Get Stunning Event Designs: A Beginner's Guide to Midjourney AI

Are you a wedding or event designer feeling lost with AI? Maybe you've tried Midjourney but didn't get the results you hoped for. You're not alone! Creating amazing AI-generated designs starts with understanding the basics. This guide breaks down simple ways to get breathtaking results for your event projects using Midjourney.

Starting Your First Midjourney Prompt

When you begin creating an image in Midjourney, especially if you're new, it can feel like a lot. The key is to start simple. Instead of trying to describe everything at once, begin with the main element of your design.

Build Your Prompt Slowly

Think of your prompt as a recipe. Start with the core ingredient, like "wedding ceremony arch decor." Run that first. Then, add one or two more words that define the scene a bit more, like "outdoor lawn wedding."

Adding details gradually helps you see exactly how each word changes the image. If you add too much at once and the image isn't right, you won't know which part of your prompt caused the problem. This slow process helps you learn what works.

As you experiment, consider what your clients like. Do they prefer heavy flowers or light ones? Is their style modern or classic? Add words like "classic white flowers with draping" to guide the AI towards the look you want.

Remember, Midjourney is turning your text into pictures. The words you use and their order matter. Things mentioned earlier in the prompt tend to have more focus in the final image.

The Power of Aspect Ratios

One thing many new users miss is how much the image shape affects the outcome. The default in Midjourney is a square (1:1 ratio). Most AI models were trained on square images, so you often get the best, most centered results with a square.

However, depending on where you plan to use the image, other ratios might be better. Midjourney lets you choose different shapes like portrait (like 3:4 or 9:16 for phones) or landscape (like 3:2 or 16:9 for wide screens).

Switching the aspect ratio can significantly change the composition. A vertical image (9:16) might crop the scene or show it from a different angle compared to a square. A wide image (16:9) gives the AI more space to add detail and elements, which can be great for showing a full ceremony setup with chairs and aisles.

If you're creating a complex scene, try starting with a square to get the main design elements right. Once you have a good image, you can often switch to a wider ratio to refine the details and get a broader view. Experiment with `--ar` followed by the ratio (e.g., `--ar 16:9`) to see the difference.

Understanding Seed Codes

Seed codes might seem technical at first, but they are a powerful tool for learning and consistency. Every time Midjourney creates an image, it uses a random seed code. Think of it like the starting point for the AI's "static" or noise.

If you use the exact same prompt and the exact same seed code, Midjourney will create a nearly identical image or set of images. This is incredibly useful for testing.

For example, if you have a prompt you like and add `--seed 1234`, you'll get a certain image. If you then change just one word in the prompt (like changing "white flowers" to "red flowers") but keep the same seed (`--seed 1234`), you can see precisely how that one word change affects the image, starting from the exact same initial noise pattern. This helps you understand which words have the biggest impact.

While maybe not for final client renders initially, using seeds while you learn can help you figure out if an image variation is due to your words or just the random nature of the creation process.

Controlling the Midjourney Style

Midjourney has its own unique look. You can control how much of this style is applied to your images using the "stylization" parameter. By default, this is often set to 100.

• Higher Stylization (e.g., 250, 500, 750): The image will look more "artistic" and have more of the Midjourney aesthetic. It might add extra details or sunlight, but the final image could be less accurate to every word in your prompt.

• Lower Stylization (e.g., 0, 20, 50): The image will stick closer to your exact prompt text but might appear less polished or artistic. The details might look a bit "wonky" compared to higher values.

Experiment with the ` --style` parameter followed by a number (e.g., `--style 250`) to see how it changes your results. Starting around 100 or 250 is often a good balance for new users.

There is also a ` --style raw` option. This basically removes the default Midjourney aesthetic style. It can sometimes result in more photo-realistic images and is useful if you're trying to figure out if a strange result is due to your prompt wording or Midjourney's default artistic choices.

Mastering these parameters takes practice. The TitanXT Midjourney Automation Suite can help you test different styles, seeds, and aspect ratios quickly, comparing results side-by-side without manual hassle.

What to Do Next

Now that you have a grasp of starting simple prompts, using aspect ratios, understanding seeds, and playing with style, it's time to practice! Try creating different ceremony designs. See how changing the location, flower types, decor elements, and aspect ratios changes the final look.

Depending on your specialty as an event professional (florist, rental company, planner), different aspect ratios or prompt details might be more crucial for your design visualization. A wider ratio might be better for showing rental items spread down an aisle, while a square might be perfect for focusing on floral arch details.

Keep experimenting. AI is a tool that gets better the more you understand how your words influence its creations.
