One of the most breathtaking features of WH is the intentional use of negative space. It creates endless possibilities for design—whether you want to go all out with decor or embrace the simplicity trend we’ve been seeing as we step into 2025 and 2026.
Minimalistic design, when done tastefully, transforms your wedding into a high-end, luxurious experience. By embracing the white space and scaling back on excessive details, you can set a refined, elegant tone for your big day.
3 Ways to Use Negative Space in Your Wedding Design
1. Keep the Palette Neutral
Opt for soft tones like ivory, beige, and earth tones, and let subtle details like gold accents or subtle linen textures add dimension. For example, pair simple textured linen with the glow of candles for a clean, elegant look.
2. Highlight Key Architectural Features
Westwind Hills’ giant arched window is the perfect example of using negative space effectively—it’s a stunning ceremony backdrop that stands beautifully on its own. Add minimal decor, like a simple floral installation or candles, to enhance the space without taking away from its impact.
3. Use Statement Decor Sparingly
Choose a few bold elements, such as tall, dramatic floral arrangements at your reception entrance or a sleek, modern head table. Let these pieces command attention while keeping the rest of the space open and uncluttered for a luxurious, airy feel.
Sometimes, less truly is more. Proof in the photos.
