The boho aesthetic is popular for a reason, so it’s natural you’re maybe looking for something similar that’s not quite the same—enter the Western wedding. A more desert-inspired, unique look, this decor aesthetic is perfect for the outdoorsy couple looking to plan a slightly hippie-esque ceremony with a bit of a rock and roll undertone. Succulents and warm earth tones punctuate this style, giving you a gorgeous range of neutrals to add pops of color to.

 

For a wedding as cool as a Western film, it only fits that you’d want a wedding dress that captures the effortlessly gorgeous effect of your decor. Perfect for the ever-so-cool bride, this simple, strapless A-line gown features a bold, thigh-high slit with a shorter skirt underneath, showing off your legs for a modern, flirty statement perfectly suited to a Western wedding.

Is your big dilemma on decor that you love the style of a traditional wedding, you just don’t think the classic white-and-soft-pink color scheme suits your personality? If you’re the kind of woman who watches a Wes Anderson film and falls in love with the bright, perfectly concocted color schemes, then why not plan a wedding with all the traditional decor elements, just in colors you love? A bright color palette will give your wedding a classic look, just in a more personalized style that will make you feel more yourself on your big day—not to mention it’ll give you that stunning, Wes-Anderson-film aesthetic that’ll look perfect in photos.

 

For a classic wedding with a bit of a twist, you’re going to want a dress that doesn’t fight the bright color palette. Something chic and simple, with a fun, unexpected detail that stands out. This trumpet gown is perfect, with a high neckline and gorgeous pearl detailing along the edges that gives it just enough detail without clashing with your busy decor. After all, what’s a better way to stand out than being the only one in white at your wedding?
