From Moodboard to Magic: Finding Your Wedding Style

As you begin planning your wedding, one of the very first steps is to find inspiration in something to help you envision the atmosphere, aesthetic, and experiences you want to create on your special day. But with endless ideas flooding social media, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed.

As wedding planners, we understand this all too well. That’s why we always aim to make the process feel more personal and less daunting. One of the first things we often suggest is creating a simple moodboard. This becomes the foundation for building a beautiful, emotionally rich wedding design that reflects your story, your style, and the little personal touches that hold meaning for you whether it’s your love story, shared interests, or nostalgic memories.

INSTAGRAM – A SOURCE OF INSPIRATION AND CONNECTION

Instagram isn’t just a hub for beautiful wedding imagery it’s also a place to discover a community of couples on similar journeys. It’s an incredibly useful tool for exploring different aesthetics, getting to know new trends, and researching vendors both in Vietnam and internationally.

Instead of rushing into decisions about themes or booking services right away, take your time to follow accounts that align with your vibe and engage with content that excites you. This not only helps refine your personal style but also makes it easier to find wedding planners or vendors who truly match your taste.

PINTEREST – YOUR VISUAL STYLE MAP

Pinterest remains a go-to platform for couples seeking visual inspiration. Before reaching out to vendors or stylists, create a dedicated board and start pinning images that resonate with you color palettes, tablescapes, floral styles, lighting ideas, wedding stationery, cakes, and more.

Doing this helps define your wedding style whether it's soft and romantic, bold and modern, vintage-inspired, minimalist, or detailed and elaborate. Once you’ve nailed down the look and feel you’re going for, it becomes much easier to communicate your vision to your wedding team, who can then expand on those ideas and create something truly personal and unforgettable.

Tip: Add the Pinterest browser extension to Chrome so you can pin images from anywhere Instagram, wedding websites, blogs, or online magazines. The more you use Pinterest, the better its algorithm becomes at curating images that match your taste.

VENUE – THE FOUNDATION OF YOUR WEDDING EXPERIENCE

The venue you choose has a direct impact on your wedding design and the overall experience for your guests. That’s why your decision shouldn’t be based on appearance alone it should also align with how you want your day to feel and the overall vision you have in mind.

Every venue carries its own unique character. For example, a luxury hotel wedding in Ho Chi Minh City might feel chic, glamorous, and fast-paced. Meanwhile, a beachside wedding in Hoi An, a colonial villa in Da Lat, or a forest clearing surrounded by pine trees might offer a sense of intimacy, calm, and a slower, more heartfelt pace perfect for an intimate wedding.

We’ve helped plan a wedding in Phu Quoc inspired by the vivid golden sunsets over the ocean, and another in Da Lat designed around a “cloud and forest” concept born from the couple’s first getaway together. In many cases, a single favorite location becomes the central muse for the entire wedding concept.

YOUR PERSONAL STYLE & FAVORITE BRANDS

In our first meeting with couples, we often ask about their favorite fashion styles or lifestyle brands. That’s because the way you dress whether modern, minimalist, classic, or feminine gives us insight into your aesthetic and the emotional tone you want to bring into your wedding.

It might be as simple as a soft pastel color palette you gravitate toward in your outfits, or your love for raw linen textures when decorating your home. Small details like these can absolutely become part of your wedding concept. It’s how we make sure your wedding doesn’t just look like something off Pinterest but feels completely, authentically you.

DRAW INSPIRATION FROM YOUR OWN STORY

The most meaningful weddings are the ones that reflect who you are as a couple. Your roots, your shared memories, and the people who’ve shaped your journey together all of these can inspire a truly heartfelt concept. We always dedicate time to explore this part with you in the design process.

Here are a few examples:

- One couple chose Da Lat as their wedding theme, drawing from their very first date there the mist, the cool breeze, and that early morning coffee that brought them closer.

- Another used hand-drawn illustrations by the bride’s grandfather, a painter, to design their invitations and ceremony backdrop.

- One wedding was inspired by the music festival where the couple met bright, vibrant florals brought the joyful energy of that day to life.

Wherever your inspiration comes from an image, a location, or even just a color palette as long as it holds meaning for you, that’s the perfect place to start. From there, we’ll help you thoughtfully weave everything together into a wedding design that’s beautiful, cohesive, and emotionally resonant.
