When it comes to a wedding, it calls for a lot of planning and forethought to make the big day extra special. Though a nuptial is often about the ceremony; for many brides, grooms, and guests; the real fun and enjoyment start with the choice of venue, reception, d©cor, theme, cake, flowers, centrepieces, food, and wine. In this article, we are going to talk about some of the best wedding decoration ideas that will add an elegant and memorable touch to your special day.
1. Select a Glamorous or Vintage Theme
Choosing an appropriate theme is the first task that every bride and groom should think about. The theme should match with the venue, dress and menu. Glamour is always an in-thing. When it comes to a stylish theme, there are endless items and accessories to choose from. Plush and imposing chandeliers, embellished candle stands, ornamented invites, accent colours such as gorgeous purple or royal blue, dazzling lights and so on.
A vintage theme, on the other hand, may include retro adornments of the swinging 60s. You can also choose from costumes having vintage design, bird cages brimming with flowers, vintage makeup and hairdo or retro-styled, old looking crockeries. Give it a twist by introducing a vintage car for the groom and bride to attend the reception.
2. White Christmas Lights
Many couples prefer white Christmas lights as a simple, inexpensive yet elegant decoration. If you have chosen a restaurant to host the wedding and reception party, these white lights can be hung from the ceiling and placed around the tables, near potted plants or around the wedding cake. Those, who don’t like Christmas lights, can opt for lanterns.
3. Creative Wedding Cake Design
Modern day brides love to add a touch of individuality to the wedding cake. For example, you can choose a colour scheme that matches with your wedding gown or that of the bridesmaid costumes. Cake adornments can also be selected on the basis of the jewels a bride wears on the big day. These include diamonds, pearls and rubies. You can replicate the look of the cake accordingly.
4. Feathers and Candles
Want to make the d©cor voguish? Then, buy feathers in bulk and embellish the venue with big feather wreaths. You can hang such adornments on the walls or put them beside centrepieces of colourful flowers for a sophisticated look.
To add a romantic touch, there is nothing like a dimly lit room glimmering with the light of several candles.
5. Wedding Flowers and Bouquets
Who doesn’t love wedding flowers and bouquets? Your floral bouquet on the special day can be embellished with romantic red roses, brooches, feathers or any other stunning arrangements. Be it a thick cluster of all-red roses for a downtown nuptial or a bunch of yellow lilies to liven up your guests’ spirits – these are the most reliable, pretty and romantic adornments. Again, if it’s an autumn wedding, you can create a visually delightful bouquet by pairing lavender-coloured blossoms with some brilliant red blooms from the garden.
6. Flaunt Your Engagement Snapshots
The reception is the best place to flaunt your engagement photos because several guests will like viewing them. Choose the best pictures of you and your would-be spouse to attract the attention of the guests. If displaying them in frames is a problem, you can display them in a collage.
7. Purple Reception
There is nothing more romantic than a purple reception. It’s classy, grandiose and elegant. A dazzling purple-coloured lighting arc can be designed to change the colour of the room from pinks to members and then to purple. You can also choose the magenta or dark blue to create an ambience of the night sky with a dramatic flourish.
8. Table Ideas and Centrepiece Ideas
A subtle and compact arrangement of white tulips in a large, oval-shaped and transparent vase as a centrepiece will brighten nuptial ambience. You can also add a twist of by adding some brilliant pink roses. A table or centrepiece such as this will bring a lot of visual appeal to the venue.
9. The Table Laid with Italian Food
The kind of wedding food menu you choose and the way it is garnished can add a lot of spark to your special day. Gorgeous trays having delectable Italian breads, fresh cheeses, insulate (salad), starters, pizzas, and desserts will create a festive mood.
10. Finally, Bottles of Wine
Always pick fine quality table wines – red or white – as per your preference. Delight your guests halfway through the meal with sorbet, Pinot Grigio or Cabernet Sauvignon ai Galli.
