From white walls, concrete floors, or even a brick building, there are many ways to achieve a modern look. Also consider selecting a space with natural light

Switch Up Your Florals
Include flowers with a little more structure, an asymmetrical look, or even an ombre look to your wedding decor. To really pull the look together you can keep your flowers all white or monochromatic. Another option is to make greenery the focal point of your design, with a mixture of leaves and vines.
