There are so many wedding trends circulating online currently, and one of the most popular features is soft lighting, neutral colours and a whimsical feel. If this light and airy wedding style is the most pinned to your Pinterest board, you might wonder how you can re-create this within your budget. As a Birmingham UK based wedding photographer and filmmaker, I’m going to show you how to plan the light & airy wedding of your dreams!

Venue Choice

One of the main factors to consider that has the most significant impact is your venue. When visiting different venue options for your light and airy wedding, look for large windows, spacious rooms, light-coloured walls and furniture. Avoid small, dark spaces with small windows. Your venue is the main environment on your wedding day, and how this space feels will impact so many different choices you make.

Location

Besides the indoor feel of your venue, you also want to consider its surrounding elements for your light & airy wedding. An ideal location would be a large open space with non-distracting backgrounds. Ensure the location avoids streets, parked cars and other busy background elements. When you get your photos back after the big day, you’ll be glad you thought this through!

Your Colour Palette

Once you have your venue and location planned to perfection, you’ll want to ensure that your decorations match the vibe of your light & airy wedding. To keep this consistent, you’ll want to pick neutral or pastel colours instead of dark or bright colours. Your colour palette is what puts together the groomsmen’s and bridesmaids’ wardrobe, plus all of your flowers, decorations, stationery, etc., so you want to make sure it matches the feel you envision.

Photographer

After you’ve spent so much energy planning your light & airy wedding, it would be disappointing to get your wedding photos back only to find out your photographer edited them to look dark and harsh! When choosing a photographer for your light & airy wedding, ask questions about their editing style and look heavily into their portfolio to see if you like their past work.

All in all, when you are researching how to plan a light & airy wedding, it doesn’t have to cost unreasonably. Everything comes down to the details that you choose and your photographer. If you consider these main factors while planning, you’ll be sure to have the light & airy wedding of your dreams!
