Transcript:How to Find Your Wedding Style

Hi Everyone! I'm Nicole Nassief from The Wedding League in Los Angeles, California, and I'm here today on behalf of About.com to talk to you about how to find your wedding style.

Finding Your Wedding Style

I love this question because this is something you have to find out in the very beginning process of planning your wedding. And I take my own clients through a 5-step quiz that will help them first to determine what type of couple you are, and then that will determine what type of wedding style you will have.

Categories of Wedding Style

Here at The Wedding League, we find that our couples typically fall into one of 4 categories, those categories being: Romantic couple that usually has a classy, elegant, think: candlelight type of a wedding; Life of the Party that they're going to have more of an upbeat, maybe lots of dancing type; a Traditional, which follows more of the cookie-cutter path, but still has a beautiful wedding; and then the Out of the Box couple that will have grand themes and surprises, definitely not something that you're going to find in your every day wedding. So with the questions that I'm going to walk you through, the answers correlate with the type of couple that you are so for example, if you answer all A's with all of my questions, you know that you're geared more towards the Romantic couple. Okay, are you ready? Go get your pen – we're going to walk you through the 5 different questions on how to find your couple style, which will then lead to your wedding style.

Wedding Style Answers

Perfect, so the last thing that you need to do is tally up all of your answers from the quiz. And there should be one letter that pops up the most and that will direct you to which couple style you are, and that will determine what wedding style you'll have. Now don't worry if a couple of different letters come up a lot, that's great, that means you can pick and chose a couple of different elements from the couple styles to create your perfect wedding.
