2. Aesthetic Simplicity
A minimalist wedding aesthetic often looks more expensive than a cluttered one.
- Palette: Stick to neutrals or one bold accent color.
- Table Settings: Skip the charger plates. A nice napkin and menu card is enough.
- Flowers: Go for structural greenery or single-stem vases instead of massive arrangements.
3. Digital Over Physical
Reduce waste and clutter.
