The Basics Of Wedding Decorations
Jen Carter
Gorgeous and stylish
wedding decorations are often the centerpiece of the wedding ceremony and
reception, and can change the mood in any setting. Themed wedding
decorations set the stage for your wedding theme, and can be used in many
areas of your ceremony and reception locations. Common places to decorate
for your wedding in an indoor and outdoor environment are:
At the Ceremony:
The Entrance or doorway (includes arches for outdoor gazebos and garden
weddings)
Pews, chairs and Altars
Inside walls, or the first adjoining rooms from the entrance.
The area around the Guest Registry
Pathways and important wedding party vehicles
The Reception:
- Outer door entrance
- First entrance room
- Tables - head table, food tables
(buffet)
- Walls
- Wedding Cake (cake topper)
- Ceilings
Since wedding ceremonies and receptions can pretty much happen anywhere
that the couple choose, wedding decorations can apply based upon the theme
you may choose. Decorating for your traditional wedding may mean beautiful
pure white candles, fresh flower arrangements, embroidered cloth napkins.
Planning to decorate for a fall wedding? This might mean pumpkins,
preserves, ‘hanging harvests’, grape vines strewn with gold and red
colored leaves. Mood and setting will really influence where and how you
decorate. See the room in the ‘whole picture’ and think of the theme or
feelings conveyed – do these match the same traits in the bride and groom?
Always remember your timeline. Since the wedding party is usually the
biggest part of the decorating (unless you are using a wedding planner
/coordinator) they must have a set plan for placing wedding decorations
and taking them down. Often (especially in the case of a formal wedding
such as a church) the wedding decorations must go up shortly before the
wedding and are taken down immediately after. Think about the following
details which will help you complete your decoration:
Colors and wedding theme, time of day of the wedding ceremony, location of
the event, temperament of the bride and groom, feasibility and cost of
design of decorating (budget), space to decorate and the total number of
people attending.
