Understated. Big, gaudy things just throw me off.

Over the top just shows how you are paying attention to the details of your wedding

Understated for me please. Although over the top can be stunning, I lean towards the more simple side and natural beauty.

Understated and minimal! Sometimes all that extra decor can be distracting.

Over the top is definitely beautiful but it’s not me. I like simple but gorgeous. With simplicity it makes the details pop whereas in over the top I feel like too much is going on to focus on the details

Omgosh, I would love to be over the top! But I am more of a simple person when it comes to everything.

We're both pretty laid back people. We don't care for over the top so understated is more our level.

It’s going to be over the top in some aspects. Our cake will be minimal but the flowers won’t or the food, etc
