Choosing a wedding style is one of the first and most exciting steps in creating your dream day. Once you have your vision in mind, everything else falls into place — from selecting the perfect decor to finding matching invitations and the ideal venue.

The best part is making your theme reflect your and your partner’s unique story and personalities. Want something dreamy and whimsical? Consider a glamorous fairytale wedding in a castle. Would you prefer a laid-back celebration in nature? Think about a country wedding with farm animals and elements from the great outdoors. Want to keep things classic? A traditional wedding is a great option, or if you’re more contemporary, a modern wedding is your best bet.

Not sure which theme speaks to you? We’ve brought together a few of our favorite wedding styles so you find the right one to tell your love story. We’ll show you how each style can shape your planning process and highlight beautiful invitations to bring your vision to life.

There is a formal way to address wedding invitations, and we’re happy to walk you through it. The questions may already be bubbling up in your own mind: Whose name should you write first? How do you tell single guests whether they’re welcome to bring a plus one? How do you invite a whole family?

All of these questions — and probably a few others — are about to be answered. But before you write the addresses for each person on your guest list, we’ll talk about envelopes.
