It's official: you're engaged! Your big day will be here before you know it, and it's time to get cracking on the wedding planning. It's easy to get caught up in the major details like picking the venue and the color scheme, but going for an all-white theme is a great way to alleviate the stress of the latter. Plus, think about all the time you'll save if you're not perseverating over the difference between Maya blue and light sky blue (it's very minimal). A traditional white wedding isn't what it used to be, and white decor is beautiful, romantic, and incredibly classy. Spice things up on your big day with these stunning but simple white wedding decor ideas.

Entrance

Lining the walkway with flowers and draping white sheets over the walls can guarantee that your guests are greeted with pure elegance.

Escort Cards

With all the excitement that comes with saying "I do," the last thing you want is for your guests to be struggling to read the names on the place cards. Escort cards on a white background are a great way to save your friends the struggle of squinting and get the party going.

Centerpieces

Fill your centerpieces with a variety of white flowers, crystals, and candles, and the room will be glowing. Just make sure your guests don't try to take them home at the end of the night!

Dancing Shoes

Want to get everyone on the dance floor? Let the ladies take their heels off and kick it in something way more comfortable! Everyone will be thanking you later.

Cake

A white wedding cake is anything but boring. There are infinite options for adding extraordinary details to your cake. And remember, it's what's inside that counts!

Tablecloths

Avoid a major party fail that would be your guests' dresses clashing with the tablecloths and stick to white. Doing this will also let you be more creative when putting together detailed centerpieces.

Guestbook

Being that this is one of the most important days of your life, you'll definitely want to hold on to all the kind notes your guests wrote for you.

This is a great opportunity to be creative on a big white canvas. Whether it's a menu or a gift for each guest, take advantage of the open space on each tabletop.

Candles

Whether you and your future spouse decided on an outdoor Summer wedding or a glamorous indoor ceremony, candles undoubtedly add even more to the romantic feel of the party.
