A formal wedding is typically a black tie event where the bride is dressing in that classic Cinderella gown. Flowers are usually classic and white, and favors can range from a bottle of wine to personalized gifts with the Bride and Groom’s names and their wedding date. Music at a formal wedding is either a band or an orchestra. Invitations are usually on think paper and have some form of embossing or engraving. Typical places for a formal wedding are that of a country club, a dance hall, or an elegant city setting.

If you are someone who values elegance and radiance, a formal wedding might just be your ticket. If you don’t have a huge budget, you can still make a formal wedding look like it cost a million bucks with the right accessories and setting.
