Weddings as an Art Form – In Defence of All-Out Weddings
There’s something I’m really tired of being part of the wedding industry, and that’s seeing weddings that care about aesthetics being dismissed as shallow. If I see another snide comment about “the way it looks shouldn’t matter if you love each other,” I swear I’m going to scream. Yes, sure, some of the big weddings making the rounds on social media may be a lesson in how not to accidentally spend your entire house deposit—but let’s flip it. What if all that planning, all those meticulous details, were actually an outward expression of the couple? What if, instead of viewing it as excess, we see it as artistry?
Weddings as Creative Expression
A wedding is one of the most personal, large-scale creative projects you’ll ever undertake. It’s a celebration, yes, but it’s also a statement—a reflection of who you are, what moves you, and what you find beautiful. In the same way that artists pour themselves into their work, couples can craft a wedding that feels like an extension of their shared history and creativity. The venue, flowers, fashion and food can be so much more than just an “on-trend” checklist.
The Power of Intentional Wedding Details
The problem isn’t grand weddings or intricate details; it’s when those details are chosen mindlessly. If a decision is based more on tradition, the latest trends you’ve seen online, or what might impress people who weren’t even at your wedding, it can start to feel disconnected from what truly matters to you both. But when each choice is intentional—when the aesthetics and styling are a reflection of your personal taste and the way you choose to express yourselves, your wedding becomes art.
