Once the venue is booked, it’s time to make the creative choices that reflect your style—from flowers and food to bridal party fashion and send-off celebrations.
Below, we’re breaking down four popular wedding planning decisions to help you make the day truly yours.
1. Pastel Flowers vs. Bright Flowers
Pastel Flowers: Romantic & Timeless
Soft tones like blush, lavender, and sage offer a romantic, vintage feel. They pair beautifully with St. George’s natural desert tones and our venue’s light-filled spaces.
Best for:
Spring weddings
Elegant or vintage themes
Garden-inspired palettes
Bright Flowers: Bold & Joyful
Coral, fuchsia, tangerine, and turquoise bring energy and vibrance. They pop against The Aster’s neutral palette and the surrounding red rock views.
Best for:
Summer or fall weddings
Boho or tropical vibes
Couples who love a festive flair
2. Buffet-Style Meal vs. Seated Dinner
Buffet: Casual & Crowd-Friendly
A buffet lets your guests choose what they love and encourages mingling. Great for large groups and serving without a staff.
Why couples love it:
More flexible for dietary needs
Budget-friendly
Laid-back, social atmosphere
Seated Dinner: Elegant & Structured
A plated meal offers a more formal experience with timed courses and personalized service, ideal for weddings inside The Aster’s large gathering space.
Perfect for:
Intimate guest counts
Formal or black-tie events
Couples who want a refined feel
3. Matching Bridesmaids Dresses vs. Mismatched Styles
Matching Dresses: Classic & Cohesive
Choosing the same dress color and style for all bridesmaids creates a clean, elegant look—especially striking in formal portraits taken in front of our modern venue design.
Best for:
Traditional or minimal weddings
Smaller bridal parties
Mismatched Dresses: Stylish & Personalized
Letting bridesmaids choose different shades within a palette (like muted pastels or vibrant tones) brings texture and individuality to your wedding photos.
Ideal for:
Modern, boho, or casual weddings
Large bridal parties
Personal expression and comfort
4. Sparkler Exit vs. Bubble Send-Off
Sparkler Exit: Magical & Photogenic
A sparkler send-off outside The Aster creates a glowing, unforgettable finish. It’s a dreamy way to end the night—and looks amazing on camera.
