A wedding is the main event in the life of every girl, so I want the decoration of all the necessary attributes to be performed at the highest level. Such an event will be remembered by the newlyweds and guests for a long time.
Style selection
The time when the wedding was just a solemn event, marking the union of two hearts, is long past. Now the wedding is a whole theatrical action, preparing long before the most significant day. Today themed weddings are very fashionable, which are entirely sustained in a style that the bride and groom like. Certain topics make demands on all aspects of the celebration.
Mediterranean
Glitter and rhinestones are unusual for this style of wedding celebration. All design should be done as accurately as possible and clarified. So, bright colors are unusual for such a design. Pastel shades are chosen: silver, bluish-white, greenish. In the design of the banquet room, flowers and greens (on tables, walls), cages with live birds, and lit candles are welcome.
Medieval
You can decorate a banquet hall to match the interior of a medieval castle. Be sure to have lighted candles in the room, which will create an atmosphere of mystery. Tables are placed with the letter "P", the walls are decorated with medieval military attributes: shields, stakes. Chairs should have high backs and hard seats.
"Chicago"
In order to reproduce the atmosphere of America at the beginning of the century at the celebration, the decor must meet the trends of minimalism.Furniture and surroundings should look rather rich. The decoration of the hall should include fresh flowers, monetary units and expensive cigars. But the different kinds of decorations that we used to see at a classic wedding (balls, lights from garlands) for this style will be superfluous.
"Venice Carnival"
As well as for any similar celebration, for the wedding stylized under a carnival bright colors, gloss, extravaganza are characteristic. The main color of the wedding celebration in this style is gold. If the wedding is held outdoors, then tents made of bright fabric can be broken. For decor, greens, flowers are used. The walls of the restaurant can be decorated with paintings corresponding to the chosen theme. For greater realism with a real Venetian carnival, colorful balls, carnival masks, textile elements, fans can be used in interior decoration.
Nautical
For a wedding in this style, you need to choose the appropriate tones: white, blue, turquoise, sand. The ceiling and walls can be decorated with sails, and a vest should be worn on some objects (bottles, decanters). “Marine” photographs can be hung on the walls, and copies of marine life can be found on shelves and ledges.
Russian
A real Russian wedding should be framed in red, yellow and black. All attributes should preferably be made of natural wood (the interior of the banquet hall, table, chairs and so on). Walls can be decorated with hand-embroidered towels, icons (including those having special material value), horseshoes. Wooden tables are decorated with tablecloths made from natural materials, such as linen. The tables themselves should be solid, stable, fairly wide. Instead of chairs, wooden benches are used.
At the wedding in the Russian style, the newlyweds are not laid out in separate places. They are surrounded by guests. An integral attribute of a Russian wedding is a samovar, dishes made of wood. The interior with decorations in the form of wildflowers (to form small bouquets from them and put in vases) and wheat ears will be ideal. For the winter wedding in the Russian style, all the same features are characteristic, only the outfits of the young and the entertainment change to match the time of the year.
Vintage
For such a design, elegance comes first. The color scheme is pastel colors. The decor uses lace, translucent fabrics, silk, pearls.
Eco style
In the design of a banquet hall or a venue for a celebration in the open air, preference is given to natural shades and materials, meadow flowers. The general atmosphere should be cozy, delicate and romantic.
Decorations of premises and the adjacent territory
Decorating your bride’s apartment on your wedding day is easy. It is enough to stock up with dense bright cardboard and make flags from it. By hanging them in a certain sequence, you can create a very unusual home interior. Origami jewelry made by her own will look beautiful and very cute in the room of a girl-bride. As a basis, colored or foil paper can be used.
The appearance of jewelry depends solely on individual imagination whoever performed them, it is advisable to take into account the theme of the celebration. If the bride or her bridesmaids are distinguished by their creative beginning, then you can decorate one of the walls in the room with your own hand made fans of colored paper. Such a composition will not go unnoticed and will surely induce all those present to arrange an unforgettable photo shoot against its background.
Natural flowers
Decorating a room and an entrance with fresh flowers will always look beautiful and relevant. From them you can make small bouquets and arrange them in different places of the room.In addition to an attractive appearance, the plants will give their sweet fragrance, which will significantly affect the mood of the bride and guests. Whole garlands can be formed from living plants, making even the simplest tent festiveinstalled on the street for a wedding banquet, and a gazebo, which can be used as a photo zone. When decorating a banquet hall with flowers, it is necessary to choose varieties that for a long time retain a beautiful appearance. Room decoration is carried out on the eve of the wedding.
