5 Asian Inspired Wedding Décor Ideas
2017-12-19

There is no end to the types of decorations you can put up at your wedding. Set the mood for your wedding with these Asian inspired ideas that bring personality and color to your special ceremony.

Calligraphy

Calligraphy is a classic art that brings a bold touch of minimalism to a wedding. Especially if you love the traditional idea of the Chinese double happiness symbol, feel free to add more elements of brush script into the décor. Everything from backdrops and head table emblems to betrothal gifts and guest cards can be embellished with this timeless design.

Delicate brush strokes make the perfect depiction to communicate your messages of love, happiness and prosperity. For a punch of graphic and luck, add your messages stamped in red ink instead for a more modern look.

Rice

When you’re binding your love and prosperity in marriage, consider using rice in your traditional décor. While this doesn’t have to be interpreted literally, loose grains of rice in small bowls or vases, or even dyed in wedding colors are also options. Exquisite art pieces can be created with origami rice paper and used in wedding colors. Or simply focus on the food as the highlight of the night with stunning plates that feature your favorite rice dishes and spiced appetizers tucked into rice paper. Star shaped flower petals, butterflies, cranes or other three dimensional art pieces give brightness and elegant texture to your wedding venue. A modern design option would be paper airplanes for a wanderlust wedding theme.

Lanterns

Illuminate the night with candlelit lanterns for a warm, sensual ambiance. Use large ones to make a statement with the vertical space of your venue. For a fun, colorful vibe, consider decorating with a cluster of small, electric lanterns in different hues so your guests feel the magic at the festivities.

Tea

If you are preparing for a beautiful tea ceremony to commemorate the love on your wedding day, take tea elements into the décor. Use beautiful tea trays as wall art or to set the red envelopes on. Give guests small cups or special loose tea sachets as parting gifts. Put your own aromatic spin on the wedding with accents of bowls filled with your favorite loose tea, dried fruit or incense for lavish detailing. For stand out art pieces, hang depictions of landscapes or customized pieces made from tea leaves. A whimsical idea could be hosting tea leave reading to amuse your guests with at the wedding to see who else will be the next to find true love.

Blossoms

If you have a love for symbolism and florals, blossoms will be the perfect adornment for you.  If it is an option for your venue, make the ceremony enchanting with cascading bouquets and inverted centerpieces that hang from the ceiling. Supplement this fairytale forest motif with lots of greenery and limit the count of blossoms to use as accent pieces. This will create breathtaking photographs and beat the traditional petal sprinkled aisle. For an equally charming, minimal design, choose smaller arrangements as centerpieces or contrast blossoms with branches and budding flowers.
