How to Choose the Perfect Wedding Decor

Whether you are planning a sophisticated soiree that will be the talk of the town, or a backyard shindig for the family, the décor you choose will ultimately tell your wedding story. Here are some curated tips to make sure that your décor is perfectly you.

Use Your Story
Determine if there is something that connects the two of you as a couple that can be carried through in the décor. If you met at the beach, both love a particular movie, or are a very modern couple – you can use your own relationship to come up with a story that you can tell through your wedding.

Keep A Theme
Using your idea(s) from your own love story, start planning your wedding decorations before considering the other aspects of your big day. Everything in your wedding can be considered part of the décor – venue, invitations, even the food. You’ll want to carry a cohesive theme throughout the entire process and create a seamless look from start to finish.

Set A Budget
Set your budget based on how important the décor elements of your wedding will be. You may want to save in other areas to be more extravagant in décor, or vice versa. Once your budget is set, you can start working on how to decorate at the level you’ve chosen.

Do Your Research
It may be tempting to jump right in and start buying things you like right away but try not to. Do your research and really consider the look and feel that you’re hoping to achieve, and whether it ties into the theme you chose. You’ll be happy that you took the extra time to think everything through.

Consider Your Guests
While the decision for how you want your wedding to look is up to you, it’s also important to consider how your guests will feel when they enter the space. Do you want them to be wowed? Feel comfortable? The atmosphere you hope to create for your guests should help steer you in the right décor direction.

Use Your Venue
If you’ve already chosen a venue that fits with your theme – great, you’re halfway there! If not, there are plenty of ways to use your venue to your advantage. Consider ways you can make use of any existing features in your venue, like a fireplace or garden. Look for things that stand out and take advantage of your surroundings to pull your theme together.
