The Wedding Chic Factor

Most wedding planners agree that extravagance is not equal to chic. Chic is determined by how your money is spent and not by how much you spend. In fact if you get an extravagant spend wrong, chic may very easily become kitsch.

This is good news for most brides and grooms – you don't have to spend a small fortune to have a chic wedding. Chic is actually quite simple – it hinges on the right timing, the right space and the right speed. It's a concept where the experience is everything and what defines experience is how personal it is and your attention to detail.
 
So, to guarantee ‘chic', choose one or two aspects of your wedding, consider the experience your guests will have through these aspects, personalize these aspects and pay attention to detail in executing them. Follow these guidelines and you will hit a good chic rating.

Personalization is very important. Guest names on top of menus, personalized bride and groom logos on menus, cocktails named after the bridesmaids, monograms on napkins, personalized notes in guest accommodation – there are loads of ways you can achieve personalization.

A structured way to approach the ‘wedding chic' factor is for the bride and groom to independently go through ideas for the wedding ceremony and wedding reception. Wedding ideas can be tagged with Post-It notes, different colors for likes and dislikes, which can then be reviewed. Joint likes and joint dislikes of the bride and groom can then be considered by a wedding planner or by the bride and groom themselves in coming up with those one or two aspects that you will execute with a high ‘chic rating' in mind.
 
So where are ‘chic' ideas sourced? More good news – numerous authors have written about the wedding chic factor and offer advice on how to achieve this. Without recommending any one author, a quick Google search on "wedding chic ideas" will set you on your way.

So in summary, your wedding budget is not necessarily correlated to the ‘chic' rating for your wedding. Focus on one or two aspects of your wedding and do them well – personal, memorable and paying attention to detail.
