Season – Naturally, there’s elegance in every season. However, winter weddings more easily embody the minimalist, breathtaking feel of true refinement. If planning your wedding during late fall or winter, elegant wedding save the dates will fit the season.

Location Wedding venues often set the tone. While breweries and beaches are relaxed and joyous locales, true elegance shines through in formal venues. Ballrooms, museums, historic estates, and religious halls best fit this graceful aesthetic.
