    Understated! A lot of time, less is definitely more! We will have some "wow" factors but I'm not going to stress over it!

    Understated, it can still be tasteful and nice but not too crazy

    Definitely understated. I'm mentally cringing at the over-the-top photo, but that's just me. Smiley smile

    Understated. I love the idea of minimal weddings. It is after all about the couple and not the decor.

    Understated but still elegant. But ultimately it`s about us and our guests, not huge cakes and centerpieces you can`t see around.

    I think there needs to be a bit of a mixture I don’t like or want to go too over the top but then I don’t want to be to simple.

    I cant decide! I really think it needs to be a healthy balance - i would love to go over the top on some of the decorations and the dress, but understated on the table settings and the ceremony decorations.
