Consider your own personal style

Do you tend to be a classic dresser or more avant garde? Are you a jeans with heels type person in your day to day life? Perhaps you want to be more romantic for your big day.

The good news here is that whatever your own personal choice for your theme or vibe, that’s perfect! For example, in the image above all the women are exuding personal style in their choices. It’s a united look, though, since they’ve all chosen neutral tones of white, cream and taupe to wear. Their color palette choice brings together the overall look in front of that stunning, bright background.
