When planning your wedding, it’s easy to get inspirationally overwhelmed to the point that you start to lose your way. Defining how you want your celebration to look and feel is crucial to keeping your day authentically you. (If you’re not big on formalities, why host a black-tie affair?) To help, we’ve created mood boards chock full of inspiration and information for three different wedding aesthetics. All you have to do is choose the one that’s right for you. This week: the avant-garde aesthetic. Confident, bold, and unafraid to break the wedding mold. Below are inspirational examples from real weddings, as well as products, that capture the mood.

“The oversized flower installations felt like a unique piece of art—they really popped against the natural florals. They created such a striking contrast while still complementing the fresh flowers beautifully.”
—Emily Ahlfinger, Petals Couture Floral & Event Design

“Each bridesmaid carried a monobloom bouquet that corresponded to her dress color. The bride’s bouquet was actually a combination of all the bridesmaids’ flowers.”
—Farhan Fallahi, Wedding Erah

“Our wedding cake was inspired by the first thing I ever baked Anthony: an orange cream cheesecake. We told our cake maker (Rifle & Pony) that we wanted an elevated version of that flavor profile.”
