Dueling Wedding Styles
One of the best ways to figure out your own wedding style is to see two very different approaches side by side. That’s exactly what we’re doing here. Emily and Philip’s museum wedding, all clean whites, muted linens, and soft feminine touches, goes head to head with Samantha and Tony’s celebration, built around contrasting dark and light colors and a consistent thread of sparkle throughout. Both were May weddings. Both were stunning. Only one might be your style.
Use this as inspiration for your own Salt Lake City wedding, whether you’re drawn to the airy, romantic look of a museum or gallery venue, or the dramatic contrast of a grand church ceremony followed by an urban reception.
Wedding Party Style
These two brides both chose a classic white gown with a sweetheart neckline. Emily (on the left) opted for lace details while Samantha (right) chose sparkle on top with a quieter tulle skirt. Emily’s bridesmaids wore soft mauve dresses, and Emily’s wore darker navy, each with pops of flowers in their bouquets to match. The groomsmen echoed this look with lighter versus darker ties and both grooms in white ties.
Ceremony & Reception Venues
Emily and Philip had their ceremony and reception in the same location, a clean modern museum. Samantha and Tony’s ceremony was at a grand church which provided an intricate beautiful background for their ceremony. They switched it up for their reception held at an urban venue where they added their own festive details!
Wedding Details & Decor
Seen to left are some of Emily’s soft pink and feminine touches. Samantha had navy details throughout giving a more masculine look with her own addition of sparkle tied in.
Wedding Cake
On to the yummies… we loved both of these three-tiered white cakes so much! 🙂 Emily added some color with both pink and white roses and Samantha added her sparkle with a glitter custom cake topper. How adorable are the fluffy elements around each cake as well! (Emily’s backdrop and Samantha’s table linen)
