Decorate Your Venue with These Easy Ingenious Ideas
2018-01-04

You are finally set to exchange your vows, dance down the aisle and embark on a long honeymoon. But before that, have you come up with ideas to accentuate your wedding venue with marvellous decorations?

Just because you’ve secured a beautiful and lavish reception space for your dinner or luncheon doesn’t mean you should simply leave it as that. Unless you have the venue perfectly dressed and decorated with ingenious décor, it will be another regular wedding.

Now, here’s what you probably didn’t know about grand, over-the-top weddings: Even with a shoe-string budget, you can still pull of a genuinely different and mesmerizing one. The secret lies deep beneath your team of creative designers, how you convert something ordinary to be extraordinary and the way you execute it. Try these fantastic wedding decoration ideas, and you might stage a jaw-dropping wedding.

A Whimsical Canopy for the Couple

At a beach-side outdoor wedding done at a resort, a “Bombay-meets-the-beach” inspired canopy is better than erecting massive tents. It is good for panoramic shots, fresh air and, of course, those sneak-out images of the newlyweds.

Curtained Ceremony Entrance

Start with a befittingly welcoming entrance created with a themed, curtained entrance. For a dramatic and elegant event, such an opening will hit the spot. The colour of the curtains also ushers in a theme that describes the wedding, blends with the lighting and makes the atmosphere cosy and enchanting.

White-Rose Covered Trees

If the wedding is at a flat space with well-arranged trees that form the aisle, use white roses to hide the tree’s greenery while arranging the seats to blend with the green environment and the theme colours. It creates a stunning effect!

Hang Up Extra Lights 

Some small, glowing bulbs, chandeliers, lanterns or café lights hanging from a central point and set to blink at regular intervals can easily create a dramatic yet dreamy look. 

Light Up the Room

A simple and effective way of instantly making a reception space romantic is by using gorgeous lighting. Planners often go with amber or pink lights because of their graceful, inviting glow that in turn converts the room or space into a chic and stylish area.

All-White Floating Orchids

If your wedding space offers a low ceiling, another great decoration idea is to use gravity-defying, all-white orchids above the tables. It isn’t hard to execute as the design is practical – you only need to elevate the pieces right above the table with a thin, almost inconspicuous thread dropping from the ceiling and holding them.

Drape the Room

If the reception venue’s theme colour clashes with the décor chosen, create another stunning sight with draping. Fabric that blends with the wedding’s colours is the best, although when it isn’t available, bright colours often do the trick. If you drape the ceiling alone, trust me, the atmosphere will have changed too.

Jazz Up the Glassware 

Clear glassware is commonplace and isn’t reassuring. However, a unique collection with shades of black, red or cobalt coupled with matching table setting, will surely delight the guests.

Vignettes

To give a serious personality to the wedding venue, add a few trendy anecdotes. You can include a few floral arrangements besides the framed photo of the weddings at the main table, or display antique mementos and vintage furniture topped with old props.
