Wedding Style Watch: HIP & ARTSY

A hip and artsy wedding style means you may be the couple who loves to accessorize, and you drool over pillows with funky designs and city lofts with exposed brick.  Bottom line:  You don't want your wedding to look too wedding-y.

Your Details
-- Let your venue set the tone for your unique wedding style.  Look into renting your favorite restaurant downtown or the atrium of your favorite art museum.

--  Choose an unexpected color palette.  A few ideas:  bright orange, steel gray and white; green and turquoise with pops of yellow; or eggplant and candy apple red.

-- Hire a live band for your cocktail hour and reception.

--  Come up with a statement-making decoration for the reception.  Maybe it's an oversized chalkboard banner with a meaningful movie quote and your names and wedding date.  it could also be a patterned fabric that you thread throughout - from the ceremony aisle to the table linens.

Watch Out For
With all of the fun, unique details, it can be tough to keep the style from looking messy and scattered.  Stick to a color palette of no more than 3 to 4 colors and come up with a design (like your initials, thumbprints, a colorful patterned fabric or even a favorite album cover) to keep the wedding day details looking cohesive.
