Less is more–we’re sure you’ve heard this countless times already. The increase in minimalist weddings these days is proof enough that you really don’t need a lot of decoration–or very luxurious ones–to achieve a stunning wedding day. You can still have an utterly romantic and memorable wedding even with details that are more toned down. If you love the minimalist trend but are still clueless as to how to achieve such a wedding, this style guide is exactly what you need! In this feature, we break down the essential elements behind an ultra chic minimalist wedding.
(1) Consider a bouquet with minimal foliage. Pick flowers that are striking on their own, like tulips or orchids!

(2) Keep your table looking clean. You can still add decorations and flowers, but the overall look should still look neat. You can stick to neutral colors to tone down the decorations.

(3) Make your floral installations feel more like a part of the scenery rather than a decoration that stands out. If you want to accentuate your venue without overdoing it, think of how your flowers can subtly enhance the existing look.

(4) Keep your stationery elegant by avoiding bright colors or fonts that are too elaborate. Creams and pastels paired with metallic details usually look extra chic.

(5) Look for a wedding dress that has minimal to no embellishment but fits you very well. The trick to pulling off a simple dress is making sure that it fits you well.

(6) Complete your bridal look with classic shoes. Sleek pumps will do, so will classic strappy white stilettos.

(7) You can forgo a towering cake and go with a single-tier cake that’s adorned with just a few flowers. A small cake is okay! What really matters is that it tastes superb.
