If you’re planning your wedding and wanting your special day to be one you look back on for years to come, then we’ve gathered the perfect tips and tricks for you! Read below for our top 10 ideas on how to create a wedding that will stand the test of time:

1. Select A Modern & Timeless Venue

An outdoor wedding altar with a white frame and pillars on a grassy hill, leading to a concrete path and rows of chairs.

If you ask any planner, they’ll be quick to say your first step is the space you choose for your wedding day! While design elements can help bring that timeless look to life, your venue is what really sets the tone for your entire event… and also the backdrop for all of your photos!

2. Choose White & Green Florals

A long dinner table set for an event with green tablecloths, white plates, gold cutlery, and lush green floral centerpieces.

One thing is for sure… you can never go wrong with bright white floral arrangements with pops of greenery! This color palette has timeless and classic written all over it and won’t ever leave you wondering “What was I thinking?” years down the road.

3. Be Picky Choosing Your Photographer!

A bride and groom stand on a grassy hill at Prospect House, looking up at a dramatic sky filled with textured mammatus clouds.

You could have it all, the perfect venue, planner, florals and color palette, but so much of your wedding style and vibe for the day is captured by your wedding photographer. So… take the time to scroll through that long list of people you have saved on Instagram and be intentional with selecting the perfect one that fits you and your fiance’s personality and style!

4. Stick With A Soft Color Palette

Flat lay of wedding stationery, a blue ring box, floral accents, and a photo of a couple on a light textured background.

Bright, neon colors might be the new trend but who knows how long kelly green and barbie pink will be in? If you are really want to ensure that your wedding day is one that will still be desired for years to come, then we recommend sticking with more sophisticated and elegant colors like classic taupe and french blue!

5. Choose A Classic Wedding Attire

There are so many beautiful dresses out there to pick from but just like trendy colors, who knows how long some of these new wedding dress styles will be around. One of the most important elements of your wedding is your dress so if we could give you any piece of advice it’s to be picky and wait for the perfect classic gown to come around!

6. Have A Black-Tie Dress Code

A group of nine men in matching black tuxedos stand in a line before a modern building with large glass windows.

Just as your wedding dress will have an impact on the overall feel of your day, so will your guests attire! A black-tie dress code automatically creates an elevated look for your event and will have you loving all your guests wedding looks way down the line.

7. Add The Champagne Tower

An elegant wedding reception detail that we don’t see going anywhere anytime soon! Serve your favorite bubbly to all your guests moments after capturing the cutest photo pouring it down your champagne tower!

8. Ask For All The Black & White Photos!

Nothing says classic and timeless like black and white photos! After carefully selecting the perfect photographer, you will want to make sure you request all the black and white photos from your celebration!

9. Incorporate Lots Of Candles

A wooden dining table decorated with white floral centerpieces and lit pillar candles, set against a wooden slat wall.

Little details are so important for creating the overall feel of your day and candles are huge! Whether it’s dinner for 200 people or just one long table, candlelight creates an intimate atmosphere which transforms a space.

10. Use A Checkered Dance Floor

People in formal attire dance and converse on a black and white checkered floor in a dimly lit, elegant room.
