- If you answered mostly 1′s….your wedding Style may be Vintage.
Vintage brides often have things like old cars, recycled centerpieces, these ladies are eco-friendly and usually have favors that are useful such as jelly or jam. Think the flappers era…1920’s when women began doing things they wanted to do, dressing much more scandalous (for the time). Sometimes Vintage can also be your parents wedding….just give it a twist of you and make it a little more stylized vintage. Vintage wedding couples often see each other before the ceremony and really enjoy creating an atmosphere for their wedding story.

If you answered mostly 2’s…your wedding Style may be Modern.
The modern bride can mean many things as almost everything in our booming technological age is modern. Specifically we are talking about using colors like black, white, and red. Having the wedding professionally lit, using a chic venue, matching tall elaborate centerpieces. The modern bride wants to look sexy and often wears fancy shoes. The modern bride does Boudoir for her husband to be. Modern brides are destination wedding candidates because they do things the way they want to do them without concern for others views or tradition.

If you answered mostly 3’s…your wedding style may be Timeless.
Timeless brides are black tie brides. The bride that wants it all, and then some. A bride that follows the traditions, gets married in a huge catholic church. You aren’t jumping on the latest wedding trend bandwagon, you often have roses for your floral arrangements, enjoy a sit down individually plated meal, and have a classic band playing. These brides often enjoy working with a planner, their colors are seamless in-between the church and reception. They usually have a large bridal party and generally get married in an urban environment.

If you answered mostly 4’s…your wedding style may be Country Casual.
Country casual is very trendy right now. These brides will be married outside, often receptions are under tents in backyards, or in finished barns. The décor ranges from lanterns to table seating charts hanging from clothespins. The details at a country casual wedding really make the difference. They are a hodgepodge of ingredients and often have been collected for more than 12 months in advance of the wedding. Things like mason jars for the guests to drink from, old boxes to set the cards in, and birdcages for decoration. This is the type of wedding where women wear sun dresses and men wear silly socks with their kaki’s.

Wedding Guest Book or Sign In Ideas
Guest Book Ideas/Wedding Sign In
- Sea Glass (write a message on each piece and put it in a jar)
- Message in a bottle (get one large jar and have people write messages on paper roll them up and drop them in)
- Thumb Print Tree (have each person add their print to your tree as the leaves)
- Video Log (set up a computer and have people record little video messages…you can also use the flip cams)
- Sign in pot (everyone signs a large clay pot…that you can later plant an inside tree in)
- Use something unique, that means something to you Ideas include: surfboard, musical instrument, drift wood, movie case, sports team jersey or hat
- Something that can go on the wall (an old tool, an oar from a boat, an old knick knack you can frame after its been signed by guests)
- Have a designer do a custom poster for your wedding, and have people sign that
- Set up an old typewriter and have people type notes to you
- Have each person decorate a puzzle piece
- Have each person tie a ribbon with their message onto an old bicycle wheel
- Allow each guest to create their own pet rock for you (small) and then put them into a collectable frame.
- Have each person sign/leave a message on a tag tied to an old key (then you can hang all the keys in your house on the wall)
- Have your photographer create a custom book for you. It can include pictures from your engagement session as well as clips of your story.
- Another fun idea is to have a book with random questions people answer. Just makes for fun future reading. The photographer or the designer can help.
