It goes without saying that your wedding should reflect your personal style, but harness what you have. supposed<\/em> Having the most important day of your life is surprisingly difficult. Classic, cool, chic, unique: everyone wants to create a certain mood and ensure the day is as memorable for the guests as it is for them. But when presented with options for all the details (invitations, dress, flowers, cake, music, venue…), the list is truly endless, so even the most decisive people can suffer long-term decision paralysis. <\/p>\n I spoke to two brides-to-be with very different styles about their desires for their respective big days. I know both of them very well, as they are part of the Who What Wear UK team. Our managing editor and resident bride with traditional tastes, Poppy Nash, is getting married at the end of September this year. She, like her style, is sophisticated, minimal, and polished \u2014 I expect her wedding spreadsheet to be just as diligently organized, curated, and color-coded as the wedding itself.<\/p>\n Sophie Cookson, our in-house insights analyst and token cool girl, is more alternative. Yes, she works in data, but she’s also an eclectic (though always chic) \u200b\u200bdresser, vintage fanatic, and lover of colors. Although Sophie and her partner Jack haven’t set a date or found a venue yet, they have a pretty good idea of \u200b\u200bwhat they want (and what they don’t want). <\/p>\n When you work in a female-dominated industry like fashion, you hear a lot of anecdotes about your coworkers’ lives, about everyday things as well as bigger things. Like, when one of them (or two in this case) is planning a wedding, you get to hear about it from the inside. I can guarantee that these two women would love to create very contrasting marriages, while sharing the same desire to celebrate love, happiness, and family. From flowers and venue to dress and decor, these are the (very different) elements on their wedding mood board that will provide their dream day. <\/p>\n (Image credit: Who Wears What)<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n “When it comes to style, mine is quite classic with a touch of ‘pretty’. My colleagues joke that I’m sometimes allergic to colors because my taste in interiors and sense of style is very neutral, so it felt right that our wedding reflected this. If I had to describe the vibe, it would be classic, minimalist and English garden, with lots of white linen and simple stationery,” says Poppy.<\/p>\nThe “Traditional” Bride: Poppy Nash <\/h2>\n
