Share

So many couples, especially now, want to keep their wedding design minimal, but what exactly does that mean? It means choosing a few interesting focal points and surrounding them with design elements that enhance them and make them pop, rather than compete. Photographer, Livia Bass, and a team of incredible vendors are here to show us how it’s done! 

Keep scrolling to see more photos by Livia BassLinda Wegmann Wedding planned every detail of this wedding inspiration and Lale Love created all of these incredible florals you’ll see throughout. This inspiration came to life at Villa Nomad Residency. All the images are in the full gallery, so be sure to click through and read on to hear more from photographer, Livia Bass.

WHY LESS IS MORE

Splendid table decorations, pompous flower arrangements, and frilly dresses-in today’s often hectic and consumerist times, the trend is moving away from “too much” and towards minimalism and consciousness, even when it comes to weddings.

Minimalist weddings are a wonderful trend, as they bring the focus back to the essential, the love between two people who have promised each other forever. But of course, even a minimalist wedding does not have to be done without decorations.
This styled shoot provides wonderful inspiration for a wedding that is minimalist yet very elegant. With a color concept in simple white and natural tones that runs through the whole design, delicate and festive accents can be set without the whole setup looking too cluttered.

QUALITY OVER QUANTITY

Quality is more important here than quantity. A simple bouquet of white roses and orchids looks incredibly elegant and does not distract from the radiant bride. Selected table decorations add a personal touch without appearing too restless or forced.

The same applies to the bride and groom. In a minimalist wedding, the high-quality fabrics of the wedding dress and suit are particularly effective. The wedding outfit can be simple. Straight wedding dresses without much tam-tam seem incredibly elegant and can be beautifully complemented with small details such as discreet jewelry. A light make-up, which underlines the natural beauty of the bride, perfects the minimalist bridal look. This styled shoot inspired me once again and showed me how much beauty and glamour can be found in simple things.
