Defining Your Wedding Day Style: Michelle Durpetti Featured on Green Wedding Shoes

At Michelle Durpetti Events, we know that every couple’s wedding day should feel like a true reflection of who they are — not just in the planning and design, but in the style and fashion choices that define the day. That’s why we’re so thrilled to share a recent feature on Green Wedding Shoes, where Michelle was tapped as an expert contributor for “A Step by Step Guide to Defining Your Wedding Day Style.”

In a sea of Pinterest boards, trends, and bridal buzzwords, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed when trying to define your wedding style. But as Michelle shares in the piece, it all starts with authenticity.

“Don’t force a trend if it doesn’t align with your personality,” Michelle advises in the article. “Focus on details that excite you, whether it’s intricate lace, dramatic silhouettes, or effortless elegance.”

The feature offers a refreshingly thoughtful and thorough approach to wedding fashion. From defining your core vision to exploring personal details, selecting hero pieces, and aligning your look with your venue — every step is crafted to help couples create a look (and an experience) that’s uniquely their own.

Michelle’s advice throughout the guide reflects the foundation of our work here at MDE: celebrating love, legacy, and personal expression.

Whether it’s incorporating a treasured heirloom into your ensemble or simply choosing a dress that feels like you, Michelle reminds couples that style isn’t about trends — it’s about telling your story.

“Weddings are about celebrating love and legacy,” she says, “and incorporating meaningful details into your look makes it even more special.”

We especially love the guide’s emphasis on collaboration. As Michelle shares in one of our favorite quotes from the piece:

“Collaborating with experienced stylists, designers, and planners can help refine your wedding day style. As a wedding planner, I work closely with my couples to ensure their fashion choices align with the overall aesthetic, creating a seamless and stunning celebration.”

From expert tailoring and thoughtful accessories to recommending a professional wedding dresser (yes, it’s a thing — and yes, it’s fabulous), the guide is a must-read for anyone planning their big day.

✨ Pro Tip from Michelle: Don’t overlook the details under the gown! “Ill-fitting pieces can affect posture, comfort, and even how the gown looks in photos.” Invest in undergarments and shapewear that support your style — literally and visually.

At the heart of it all? Confidence.

“The most timeless and elegant thing you can put on is the joy of the day itself.” — Michelle Durpetti
