Wedding Design Tip | Tell a Visual Story
Planning a wedding can easily turn into a shopping spree. “I love this and this and this…!” It’s so easy to do, you pick everything you fall in love with: dresses, shoes, invitations, linens, decor, etc. When you take a step back and look at all of your choices as a whole, as they will be seen on your wedding day, do they all tell the same story? Not everything has to match, but in order to throw a wedding that visually captures your guests and could be wedding blog or magazine-worthy, the design must be consistent. You should be able to hold any of your choices up to another and they should make the same statement. Telling a story is a phrase I’ve heard countless times as a designer; it’s like a theme, but more so, it portrays a feeling in a moment. It visually tells viewers about a person, a time, a place and an emotion, without speaking a single word. It is the easiest way to captivate an audience, to throw a wedding that becomes known for it’s details, and to help you keep your choices manageable as you plan your big day.

'Telling a story is a phrase I've heard countless times as a designer'
You said it! There's no better way to plan your wedding than to design it to who you both are. Deciding on the visual and aesthetic voice sets the tone of the whole day.
Nice boards Kelsey!
