Boho

A greenery-filled bouquet is a boho wedding staple. Even with minimal flowers, fresh greens like eucalyptus look gorgeous and romantic.

Rocks, geodes and crystals add texture and detail to a bohemian tablescape. We're loving this cool centerpiece featuring a geode-moss combo.

Sure, you can use actual flowers to decorate your wedding cake, but an entirely sugar creation like this looks equally stunning. The ombré-style petals are so intricate!

An ethereal backless dress will totally wow the crowd at your bohemian wedding. Wear your hair loose and slightly undone, and carry a bouquet of dried lavender and wildflowers to complement the enchanted woodland wedding vibe.

Your centerpieces don't have to be symmetrical — in fact, the "undone" look goes along perfectly with bohemian wedding style, since it creats a natural, garden-inspired effect. The trick to really nailing this look is to use plants you'd find growing in the wild, such as foxglove, ivy, and jasmine.

Treat your guests to wedding favors that won't go to waste. We love these miniature bottles of gourmet olive oil. Look for a locally-made option to give out at your wedding, or create your own infused blend for a truly personal touch!

Modern

Add a dose of color to your wedding cake with bright blue ombré buttercream. The watercolor-inspired effect is so pretty, and a sparkly gold topper is the perfect finishing touch.

Decorate a white stationery suite with an abstract blue watercolor wash. Each invitation and reply card will look like a unique piece of art.

Illusion sleeves provide coverage in a modern and sexy way. These floral appliqués are just one take on the botanical wedding dress trend that we're loving so much right now.

Traditional with a twist: this white tuxedo jacket and black bow tie. Keep the look from feeling too formal by optiong for a slimmer fit and trendy accessories, like a greenery boutonniere or oversized watch.

Blue chargers bring a splash of color to an otherwise neutral wedding tablescape. We love how the rest of this place setting is subtle and minimal, with an air plant, calligraphy place card and gold details added for visual interest.

These long, light blue chiffon bridesmaid dresses are almost too pretty. We love how the barely-there hue creates a clean and bright wedding color palette against the bride's dress and the pink bouquets.

Classic

Your guests will feel like royalty with detailed place settings that feature opulent gold accents and individual laser-cut menu cards.

A black fondant wedding cake makes a major statement. The white rosettes and piping keep this four-tiered cake from looking too edgy.

Classic wedding centerpieces don't have to be perfectly shaped or symmetrical. This gorgeous garden-inspired arrangement feels totally elegant and sophisticated, thanks to the simple green, white and gold color palette.

Dress your 'maids in sequined gold gowns for an ultra-formal look. Not a fan of sparkles? Dresses in a matte, champagne-colored fabric, like chiffon or tulle, are equally chic.

No bride's ensemble is complete without her wedding day accessories, including a stunning pair of shoes. They don't have to perfectly match your wedding color palette, but it doesn't hurt either!

Lastly, what would a classic wedding be without the classiest drink of all? Keep the champagne flowing during your cocktail hour, or knock tradition and treat your guests to pre-ceremony drinks (like Lauren Conrad did at her wedding) to start celebrating even sooner.

Nautical

A hand-illustrated map, wax seal and gold calligraphy all bring a nautical, seafaring vibe to this invitation suite.

Pair coral and orange roses with hydrangeas and peonies for a nautical-meets-classic bouquet. Soft dusty miller and a navy blue striped bouquet wrap balance out the brighter colors.

Incorportate subtle nautical details throughout your wedding stationery suite, like this rope knot motif adorning a ceremony program.

Looking to switch things up from the oh-so popular blush or navy blue bridesmaid dresses? Mint green (or "seafoam" if we're keeping things nautical) is a lovely option. It's elegant and whimsical at the same time.

We're loving the bright, crisp combination of blue, coral and white on this tablescape. The mix-and-match china is great if you're going for a "vintage beach" theme, or you can opt for matching chargers instead to create a more traditional look.

You might think of a navy blue tuxedo as being strictly for black tie, but when you add a polka-dot bow tie and matching pocket square, the ensemble takes on a playful and relaxed vibe.

Rustic

Sunflowers are a quintessentially rustic choice. Carry a bouquet of standalone sunflowers, or pair them with roses, baby's breath, delphinium, and dusty miller for a charming countryside look.

Decorate your rustic wedding venue with wildflower-inspired wreaths. They look great displayed on barn doors, gates, sign posts, or even grouped together as a ceremony or sweetheart table backdrop.

Go for "modern rustic" with save-the-dates featuring watercolor greenery motifs. The soft green is an unexpected (and chic) take on our traditional rustic wedding color palette.

A self-serve refreshment station is a welcome sight for thirsty guests, especially during the summer months. Offer your favorite cold drinks, like Southern sweet tea or lemonade, as guests are taking their seats before the ceremony or mingling during cocktail hour.

Is it a true rustic wedding if there isn't a vintage pickup truck involved? If your venue doesn't already have one on the property, renting a truck is a unique way to personalize your rustic wedding.

Vintage

We can't imagine this type of cake ever going out of style. A simple white buttercream wedding cake is easily transformed when fresh flowers and succulents are added into the mix. Those roses = swoon!

This tone-on-tone bouquet is the stuff that our vintage wedding dreams are made of. Fluffy light pink peonies, garden roses, astilbe, ranunculus, and eucalyptus were all tied together with raw edge ribbons to create this pastel beauty. We can totally envision this arrangement at a springtime garden wedding.

Bring a touch of shimmer to a loose updo by accessorizing with a floral gold hair comb.

There's something about these elegant script table numbers that we can't resist — maybe it's because they look so pretty paired with a floral centerpiece and a collection of votives.

Take a blush wedding invitation to the next level by adding gold foil in a botanical pattern. The hint of metallic detail is just enough to wow your guests as soon as they open the envelope.

Dine in style by renting a pair of vintage chairs for your sweetheart or head table. The chairs are a special way to differentiate you and your spouse's seats from everyone else at the reception (you are the VIPs, after all). Personalize them even more by adding signage or greenery.
