Choosing Décor for Weddings

If you are a fussy bride that wants top be in charge of every aspect of her wedding day, then be prepared for long hours and months of planning. As you want everything to be perfect on the day, you will have to start early and ensure that you have enough help so that on the actually day of your wedding, you can get ready and be pampered like every bride deserves. Wedding planning is hard and sometimes knowing what to do in a situation can be almost impossible.

Like the décor. Brides can find it difficult to visualizes a venue and transform it in their minds to be the perfect wedding reception hall with that Moroccan theme, or winter wonderland style. The décor plays a huge part of the transformation and all weddings need to have some kind of décor to tie in the colors, atmosphere and style. While some weddings can be fairly easy to provide décor for like a beach or seaside wedding, others can be more challenging and it may be advisable to get help from an expert or a few talented and creative friends.

While you are doing the décor you will have to take some things into consideration like the position of the bar, the position of the tables, the position of the DJ and his equipment, the ability to hang or change things in the room you have chosen and the lighting abilities and allowances. If you want to bring in extra lighting you will have to find out exactly where you can place it and be sure to have a lighting meeting with the company to finalize the arrangements, colors and positions of the lights so that you are happy. Lights can really help to transform a venue and by throwing

some purple or pink lighting onto the walls over some white draped fabric, a plain, boring space can become that magical one you are after.

Another décor trick is fabric. Fabric can change the dimensions of a space and also add colors and texture. With white fabric draped all over the walls of a ballroom, it can become a more regal winter palace. Red, orange and gold draping on the ceiling can offer a Moroccan influence to a space for this type of theme in your wedding. Be careful not to go too over board with the fabric because you don’t want it to look like a material store, but use it precisely and elegantly.

Candles are perhaps one of the most useful décor devices. They change the lighting, add warmth, give atmosphere and look very romantic. They hide a multitude of flaws that you might have in your venue and will mask any color clashes, faded wallpaper, and hideous carpeting. You can have candle everywhere and the key to good candle light is to have depth. You must have levels in your candle arrangements and size. Use tealight candle ion the tables, large pillar candles on tall stands at entrances and even use votive candles as guests’ place cards. They can also double as wedding favors (always think about your budget!). Have fun decorating your wedding venue.
