Your Wedding Day Style, Your Way: How to Infuse Your Personality into Your Big Day

From Dress to Décor, A Guide to Creating a Wedding Steeped in Your Personal Style

Your wedding day is a celebration of your love and commitment, and it should reflect your unique personalities as a couple. While tradition plays a role for many couples, there’s a growing trend of incorporating personal style into every aspect of the wedding, from the ceremony to the reception décor.

For Sarah and Matthew, personal style merged perfectly with wedding day style. Informed by Sarah’s incredibly romantic Monique Lhuillier gown, their spring wedding at The Wilds provides a beautiful case for staying true to yourselves for your celebration. We hope that you read our top tips for exceptional wedding day style based on this wedding, beautifully photographed by Courtney Sinclair.

Finding Your Signature Style

The first step is to identify your individual style preferences. Are you drawn to classic elegance or whimsical romance? Do you gravitate towards bold colors or soft pastels? Look at your everyday outfits and the styles you gravitate towards for inspiration. Think about the spaces that you enjoy being in as well. Choosing a venue that naturally suits these preferences will make your decor-creation efforts far easier. At The Wilds, we provide a fresh canvas with thoughtful touches made to suit any wedding day style.

Wedding Attire That Reflects You

Your wedding attire is perhaps the most personal expression you can make on your big day. Ditch the pressure to conform to traditional expectations and instead, choose a gown, suit, or outfitting that makes you feel confident. 

For bride, Sarah, the answer was a true symphony of spring beauty in a floral print gown paired with the sweetest bow for her hair. For groom, Matthew, an ultra classic tuxedo brought Old Hollywood style to the rural Midwest. Both allowed their attire to provide the blueprint for their bridal party, with complementary pastel chiffon gowns for the bridesmaids and a quad of tuxedos for the groomsmen.

A Ceremony That Speaks to Your Hearts

The ceremony itself can also be personalized to reflect your values and beliefs. Write your own vows, incorporate cultural or religious traditions that are meaningful to you, or choose readings and music that resonate with your love story.

We loved Sarah and Matthews ceremony programs, personalized with lyrics from “seven” by Taylor Swift. Weaving meaningful music and art into your ceremony is a wonderful way to connect your guests with the daily touch-points of your love story.

Décor that Tells Your Story

Don’t stop at the attire! Let your personality shine through in your wedding décor as well. If you’re a bookworm, incorporate vintage books or literary quotes into your centerpieces. Are you a music enthusiast? Curate a playlist that reflects your taste and create a fun atmosphere at the reception. Let the things that bring you joy in your day-to-day as a couple flow into your cocktail hour and reception.

The magic design of this event was its English countryside feel with luxurious vintage touch-points. Floating cocktail tables draped in toile linens greeted guests following the ceremony before transitioning to our grand farmhouse tables. There, vintage glassware and romantic florals full of garden roses in soft spring colors set the tone for a lovely celebration.

Your Perfect Day, Your Wedding Day Style

Remember, your wedding day is about celebrating your love story. Don’t be afraid to break with tradition and incorporate elements that reflect your unique personalities. By infusing your personal style, you’ll create a wedding that is not only beautiful but also a true reflection of you as a couple.
