Five tips to enhance your wedding decor
Wedding days are meant to be fi lled
with love and celebration, and what better
way to ring in the new stage of life
as newlyweds than with a well-decorated
venue to match the joyous occasion.
Whether a couple is on a tight budget or
picky when it comes to theme ideas, these
decorating tips can help add more fl air for
the big day.
Use a natural venue
Many couples choose wedding venues
that require immense amounts of decorations,
but a venue with organic scenery
or a beautiful view can help alleviate
the stress. Consider having the ceremony
near a garden or beach with enough natural
surroundings to keep guests in awe.
Make the cake a centerpiece
Wedding cakes are almost guaranteed
to be fi lled with fl avor, but they can also
serve as a decorative centerpiece for the
reception. Choosing a cake topped with
fl owers, highlighting bright colors and
placing it in a prominent spot at the
reception can grab guests’ attention while
also keeping them eager for a bite.
Choose table accessories
that pop
Leave guests in amazement as they
make their way to their seats for the
reception with beautifully decorated
tables. Table accessories can be anything
ranging from patterned table runners to
fl owers in full-bloom placed in simple,
elegant vases. If you are not having a formal
sit-down reception, try using paper
lanterns or hanging fl owers from the ceiling
to create an eye-catching atmosphere
to remember.
Add classic lighting
At times, fi nding the right lighting to
match the mood of a wedding venue can
be tricky. In this case, less may actually
be more. Try opting for a classic candlelit
ceremony or reception to create
a more romantic setting. Th is can save
both money and countless hours spent
attempting to confi gure elaborate light
fi xtures, and also provide a timeless feel.
Place engagement photos
around the venue
With any wedding, you want the day
to feel personal and intimate for the couple
and guests alike. Consider decorating
the venue with engagement photos of the
soon-to-be spouses as they popped the
question. Th is can allow the newlyweds to
reminisce while guests view those cherished
moments and revel in the occasion.
