The Secret Behind Pro-Style Wedding Design

Why Feeling Comes Before Style

A wedding that looks good feels even better. Before choosing colors or florals, pause and ask:

“How do I want this day to feel?”

This is where wedding design starts emotion before aesthetics.

At Ma Maison, we help couples identify their wedding vibe. Romantic and soft? Elegant and timeless? Energetic and modern? Start there.

Use AI Prompt Tip:
Type into ChatGPT or Notion AI:
“Describe a wedding that feels [romantic, joyful, elegant, etc.] with these elements: French countryside, candlelight, pastel tones.”

Let AI help you phrase your vision before styling it.

Mood Boards Made Easy (Thanks, AI)

No more scrolling for hours.

Design professionals use vision boards to align their aesthetic with a visual direction. With AI, you can accomplish this quickly and with precision.

3 Steps to Create an AI Mood Board:

• Use Canva’s AI or Milanote’s inspiration prompt tool
• Input your vision description or Pinterest board URL
• Let AI build out your mood, tone, and style samples

Pro Tip: Pull real wedding inspiration from Ma Maison’s Wedding Gallery.

You’ll begin to notice a color story, texture palette, and visual rhythm—just like the pros.

Curate Flow Like a Designer

Design isn’t just visuals. It’s how the experience moves.

Every designer maps out the guest journey. So should you.

How to Design the Flow:

• Welcome Moment: What do guests see when they enter?
• Ceremony Arc: Where’s the focus? What’s the energy?
• Cocktail Hour: Light and fun, or sophisticated?
• Dinner: Do you want an intimate, plated meal or a family-style feast?
• Reception: What shifts the mood to celebration?

Utilize tools like Notion, Trello, or AI wedding planners to create your timeline. Alternatively, we can create a customized Ma Maison Venue Flow Map for each ceremony and reception location.

Where AI Meets Style: Using Smart Tools for Real Results

Design-Forward AI Tools You’ll Love

AI can’t replace your taste—but it can help translate it.

Our Favorite Wedding Design Tools:

Bring In Texture, Story, and Sound

Want your wedding to feel unforgettable? Design across all five senses.

Tips for Full-Sensory Wedding Design:

Tip:
Use Boomy or Soundraw to create a personalized instrumental track for your first dance.

And don’t forget the power of candlelight—no lighting designer skips it.
