Understated is so elegant and lovely! Also, I wouldn't want the decor to take away from the beauty of the venue.

Understated and classy. We’ve got bold colors and lots of decor, but no glitz and glam. It’s all about editing!

My personal style is more understated, but I am always in awe over the over the top amazing decor some brides have.

This is a tricky one. Over the top can come off as guady if theres waaaay too much. But overall for a wedding, I do like over the top if it's done right.
