Decorating the venue takes a lot of care and effort, but with a few tips and areas to consider it can be much easier and more manageable task helping you to create an impressive space for your big day.
Everybody envisions their wedding as a beautiful and magical event. It is important that you take the time to carefully consider the decoration as this is how you transform the venue into an elegant space which reflects your identity. You should view decoration as a top priority for your special day, but knowing how to create a stunning space can be tough.
With this in mind, read on for a few wedding decoration tips and tricks that will transform the room into the perfect place for your reception:
Colour
The first thing to do will be to decide on a colour palette. Pick a few colours that complement each other and stick to this for every single aspect of the decoration. Using a colour palette with different shades can add depth while maintaining consistency. If in doubt, use white with one bold colour or pattern.
Texture
In addition to colour, you should also use a selection of textures for visual impact. This is particularly useful for table linens, sashes and chair covers. Although it is fine to use a few textures, prefer not to use a huge range as that can look uncoordinated.
Lighting
Lighting is how you create an intimate setting and establish mood, so it should be carefully considered. LED candles, fairy lights and lanterns are all excellent ways to light a room, while for later in the evening when the dancing begins you will want to use coloured lights to create a fun atmosphere.
Centrepieces
The table centrepieces will often be one of the first decorative items that you must decide. It is vital that you do not opt for anything too large as your guests will need a lot of table space and to be able to see across the table. Often, simple flower arrangements or a vase with floating candles will work wonders.
Personal Touches
It is important to include personal touches as this is how you make the reception venue unique and special to you. Photographs around the venue are an easy way to do this, and your guests are sure to enjoy looking at these.
Simplicity
Finally, it is important to keep it simple. A room that is simple and understated will be much more elegant and appealing than a cluttered room with too many decorations, so always opt for less than more.
Decorating the venue can be challenging and daunting as it is such an important space where you will create many happy memories. The above tips should help you to create a warm, welcoming and personal space that looks fantastic and allows your guests to enjoy themselves.
