HOW TO HAVE A LOVER-INSPIRED WEDDING
Having a wedding inspired by one of Taylor Swift's eras can be a unique and fun way to celebrate your love for her music and style. In honor of her Eras Tour, we're highlighting some of our favorites and how to incorporate them into your wedding day.
Dreamy, romantic, and fun, Taylor’s Lover era is characterized by vibrant colors and sparkle. For all the Lover stans, here’s our take on how to have a Lover-inspired wedding.
1. STYLE
Each era has its own unique color palette. The Lover era is so distinctive, we say ditch the traditional white and embrace color for your wedding weekend style. Here are some of our top picks.
Infinity Pro Tip: Discuss the shot list with your photographer and make sure they know you want every outfit change captured. Assign a wedding party member or a friend to ensure you get every shot you want. They’ll bring you your heart-shaped sunglasses, make sure you have your silly straw while getting ready, and ensure you and your photographer step out during the reception for a mini-session in your reception dress.
2. DECOR
The "Lover" era is all about romance, color, and whimsy. Incorporate these elements into your wedding decor with fairy lights and flowers to create a magical and enchanting atmosphere. Opt for abundant and colorful floral arrangements. Our couple Sarah + Joseph let their colorful florals speak for themselves and paired them with all-white linens. For more color, think about adding colored napkins, china, or glassware.

Add some sparkle with disco balls on the dance floor, fairy lights or twinkle lights during dinner, and sequined linens on your cake or sweetheart tables. Metallic tinsel fringe can also be used to dress up the bar or for a photo booth backdrop.

3. MUSIC
What would an eras-inspired wedding be without a playlist full of Taylor Swift hits? Just because you're drawing decor and style inspiration from a single era, don’t feel like you have to stick to one album for your playlist. Choose songs based on what resonates with you and your partner the most. You can also include covers or acoustic versions for a unique twist. Here are some of our Lover-era picks:
- Walk down the aisle to an instrumental version of “Miss Americana & the Heartbreak Prince.”
- Dance down the aisle with your partner by your side to “Paper Rings.”
- Make a grand entrance into your reception with “ME!”
- Take your first spin as a married couple to “Lover” for your first dance.
Your playlist isn’t the only way to incorporate some of your favorite Lover lyrics. Lyrics can be incorporated throughout the reception. Our couple Sarah + Patrick incorporated them with a neon sign hanging on their photo booth backdrop while Anna Lee + Justin included lyrics at each table.
