When our bride came to us to plan her wedding, she originally wanted a classic white wedding. She showed me a gorgeous white arch by Eric at Dolce Fiori which became the catalyst for our design. As she began to study my work she recognized the beauty in a non-traditional wedding. In face

1. Embrace and Celebrate Unique Styles

Incorporating Elements from Both Tastes

When planning a wedding that reflects two distinct styles, it's essential to embrace and celebrate each partner's preferences. Integrate meaningful elements and symbols from each style into the ceremony and reception. This not only honors each partner's individuality but also creates a rich, unique experience for guests.

2. Find Common Ground in Shared Interests

Blending Personal Interests and Hobbies

Identify shared interests and hobbies that can serve as a unifying theme for the wedding. Whether it's a mutual love for a particular type of music, a favorite book or movie, or a passion for travel, finding common ground helps create a cohesive and personalized wedding theme that resonates with both partners.

3. Design with Duality in Mind

Creating a Cohesive Aesthetic

Balance the aesthetic elements by blending colors, styles, and décor that reflect both tastes. For example, if one partner loves modern elegance and the other prefers rustic charm, find ways to incorporate elements of both into the design. This could mean pairing sleek, contemporary table settings with rustic floral arrangements or combining minimalist invitations with handcrafted details.

4. Compromise and Collaborate

Navigating Differences with Grace

Successful wedding planning involves compromise and collaboration. Engage in open and honest conversations about each partner's vision and be willing to make adjustments. Embrace the "Yes, and" approach, a concept borrowed from improv comedy, which encourages acceptance and building upon each other's ideas. Rather than saying "no" or "but," use "yes, and" to validate your partner's suggestions and find creative ways to incorporate both visions. Consider hiring a professional wedding planner like those on our team at Center of Attention Events who specializes in eclectic weddings to help navigate and blend diverse elements seamlessly.

5. Personalize Every Detail

Making the Wedding Truly Your Own

Ensure that every detail of the wedding reflects the couple's unique journey and story. Personalize elements such as the vows, the menu, and the music to highlight the individuality and unity of the couple. Incorporating personal anecdotes, family heirlooms, and bespoke touches can make the wedding day profoundly meaningful and memorable.
