WHY CHOOSE AN INDUSTRIAL STYLED WEDDING THEME?

Industrial styling is one of the most popular styles in weddings right now with so much versatility and lots of mix and match opportunities, it offers bucket loads of  inspiration to couples who are keen to get away from the traditional wedding ‘look’ and ‘feel’ and go for a theme that’s cool and reflects their own style. With more and more couples turning to Instagram and Pinterest for inspirational images to plan their day, it’s hardly surprising that this super cool theme is a big hitter this year.  It not only looks great, but is surprisingly easy to add a lot of small industrial details to your already industrial styled wedding venue or overall theme.

Exposed red brick walls, structural metal beams, timeworn wooden workbenches – these are the hallmarks of industrial chic style, especially when coupled with exposed Edison bulbs. Did we mention it’s super hot for weddings right now?
