Decorating the venue for the most important day in your life can be quite challenging, stressful and demanding. Theres a lot of factors that you have to take into account, as well as choosing the right venue in the first place. Thats why we are here to help you. Whether you are using our planning and decorating services, or choosing to take on this challenge yourself, a few simple tips will always be of great help.
So where to start?
First of all, when choosing the wedding venue your main focus should be on the number of guests that you are expecting at your wedding, as well as what exactly is your desired location- maybe you would like a big ballroom wedding, or perhaps a wedding tent surrounded by nature. Your venue needs to be spacious enough so that you guest can not only sit, but move around and dance as well. Taking this into account, you will probably need a space that is bigger than you expected. What you also need to take into account is the arrangement of the tables. How many guests will sit at one table, who is going to sit with whom and how will the tables be spread across the venue. Its best to arrange the tables in a way that pairs up the people who already know each other, therefore making the atmosphere more comfortable and friendly. Tables should range between 8 to 10 people per table, that is the number we found to be optimal. Be careful not to put too many people at one table, because between so many voices and the loud music, they might not hear each other talk.
What kind of wedding decorations to choose?
When you have listed all your wants and needs, you can continue on with planning the decorations. When decorating, its crucial to decide on one theme so that all the decorations can be coherent. After deciding on a theme, the next step is to decide on the color palette. It can range from 5 to about 10 colors, but make sure that the colors you choose all go well with each other and the theme. This color theme can also serve as a dress code for your guests if thats what you desire. The number and variety of decorations is completely up to you. Some people prefer lavish, sparkly weddings, while others prefer something more lowkey and minimal.
Flower arrangements are probably the first thing that comes to mind, as they are a crucial part of any big event. First step is to choose a good florist. second step is to coordinate the colors of the flowers to go with the theme and color scheme . Be careful when choosing the arrangements so that they are not too big and obstructing the view.
Lighting also plays a very important role in making the scenery perfect. We dont recommend using big, white overhead lighting as it can look quite unflattering in photos. Its best to use soft ambient lighting and adjust it accordingly to the advice of your photographer. Our recommendation is to be moderate with the usage of balloons and confetti as they can be quite messy and can cheapen the look of the venue.
Lastly, the most important thing is that the venue is to your liking and that you have fun decorating it. Not every detail needs to be perfect as long as you are happy with the end result. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us and let your dream wedding come true.
