How to Choose a Wedding Venue When You and Your Partner Have Different Styles
A practical, supportive guide for Oklahoma couples who want a wedding that feels true to both of them.
Every couple has their own vision of a perfect wedding.
One partner imagines elegance and chandeliers.
The other dreams of something cozy, simple, rustic, modern, glamorous — or somewhere in between.
If you and your partner aren’t picturing the exact same thing, you’re not alone.
In fact, it’s one of the most common challenges Oklahoma couples face when choosing a venue.
The good news?
You don’t have to compromise your style or their style — you just need the right venue that can blend both effortlessly.
Here’s how to choose a wedding venue that honors BOTH of your personalities, tastes, and priorities.
1. Choose a Venue With a Neutral, Adaptable Aesthetic
A venue with a very specific theme (fully rustic, overly industrial, extremely modern) often forces couples to choose one partner’s vision over the other.
A neutral, timeless space, though, becomes the perfect canvas to merge different styles.
At Rose Briar Place, couples love that the venue isn’t overly themed.
It features:
Elegant architectural details
A classic indoor chapel
A natural outdoor garden
A neutral reception space
Décor packages that shift from simple to glamorous
This flexibility allows couples to go in any direction — classy, boho, modern romantic, traditional, whimsical, or somewhere in between.
2. Look for Venues With Built-In Décor Options That Can Be Customized
What most couples don’t realize is that décor is one of the biggest ways to blend two styles.
Rose Briar Place offers three levels of design packages that help couples meet in the middle:
🏛️Classic Package
Perfect for couples who love simplicity and timelessness.
🕯️Prestige Package
Ideal for couples wanting elevated décor without being overly extravagant.
🥂Majestic Package
Designed for glamorous, bold, or luxury-inspired tastes.
By adjusting greenery, linens, centerpieces, and aesthetics, couples can create a look that reflects both personalities.
This reduces disagreements and gives both partners a sense of ownership.
3. Indoor + Outdoor Ceremony Options Bring Two Visions Together
If one of you wants an outdoor garden wedding while the other wants a traditional indoor ceremony, many venues force you to choose.
But Oklahoma weather can be unpredictable, so flexibility is crucial.
At Rose Briar Place, couples get both:
A beautiful indoor chapel
A romantic outdoor garden ceremony space
Indoor reception with garden views
Multiple photo backdrops
You can choose an outdoor ceremony, indoor reception.
Indoor ceremony, outdoor photos.
Or adjust the plan based on weather or preference.
It’s the easiest way to honor both partner’s tastes without compromise.
4. List Your Non-Negotiables Separately — Then Together
Before touring venues, each partner should create a list of what matters most to them.
Examples:
"I want a venue that handles setup and takedown."
"I want elegant photos."
"I want to incorporate cultural food."
"I want a garden backdrop."
"I want a stress-free planning process."
"I want room for a big family."
Then compare.
Most couples discover they share far more than they expected.
Often, their differences are stylistic — not logistical — which means the right venue can accommodate both.
5. Lean on Your Venue Coordinator for Design Guidance
One of the most underrated resources in the wedding industry?
Experienced venue coordinators.
They’ve seen:
Rustic-meets-romantic weddings
Modern-meets-classic weddings
Glamour-meets-natural weddings
Cultural blends
Minimalist couples marrying maximalists
They know exactly how to marry two aesthetics into one cohesive look.
Coordinators at Rose Briar Place are trained not just in logistics, but also in helping couples blend styles beautifully through layout, décor choices, colors, lighting, and design.
6. A Venue Should Feel Good to BOTH of You
Sometimes, the deciding factor isn’t décor — it’s the feeling the venue gives each partner.
During the tour, pay attention to:
How comfortable you both feel
Whether the staff seems supportive and welcoming
If you can picture your wedding day there
If both visions can realistically be brought to life
Whether the space feels like “us,” not just “me”
A venue should feel harmonious to both partners, not just one.
That’s why couples often say the moment they walked into Rose Briar Place, they both just knew — it felt right.
