Formal vs. Funky

Couples of all shapes and sizes are planning weddings here in Indy.  Some want traditional and some want off-the-charts different.  There are those that want to make a statement and those that want to quietly, and romantically celebrate with family and friends.  That is why I was inspired to put together this “Formal vs. Funky” breakdown.  

Oh...and I linked in some of my favorite local vendors!

Formal	Funky
2 shades of color	As many colors as you want! (reasonably)
Plated Dinner	Interactive Food Stations (with a flare!)
Photo Booths	Caricature Artist
Tight Curls	Loose Waves
Ballroom	Art Gallery
Posing for Photos	Photo Journalism
Candy Station	Chip Station! (YUM)
Limo	Vintage (TOP DOWN)
Boutineers and Coursages	Pocket Squares and Floral Bracelets
Send off	After party
Elegant Decor	Preppy Design
Photo Slideshow	Photo Wall (think of the possibilities!)
Band	Turntable DJ
1 beautiful gown	1 beautiful gown and 1 adorable getaway dress!
Church Ceremony	Backyard Ceremony (everyone has fond memories of where they grew up, and the backyard is becoming the biggest trend in venues right now!)
Solid-color	Patterned
Vanilla	FLAVOR (and not just in the cake!)

So, whether you are planning a very formal affair or a non-traditional, bold party (or something in between), it is important you realize that anything goes and that trends change daily.  Stick with what you and your fiancé love!  After all, this day will be your fondest memory together. 

Boldly Yours,

Lori