Flower arrangements can be placed not only on tables, but also in floor vases, on columns and arches. Selected varieties of flowers should not exude too strong aroma, otherwise the guests present may get a headache. If you plan to place flower arrangements on tables, you need to make sure that the buds are extremely fresh and the petals from them do not crumble. It is not recommended to decorate walls with flowers, since plants without water quickly lose their attractiveness. It is forbidden to decorate any festive dishes with fresh flowers, including cake, as dangerous chemical compounds used by flower growers to extend the life of cut flowers can get into them through food.
Balloons
Successful decorations, including for a wedding banquet, will turn out if you use balloons. From them you can also make garlands or figures in the form of hearts, wedding dates. This design element is more suitable for decorating rooms, for example, a bride’s apartment, a banquet hall. On the street, it may not look so spectacular due to gusts of wind, rain and other adverse weather conditions.
If you plan to decorate the room with balls, it is important to consider the color of the curtains and walls in the banquet hall. Balls should be combined with them in color. If you place the balls in a chaotic order in the room, it will look ugly, since there will be no harmony and harmony in the design. From balls it is better to create beautiful figures or even whole compositions. In some places you can use single balls.
You need to consider the color of these elements, size and quantity. The design using balls of two sizes will look very interesting. To keep the exact size of the balloons will help a self-made device. It is made as follows: on a cardboard box with a pair of compasses you need to draw a circle, remove the inside. All balls are measured by this pattern.
Decorating with balloons filled with helium is a rather expensive task. With a great desire, you can make a mixture to fill the balls yourself. To do this, soda, table vinegar and water are taken in equal proportions. All components are placed in a bottle. After the balloon is inflated, it is necessary to hold it over the bottle for several moments. The result will be the same as if you filled the balls with helium.
Color
To design a banquet hall, it is not necessary to invite an expensive decorator, you can do everything yourself, the main thing is to have a sense of taste and be familiar with the basics of decoration. If you entrust the design of the banquet room to close people, you can be sure that they will put all their passion, creativity in this matter and will try to take into account the wishes and tastes of the newlyweds when decorating. Such a design will definitely be the one and only, since it will significantly differ from the hackneyed patterns used by the designers. Another important nuance: the design of the hall by close people will cost much cheaper (you only need to purchase material), and the money saved can be spent on much more important things than balls and flowers.
White color, as a rule, is the main one for a wedding celebration. It harmonizes perfectly with any bright colors, makes them somewhat muffled and more cheerful. If you shade the white color with pastel colors, the general atmosphere of the hall will acquire refined, noble features. Blotch of white is required even when decorating a thematic wedding, where the main tone is different, since table elements such as tableware are most often presented in white. Accordingly, a white touch will bring harmony to the overall design concept.
All defects and hastily completed work on the design of the room become immediately noticeable to the guests. Therefore, in order not to spoil the whole event with an irresponsible attitude, it is necessary to start preparing for the holiday in advance. This means that agreeing on a rental of the necessary attributes (flower arch, chocolate fountain, tablecloth and other elements) is in advance. And also long before the event, it’s worth buying all the decorative elements, from materials to scissors and glue.
Table decoration
When drawing up a general plan for decorating a room, you must immediately decide whether the place for the bride and groom will stand out against the general background or whether it will fit harmoniously into a single concept, what materials need to be purchased, how to combine all the items in the room into a single concept. Tables are best covered with tablecloths in white, golden hue or the color of baked milk. Such colors will be in harmony with any service and the overall style of the event. It is recommended to decorate tablecloths with tulle, lace, satin ribbons or artificial flowers.
Paper figures from napkins (hearts, swans) will look beautiful on tables. It is important to choose products that will contrast with the overall color scheme of the room. In addition to the usual, you can use fabric napkins, pre-starched. Napkins of both types on all tables should be the same in color and shape.
If vases with fresh flowers are planned on the tables, then the distance between them should be at least 1.5 meters, and the height of the compositions themselves should not exceed 25 centimeters. If the event takes place in the fall, multi-colored leaflets can be put in vases along with living flowers. Vases for bouquets can be selected tall and thin, resembling wine glasses, and can be flat vessels on thin high legs. Volumetric vases with water look very stylish, on the surface of which buds of roses are floating. You can complement the unusual composition with floating candles.
To properly arrange tables for the celebration, it is necessary to take into account the size of the room and the wishes of the young. If the size of the room allows you to allocate a separate place for them, for example, on a kind of pedestal - this is one. And if this is not possible or the bride and groom want to sit surrounded by guests - this is different. And in this case, the decorator will have to think about how to plant the young ones so that they can all be clearly seen and they can be approached unhindered for congratulations and giving gifts.
