  Ceremony Ideas

  Consider personalizing your ceremony with a "fight box" or "wine box." How it works: During the ceremony, fill a wooden box with a bottle of wine, two glasses, and handwritten letters expressing why you fell in love with one another. Then, you both hammer it shut with nails, and promise not to open it until your first major argument or a milestone anniversary (whichever comes first).

  Reception Ideas

  Entertaining games are a mainstay of laidback country nuptials, and one of our favorites is "The Shoe Game." During the reception, remove both of your shoes, then trade a shoe with your new spouse so that you’re holding one of each. Then, have a designated person ask a series of questions about the two of you and your relationship (i.e.. “Who will be doing most of the cooking?” "Who said 'I love you' first?"). After each question, hold up the shoe of the person you think is the best answer to the question.

25 Beautiful Bespoke Wedding Gifts

  Asymmetrical -165419

  Play up an intricate one-shoulder neckline with straight-as- can-be locks falling neatly behind your shoulders. Eva Scrivo says, “Pin-straight hair with a center part will add balance to an asymmetrical dress and let the shoulder detail take center stage.”

  Photo Credit: Tom Rauner 

• 

  

  Bateau

  “With a bateau neckline, it’s best to wear the hair up to showcase the dress and create clean lines at the shoulders,” says Kelsey Smart, stylist at Fox & Jane Salon. “Opt for a loosely textured updo with volume at the crown to soften the look.”

  Photo Credit: Tom Rauner 

• 

  

  Sweetheart

  The sweetheart neckline epitomizes classic bridal style, so a polished, romantic ’do is always a natural fit. Stylist Triana Francois at Haven Spa recommends soft, glamorous curls to balance out bare shoulders and add an extra dose of allure to your look.

• 

  

  Off The Shoulder

  Showcase your shoulders with an oh-so-elegant, softly swept- up style. “I love an un-fussy updo with a lacy dress,” Kelsey Smart says. “It draws attention to the eye-catching, off-the-shoulder neckline and gives the gown a fresh, youthful vibe.”

  Photo Credit: Tom Rauner 

• 

  

  Plunge

  Edward Tricomi, master stylist and co-founder of Warren- Tricomi Salons, suggests pairing loose, flowing waves with a plunging neckline. “Waves will balance out the revealing neckline,” Tricomi says. “Plus, the texture will add dimension to the look.”

  Photo Credit: Tom Rauner 

• 

  

  High Neck

  Avoid anything sleek or severe if your dress has a high neckline and long sleeves. According to Kelsey Smart, “Flowers and loose tendrils allow a high-neck dress to look whimsical rather than overly buttoned-up. They’re like a breath of fresh air.”

• 

  

  Scoop Neck

  Pair a scoop neckline with ultra-chic waves for a fresh take on old-Hollywood glamour. According to Eva Scrivo, founder of Eva Scrivo Salons, “An off-center upsweep with most of the hair on one side accentuates the softness of a scoop neck beautifully.”
