Interestingly, most brides seem to fit fairly well into one of four categories. Which one are you?
1) The Minimalist
Simplicity is your middle name - from the sleek lines of an iPod to the pleasures of a perfectly cut white shirt, your personal style is easy and unadorned. Detail-oriented and down-to-earth, you bring order to all around you. The sounding board for friends and the go-to-girl at work, you’re capable, rational, and precise. But do not sell yourself short - you radiate true beauty through straightforward communication and a soothing demeanor. There is nothing pared-down about your passion for detail or your love of real honest living.
Avoid: Oversized baubles, multi-course meals, vanity plates
Crave: A class in Zen flower arrangement, a stack of plain silver bracelets, an iPhone
2) The Sensualist
Sexy and seductive, you are governed by the five senses, which you shamelessly indulge with extravagant sights, luscious textures, and romantic meals. You are at your peak when indulging in a decadent meal, sharing a passionate embrace, or blessing out in a tub spiked with exotic oils. More champagne and truffles than tea and scones, you bring a sense of luxury and passion to everything you do. From your fabulously overdone signature to your penchant for drama, you don’t believe in half measures.

Crave: A Mediterranean wine cruise, a full-body massage, a seductive flacon of hand-mixed perfume
3) The Organic
Your home is the true center of your life, and you decorate it with a flea-market sensibility and sustainable style. Obsessed with comfort and ease, you’re more likely to opt for a midnight hike than a crowded bar. You’re the person who brings incredible homemade cookies to a friend in distress and serves the perfect cup of tea in a fabulous vintage mug. From your eclectic personal style to your open, giving nature, you’re the personification of honest ease.
Avoid: Stinky subways, traffic, uncomfortable high heels

4) The Sophisticate
Fashion is your middle name, and urbane luxury is your game. A world traveler, you can hold your own in a boardroom or a boutique. Your fresh, fun approach to life means that you infuse some oomph in everything you pursue. From updating a classic cashmere sweater with a hyper-modern piece of jewelry to surprising a friend with a perfectly-arranged bouquet of her favorite flower, you’re classy and sassy.
Avoid: Boring take-out dinners, sports bars, people who don’t write thank-you notes
Crave: Plane tickets to New York or Berlin, season passes to your city’s most cutting-edge museum, a box of over-the-top cupcakes