Banquet room decor
The room will sparkle with new colors if you decorate its ceilings and walls with luminous garlands of incandescent bulbs and light music. All this will create an unusual fabulous atmosphere. You can decorate the ceiling with paper garlands. To do this, you need a sewing machine, colored paper, a sewing needle, thread. Ready-made garlands must be hung under the ceiling and in special wedding zones so that they do not interfere with the guests of the holiday or the newlyweds.
You can transform the room, "fit" it to the desired style and color, using drapery fabric. In addition, the material will hide from the eyes all quality defects in the hall. The fabric can decorate any surface, not only the walls and flow space, but even the floor. It is not necessary to drape all the walls completely (if there is no objective reason), it is enough to highlight the most important areas with the material: places for young people, for parents, a table with sweets, gifts.
Decorating the ceiling with fabric is recommended when the wedding has a certain thematic direction, so that some elements of the restaurant's decor do not violate the integrity of the concept. In addition, the drapery of the ceiling space with a cloth will allow you to divide the room into zones: a dance floor, a buffet table, a sweet table and others. Decoration with fabric along with the colors of columns, arches, stairs, doors will give the hall a festive atmosphere. It must be remembered that you can fix the fabric on the ceiling only with the help of special fasteners. It is better to choose a translucent fabric (chiffon, mesh, tulle, guipure), which will give the interior of the room tenderness and grace.
Decoration of home decoration
Decoration at a wedding is subject not only to the walls and ceiling, but also to the table. All elements present on it, from napkins to fruit baskets, should be decorated according to the general theme. We must not forget about the decoration of glasses. Glasses for newlyweds can be decorated with their own hands, using a composition of rhinestones, sequins, fabric flowers, fixed to the glass with superglue. The dishes made in the same tone with the general style of the room will look good.
Simple and stylish, you can make glasses with satin ribbons. It is enough to wrap the fabric of one or several colors around the wine glass several times, and form a bow from the tips. Decorate ribbons can be medium-sized crystals. It is better to burn the ends of the tapes so that they do not scrub and do not open. A glass with lace decorated with rhinestones and beads will look very gentle. If desired, you can add 5-6 flowers per tone to these elements.
Glasses of the newlyweds can be painted with special paints on glass. As a pattern, you can choose openwork ligature, branches with blossoming leaves. If the final result seems to you too faded, the leg of the glass can be decorated with a small magnificent bow. You can decorate the glasses of the young with small living flowers, for example, buds of spray roses. Ideally, if the flowers are the same as in the bridal bouquet. You can take not whole buds, but separate petals, fixing them with an overlap with glue. However, this option will look perfect for a short time, then the petals will fade, lose their shape, may sag or wrap.
On the table of the newlyweds, according to the tradition that has been established over the years, there are two bottles with alcoholic drinks, which are opened not during the wedding, but on the first anniversary and in honor of the baby’s birth. You can decorate them in different ways, for example, tie a satin bow that matches the environment in color. You can decorate them under the outfits of the bride and groom with the inclusion of details that are really present on the costumes of the heroes of the occasion. You can decorate champagne with original labels made to order, since now this is not a problem. As a supplement, you can include young photos in the label. You can make bottles of alcohol and glasses in the same style.
As for the decor of chairs, then it is quite possible to limit ourselves to the usual option: use plain covers, tied with a bow on the back. The decor will look good, in which the bow on the chair combines with shuttlecocks, echoes in appearance with fabric ornaments placed along the edge of the table. Covers can be replaced with colored satin ribbons. The decoration with ribbons in the open air will look especially beautiful, since the breeze will pick them up and sway. As a decor for chairs, you can use small floral arrangements attached to the back, or even whole flower garlands. Original signs on newlyweds' chairs will look with inscriptions of names or only initials, as well as children's photos.
In order for the newlyweds to immediately find their places in the open-air ceremony, not only nameplates with signs, but also large white balls can be attached to their chairs. Wedding baskets can replace the effect of a dozen vases with their stunning appearance. Such decorative objects are placed around the perimeter of the banquet hall. They can be decorated with lace, satin ribbons, organza roses, pearls, feathers, rhinestones, soft toys, sweets, fabric figures of butterflies.
DIY decor elements
If you want to arrange a room for a wedding, you want to be interesting and romantic, but at the same time you don’t pay too much for it, it’s best to use paper-made decor. It can be paper lanterns, garlands, multi-sized pompons. Among the advantages of such jewelry it is worth highlighting the following:
- fill the premises with lightness;
- hide any visual imperfections in the room;
- suitable for any season;
- do not lose shape;
- do not require special care;
- Perfectly matched to a certain color and style of celebration.
To decorate chairs, walls or a wedding arch, paper lanterns can be made. They will be appropriate for the design of the photo zone. These decorative elements can be fixed under the ceiling, like the starry sky, or be combined into one long garland. If the general style of the banquet hall is made in light pastel colors, lanterns can be made of bright paper.
