· Traditional or Classic
You may have heard the wedding rhyme “Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue and a sixpence in your shoe” A traditional or classic wedding typically includes the couple marrying in a church or in a religious like setting with the bride in an all white princess ball-gown wedding dress and the groom in black tie and tuxedo. The rhyme “Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue” refers to the things a bride is supposed to wear on her wedding day to have a successful marriage.

A romantic wedding is accentuated by elegant details and small sweet touches. A wedding is always romantic in most arrangements so the idea of a romantic wedding will be different from couple to couple.

The boho wedding style can range from casual beach to romantic countryside and includes carnival, woodland and free-spirited festival.

· Vineyard
In recent years, vineyard wedding venues have become increasingly popular. They’re particularly dreamy and romantic, and have lots of desirable amenities, ample outdoor space, and plenty of gorgeous backdrops for your wedding photos.
