How do I create a wedding design?

Even if you’ve only just started planning your wedding, you’re surely already immersed in the wonderful world of wedding inspiration. One idea follows another, and every wedding photo spread online is more beautiful than the last. What’s the secret to a beautifully designed wedding? A cohesive concept that runs through everything from start to finish—down to even the smallest details. The common thread. It creates a stunning look, a wonderful atmosphere, that certain something, and a cohesive structure. We’ll show you how to find that common thread and create a wedding design concept.

1. The Color Scheme

First and foremost, you should sit down together and think about which colors you like and which you don’t. Ideally, the colors you choose should match the season—in spring, softer colors are typically used, while in fall, it’s perfectly fine to go for darker and bolder hues. You should also take the seasonality of flowers into account here, since some flowers—and thus some colors—are either unavailable or hard to find (and therefore more expensive) during certain times of the year.

2. The Style

There are many different wedding styles, such as boho, vintage, minimalist, classic, or fine art. Ideally, the wedding style should be chosen to complement the venue. If you’re getting married in a castle, you’ll likely prefer the fine art style over a boho wedding. But a deliberate break from tradition can, of course, be exciting as well. Among our wedding inspirations “made in Austria,” you’re sure to find a style or two that you’ll love.

3. The Mood Board

Create a mood board. The easiest way to do this is on Pinterest. There, you can create separate boards for different color schemes and styles, search for relevant images, and add them to the respective board. It’s important to search for all the different elements that go into a wedding. Don’t just look for flowers—also search for invitations, the wedding cake, and accessories. This way, you can see each color scheme with all its details at a glance, compare the options, and make a decision together with your partner.

4. Areas of Application

Determine the areas where the wedding design concept should be applied. Should it be reflected mainly in the decorations and flowers? Or should the invitations and the cake also be designed to match? Should the bridesmaids’ dresses match the color of the groom’s bow tie and the bride’s shoes? Or how about a dress code for all guests, such as a blue accessory or black and white?

Having a mood board on hand is very helpful not only for you, but also for your vendors. It allows them to easily interpret your wishes correctly, ensuring that your wedding design is brought to life exactly as you envision it—and that your wedding turns out so harmonious and beautiful that it might even inspire other brides on Pinterest.
