romantic
The romantic bride takes the sentiment inherent in all weddings to a whole new level. Romance lives in the details: the notes of a particular love song heralding the bride’s entrance, references to the couple’s milestones in the table decor, or personalized vows that will make even the most stoic groomsman sniffle. The gown will likely involve lace, beading, embroidery, or all three.
As for the décor and venue? Think Bridgerton meets Disney princess. Everything will be soft and lush, with cascading florals in pink or purple and plenty of candles. It will be held at an old manor house or a hotel that feels like a castle (or an actual castle, if budget allows). There will absolutely be a guestbook, and friends and family shouldn’t hesitate to leave their most heartfelt messages. At the end of the evening, the couple might depart in a classic car or a horse-drawn carriage.
Vintage and vintage-inspired rings will win the romantic bride’s heart. Look for delicate embellishments, like filigree, engraving, and millegrain, as well as designs that carry symbolic meaning, like the two- stone toi-et-moi style that represents two becoming one, or a classic three-stone ring for past, present, and future. This couple will love the idea of engraving a secret message for each other inside their rings — and if the groom is smart, he’ll pick up a wedding day jewelry surprise to delight his romantic bride on the big day.
