Instead, focus on finding a gown that makes you feel confident and beautiful, reflecting your unique personality. To avoid overwhelm, take the time to research and visit boutiques that carry designers that resonate with you. Finally, keep your dress-fitting party intimate, as excessive opinions can be distracting and stressful.
