Minimalist couples can set the tone for their wedding by choosing neutral shades for invitations and decor. Consider adding a variety of textures, fresh greenery, or metallic details to add personality while keeping your color palette subtle. The small, simple, thoughtfully planned touches will go a long way in creating the thematic tone you want every guest to enjoy.

When going for a minimalist wedding theme, choosing intentional details can make all the difference. Well thought out table decor can stand out, even when keeping it simple. Minimalistic looks are achieved by thoughtful selection of a few key items — place setting, linens, and a centerpiece. The addition of unique crystal and glassware accentuate any look from rustic to romantic and everything in between!

There are plenty of stunning minimalistic backdrops that enhance the ceremony rather than overtake it. A meaningful selection of color, flowers, greenery, or fabric can create a simple but memorable backdrop. Fabrics are a great way to add elegance, and subtle accents like picture frames or fresh flowers add extra charm.
