    Understated, simplicity is very elegant and goes a long way.

    For me I feel that less is more. I love simplicity.

    I am more understated, but oddly enough do not love the picture! Lol! I think it's the chairs.

    Definitely understated. I love things that look simple but are actually really elegant- really elevates everything. The small, simple things seem like you put a lot of thought and effort into the decor.

    Understated. We’re very chill and low key as a couple

    I don't even know what understated means, but what I do know is that I like wedding that are nicely done so that everyone can enjoy it even the bride.

    Understated. It's simple and elegant. You are able to see the decorations without it clashing or overpowering the room

    Understated, started out planning over the top for everyone else and ditched it all. It just wasnt us.

    I'm in the middle. Some things look amazing very simple, but some things definitely need to be over the top!