You can make pompons from corrugated paper or crepe paper, which are ideal for decorating the area behind the newlyweds, the ceiling, walls, arches, columns. Jewelry is made very quickly. In addition to paper, you will need scissors and wire. The color of the pompons should be the same as the main color of the decorated banquet hall. From pompoms for backdrop decoration, you can make long garlands and weave them in the form of rings or hearts. All decor elements must be paired. To make the decor look bright, for the basics it is worth choosing corrugated paper in saturated colors.
Making colored garlands of corrugated paper is easy thanks to its flexibility. It is enough to take the necessary tone of the material and cut out twenty hearts, ten circles and five butterflies from it. The sizes of these figures may vary based on your individual wishes. You can wear the figures on a satin ribbon or ordinary fishing line of a suitable size. It is also possible to decorate the room with wedding posters. Themed drawings can be applied to them and a place is left for guests to write wishes.
How to decorate a car?
The easiest option for decorating cars is to decorate them with colored satin ribbons. These decorative elements are attached to the bumper of the cars front and rear. For those who are not looking for easy ways and are ready to make a real masterpiece from a wedding procession, one can recommend using living and artificial flowers, soft toys, large bows in the design of a car. By the way, real flowers can be mounted not only on the front bumper, but also on the doors of the car. To do this, plants are collected in miniature bouquets, tied with silk ribbons and decorated with a bright mesh veil. Bouquets are fixed near the door handles.
Large organza bows can be placed on the roof of the car or near the rooms. If the main tone of these decorative elements is pastel, the center should be shaded with a piece of bright silk.You can decorate the car with special washable paints. The disadvantage of this decoration is that in rainy weather there will be no trace of it. If you are afraid to paint cars, replace the paint with thematic applications. Salon of wedding cars is rarely decorated, but if this is part of your design ideas, then choose satin ribbons and small bows. These elements should not interfere with you or the driver.
Common decoration errors
If the banquet hall for the wedding is entrusted to decorate the designer, you should not interfere in his concept, trying to improve it. The specialist knows better what the final result will be. If he brings your wishes into a pre-thought out scheme, the general idea of decorating the room may be violated. For those who have little design experience, the question may arise about choosing the appropriate color for the decoration of the room. In this matter it is very important not to overdo it, otherwise the hall will look too colorful and uncomfortable. It is better to give preference to pastel colors, they are a universal option. If you are arranging a thematic wedding, for example, in a marine style or in the Tiffany style, then it is much easier to determine the color scheme - white-blue and mint.
Before starting design work, it is best to draw up a plan where, what, and how it will be delivered and decorated. Then the decoration of the room will be distinguished by an integrated approach. The color scheme of the wedding will have to be correlated with the style and colors of the banquet hall. If your wishes and characteristics of the hall are contrary, it’s better to choose another place for the celebration, otherwise decorative “re-equipment” will be very expensive, and the result may not live up to expectations. Stylistically, the entire room, objects and the smallest details of the interior should be made in the same style. Delinquency will bring chaos and disharmony.
If bright colors are chosen for the design of the wedding, they should be found in strokes, as accents, and not everywhere. Moreover, these colors can be found not only in the main tone, but also in its shades, and they should be slightly muffled in more calm tones. The decor of chairs for guests is not always appropriate. For example, if the chairs are soft, without damage and scuffs, you should not decorate them with a cloth or bow (unless their coloring does not contradict the basic color scheme of the room). If there are a lot of decor items in the room (paintings, columns, large chandeliers, floor carpet in bright colors), then you need to bring in some other elements to a minimum. Enough will be the bouquets on the table.
A wedding celebration taking place in nature requires a minimum of decor.
Good examples
- This is a simple but very original decor of chairs with satin ribbons of three colors (pink, mint, white), corresponding to the color scheme of the festive hall.
- Wooden chairs decorated with floral bouquets to match the floral arrangement on the table are self-sufficient.
- The chairs of the newlyweds, decorated with initials from living plants, look very unusual. The letter of the bride’s name is made of small white flowers, and the first letter of the bride’s name is made of fern.
- The decor of wedding chairs looks original in the form of a canvas bag and with the initials of the young and the date of the wedding.
- A white car decorated with single red roses fixed with scotch tape looks very impressive.
- The arches from the balls look beautiful and, framing the banquet hall on both sides, make it more comfortable. Having passed through the arch, the newlyweds, as if entering a new life, go to a new level of relationship.
- If the wedding is held outdoors, then in the evening the garland from incandescent lamps will look very beautiful. They will have not only an aesthetic, but also a practical function.
- The idea of decorating tables with a green garland and similar flower bouquets will not leave anyone indifferent.
