If you chose mostly As:
Your Style: Your emphasis is on the deep significance of the wedding celebration. Although you want a wedding that is striking and elegant and you like to keep up with the latest trends in fashion, the meaning of the day is what truly matters to you.
Ideas: You might enjoy a wedding theme that involves such traditional symbols of love and marriage as roses, wedding bells, young sweethearts or doves. Decorating with tulle and white lights adds a classic look that is beautiful without being distracting. Roses, hydrangeas and lilies are popular flowers that add touches of class and color without overwhelming the room. Also, look for new spins on some of those familiar wedding practices to help you honor tradition in a more modern way.
If you chose mostly Bs:
Your Style: You like all things stunning and beautiful! Even though you believe strongly in committing to your love and the vows of marriage, you see your wedding as a chance to throw the ultimate in extravagant parties.
Ideas: You might consider a more upscale wedding theme, such as gold or platinum. Simple accessories and accents of one precious metal or the other suggest richness and finery. Large calla lilies are an excellent flower choice. Consider accenting guest book and gift tables with classy black-and-white photos of you and your future spouse in silver rhinestone frames.
If you chose mostly Cs:
Your Style: You are a cost-conscious bride. Although keeping within a budget is one of your top priorities, you don’t want to sacrifice beauty or style.
Ideas: Consider simply beautiful themes such as wildflowers, daisies, hearts, snowflakes or autumn leaves. These themes often allow you to decorate with inexpensive articles such as fall foliage, apples, pinecones, wheat stalks, seeds and the like. Consider bouquets of your favorite flowers with inexpensive daisies and greens added throughout to add fullness and color. Investigate suggestions for further decorating on a budget.
If you chose mostly Ds:
Your Style: You like to move to the beat of your own drum. You would rather be considered off-the-wall and a little wacky than be labeled as ordinary. You want people to remember you and your wedding. Your goal for your wedding is to have fun — and as much of it as possible.
Ideas: Since you are not afraid to color outside the lines, try decorating with bold colors and/or patterns. Who says weddings have to be white? Themes for you can include anything from an outdoor, flower child celebration to a Vegas-style casino party. Try decorating with groupings of wildflowers or even cattails in large corner vases. Or leave out flowers altogether for something like ribbon or muslin wall hangings. Consider putting together your own hand-made invitations for a look that can never be replicated.
