Classic and elegant
Timeless, polished and a little bit grand.
You want a wedding that will look as good in photos in thirty years as it does on the day: a beautiful room, a proper sit-down dinner, a first dance everyone watches. Nothing trendy, everything done well.

Venues to look for
Look at estates with a ballroom or a big glass function room, country hotels and venues with a grand staircase or a long driveway for arrivals. See venues on EWS.
Where to start
Start with these: most of your other choices depend on them.
Classic weddings live or die by timing: a long plated dinner needs a tight programme, so agree on it with your MC and photographer early.
Share it
Send it to your partner and see if you agree, or to your bridesmaids so they know what you're picturing.
Keep planning
Make a free wedding website in your colours, plan the day with the timeline builder, see what things cost with the budget planner, or look at real weddings for ideas.
The other styles: relaxed garden, farm wedding, modern and minimal, big family celebration, small and romantic.
