Nowadays, it's all about showing your own style during a wedding. Personalized vows, non-traditional gowns, and unique settings are all options, but the décor has the most impact. Nothing is more thrilling than planning your wedding as a soon-to-be bride. You can feel overwhelmed by the number of elements you want to include in your concept or style. You may have done a lot of research on anything from your wedding gown to your bouquet.
Your wedding is a remarkable day, and all of the preparations leading up to it may be equally so. But how can you be certain that you've remembered everything? With this go-to checklist, couples face a little easier. Use this checklist as your wedding day approaches to ensure you have everything you'll need for the ceremony, reception, and everything in between.
Ceremony Decor
Aisle markers are placed at the end of each row of chairs, pews, or benches in the ceremony.
An aisle runner is a long piece of cloth that covers the length of the ceremony aisle and is traditionally unrolled just before the bride's arrival, your aisle runner can now be as unique as you want it to be.
Altar arrangements can be displayed atop pillars or tables for the small altar and while larger arrangements can be placed straight on the ground.
Ceremony signage allows you to relay vital information, such as a reminder to everyone to switch off their cameras if you're having an unplugged wedding.
Garlands can be draped or hung on virtually anything, including chair backs, doorway toppers, and even the banisters of a staircase.
Cocktail Hour
A wedding guest book is a hardcover book where guests can sign their names and express their congratulations to the newlyweds.
High-top tables are typically set at a height of 42" and are ideal for standing visitors to rest on, set their drinks on, or even snack on.
Cocktail tables come in a variety of shapes and sizes, including round and square tops.
The guest book table may feature a guest book, flowers, card box, and basket for wedding programs during the ceremony. It may contain a guest book, card box, flowers, and favors or seating arrangement place cards during the reception.
A memory table is usually a display honoring departed loved ones, but it can also include images from your parents' or grandparents' wedding.
Reception Tables
Wedding tablecloths in classic white are the most popular and common. To add flair and difference to the table decorations, use colorful cloths to create drama and make stains easier to cover.
To add more texture, use patterned or lace cloths and drape tablecloths along the table's edges for further aesthetic effect.
Centerpiece accessories, use candle centerpieces or tea lights. To reflect the light, use floating candles or candles on mirrors, and rope lights go down the table's edges.
A wedding centerpiece idea may be more than just a gorgeous bunch of flowers. You can match your centerpiece to the season or location, such as tropical wedding centerpieces for a summer beach wedding.
The bride and groom, as well as bridesmaids and groomsmen, sit at the head table, which is typically a large table. Using wedding backdrops, centerpieces, lights, flowers, and signage, decorate behind the table as well as on top and in front.
Seating charts for weddings can be a lot of fun, to direct your visitors to their seats there are a plethora of methods. Consider writing your wedding seating chart on a blackboard in classic calligraphy.
Place cards are a simple accent that may boost your wedding decor while also ensuring that seating is organized. After they arrive at the lunch, place cards indicate where they will sit. Place cards are popular for formal or black-tie events and can be used interchangeably.
Skip the usually numbered card in favor of one of these more unique ones. Table numbers should make sure they're readable and simple to see—they should be large enough to catch your guests' attention. While table numbers can make a statement on their own, it's also vital to think about how they'll look if you're including centerpieces in your design.
Reception Decorations
Gorgeous draping is a great way to add some significant "wow" factor to your reception. You could drape the walls to soften the venue's edges or use floor-to-ceiling panels to partition off a vast, cavernous area, making it feel warmer and more personal.
When done correctly, uplighting gives your photographs a sense of depth and background, not only adding character and elegance to your event but also guiding people to areas where they will be interacting, such as the bar or photo booth.
Wedding hashtags are ideal for couples who want their guests to capture the day from their perspective. Coming up with a unique hashtag is one of the most fun aspects of wedding planning.
For your wedding cake table decorations, a simple and charming embellishment is to cover the table with a white cloth and toss rose petals. You can utilize lighting, fabric, flowers, and accessories to create a fantastic look for your wedding cake.
Tall floral arrangements will attract your guests' attention as soon as they enter the room, creating a room-wide effect. Choose flowers that are in season for the greatest prices, and buy flowers from local producers to avoid shipping costs.
