While dreaming up remarkable ideas for decorating your unique wedding, much more can be imagined than simple table centerpieces consisting of flowers and candles. By using décorations suspendues such as ribbons and lights along with traditional table and ceremony decorations, you can really enhance the quality and feel of your wedding. With minimal material, we can create a big impact, which is visually stunning and can really transform the whole ambiance of the event.
Whether it is lighting or garlands, streamers or lanterns, these little touches can make the
difference.
The key with simple ribbon decoration is repetition, and the symmetry of the composition. To create a ‘neat’ pattern, tie the same number of ribbons to the last row of your ceremony chairs, or to each chair along the aisle. The ribbons don’t have to be the same length, but should be tied in the same fashion. You can also set apart special chairs at your reception dinner with the use of ribbons.
A little more sophisticated, chandeliers can add an elegant sense of grandeur, a flash back to la belle époque.
Combining color and sparkle is one way to create an festive atmosphere. For example, a ceiling of fairy lights or small tinted glass jars can give warm candle light a whimsical feel. While larger dangling transparent lanterns can be completely enchanting during an afternoon ceremony, and light up the evening when filled with 2-3″ candles.
Draping ribbons, flowers and fabric can also dramatically enhance the tone of the room and really show off any venue. In fact, you could even create a venue – how about a garden pergola or beach side tent?
On a smaller
scale, garlands and lanterns are an easy way to jazz up any setting.
The key is being able to tastefully combine this hanging approach of decorating to the tried and true method of flowers and candles. So think outside the box and enjoy yourself while exploring new, creative ways to make your special day unique and inspired.
