Every bride has a different style. And every style has many different ways it can be described. The decision about wedding style typically comes after you have gotten over the initial excitement of being engaged and you’ve given some thought to what you want for your wedding. before you have formulated your wedding planning strategy, but after you have given thought to your  When I hear brides-to-be talk about the different styles, I feel like my head spins around on my shoulders. I wish there was a guide to this foreign language!

The horizontal axis shows the time-style that you would like to feature in your wedding – do you want to appear traditional (you’re an old soul living in a new world) or are you a bit more modern, even futuristic? The vertical axis shows the atmosphere you’d like to have at your wedding – do you want your guests to feel like they’re attending a formal event or that they’re at a backyard BBQ?
