Flowers are top of mind for many wedding planners and they add a romantic flair to any space. But they can be pricey. For a more budget-friendly option, try using artificial blooms.
Add a festive touch to your winter wedding with evergreen branches, holly, and mistletoe. Incorporate snowflakes and icicles into your decor as well.
Stage Decor
The stage is the focal point of a wedding ceremony and can be decorated in various ways. Whether you want to add dramatic elements like a revolving jaimala platform, fireworks, or even a hydraulic stage, the options are endless. The key is to choose a decoration style that will complement your theme and suit the occasion.
If you’re going for an elegant look, chandeliers are an excellent choice. These grand additions can easily draw the eye, and they can be paired with other decorations like flowers and drapery to create a beautiful and cohesive look for your stage.
For a truly elegant stage decor, try using white and pink flowers. These classic flowers will look lovely against a backdrop of white pillars and drapery. Add a long sofa in emerald green and you have a simple yet stunning wedding stage.
Mandap Decor
The mandap is the focal point of any Hindu wedding ceremony. It is here that the bride and groom exchange their vows before the holy fire. Many couples choose to decorate their mandap with floral garlands, but you can also add a pop of color with other types of arrangements.
Using greenery for your mandap decoration is a great way to add an organic feel to your ceremony space. For this outdoor summer wedding, pampas grass brought a boho touch to the setting. To make this white mandap stand out, flowers were added to the structure as well as the aisle design.
For a more regal look, you can use gold accents for your mandap. This opulent mandap features a wooden frame with golden accents and floral arrangements. You can even go with a more modern style by choosing a clear mandap. This type of setup will look stunning in photographs and is a perfect choice for an ocean- or mountainside venue.
Table Decor
Table decor is one of the most important elements in any wedding. It ties everything together and makes the overall look of the event more cohesive. There are many ways to make your tables stand out, from a stunning centerpiece to table numbers, seating cards, and even unique favors for guests.
If you want to go beyond the traditional floral centerpiece, try something like a wire bowl filled with branches or an origami-inspired arrangement. You can also place candles in lanterns, hurricanes, or tall glass vases to add a romantic glow to your tables.
Table linens are another essential piece of wedding decor. Choose a fabric that matches your theme and season. For example, velvet, dark satin, and damask work well for winter weddings, while silk and organza are better choices for warmer seasons. You can also use table runners to add color and texture to your tables.
Lighting
Lighting can make or break the vibe of your wedding, so it’s a critical part of your decor. It can wash the venue in a color that complements your theme, highlight the intricate details of your table centerpieces or bring a magical effect to the dance floor.
A good wedding lighting designer will be able to tell you exactly what will work in your venue and work with you to create a design that makes the most of it. They’ll use a combination of uplighting, wall washes and pin spots to transform your venue and set the perfect mood for your big day.
Uplighting involves placing special lighting fixtures next to or against the wall and around the perimeter of rooms and venues that project columns of light upwards. They can be used in almost any color and often coordinate with your wedding theme. Pin spots are miniature spotlights that can be aimed at focal points like your tall centerpieces or wedding cake to draw attention to them.
