Decoration of the wedding hall: general rules, an overview of current styles and design tips

Wedding is a very serious matter. If a boy and a girl are going to spend their whole lives with each other in love and harmony, then they will clearly want to enter into an alliance, having informed everyone about it.

Each couple carefully begins to plan what time of the year it is better to play a wedding, in what style it will be and where the event will take place. The process of preparing this celebration is not easy and quite lengthy. It takes about six months to prepare the wedding to warn guests and send out invitations, choose a venue, wedding style and images of the couple, find a good organizer of the evening and arrange a banquet hall in the chosen style.

Of course, first you need to find a room to celebrate a significant event. Usually, all good places need to be booked in advance, which is why the entire period of preparation for the wedding stretches. Therefore, the choice of a banquet hall is usually the very first thing young people do.

At the discretion of the newlyweds, the wedding can take place both indoors and outdoors. Here, the choice of location depends, as a rule, on the weather. In summer, you can rent a beautiful manor, gather guests on the open veranda and celebrate a significant day in the open. In winter, restaurants and banquet halls are always rented.

In order to decorate the territory of the wedding celebration in an appropriate style, use certain materials for decorating the room. With the help of various kinds of decorations, the festive look is given not only to the furniture, but also to the walls, and the ceiling, and windows.

Fabric is the most commonly used material for changing the decor and interior. White, gold, satin and shiny fabrics on tables and windows give the whole room a festive and solemn appearance. They decorate chairs, hang them under the ceiling and use them for wall decor. The fabric can either simply lie on the tables in the form of a tablecloth, or be draped in soft folds. It can be both light and airy for a romantic wedding, and quite heavy and stately for more majestic styles, for example, Byzantine. Fabrics are also used in the form of ribbons, bandaging the legs of glasses, backs of chairs, or simply fastening the canvases under the ceiling so that they hang freely under it, creating beautiful waves.

The use of flowers is the most versatile technique for decorating a wedding party. Flowers can even set the style of the holiday. They decorate tables, they are hung from chandeliers to create a romantic atmosphere in the hall. Flowers are used in accordance with the theme of the evening. Romantic style suggests the presence of wildflowers. The royal reception obliges to decorate tables and furniture with roses and hydrangeas. Flowers can even become a pass for a festive evening. Newlyweds can mention such an interesting pass in wedding invitations.

Not a single holiday can do without balls, and a wedding is no exception. Their color usually harmonizes with the color background of the entire banquet hall, or, conversely, stands out in contrasting color or shiny spots against the general background. The balls look great when they fill the entire area of ​​the ceiling, and the ribbons from them hang freely over the heads of those present.

You can choose the style of the wedding itself very quickly if the couple has a common hobby. Let's say they are both crazy about Japanese cuisine and respect Japanese culture. Then the party in the Japanese style is very handy for both. The best option for a Japanese-style wedding would be, no matter how primitive it sounds, a Japanese restaurant that is already decorated with a Japanese style. The decoration on the tables can be sakura branches, orchid flowers. If you are engaged in the design of the hall yourself, then the walls can be decorated with beautiful large Japanese fans, Japanese lanterns can be hung on the ceiling, and, of course, candles that will become a very atmospheric decoration for the celebration in the Japanese style.

Newlyweds can pay tribute to traditions and arrange a wedding in the Russian style, or, in another way, in the style of a rustic. Such a wedding can be celebrated outdoors by taking off a Russian estate, or by ordering a banquet in a restaurant whose style is connected with Russian traditions. You can support this theme by creating a warm Russian atmosphere in the room using wood and painted tablecloths, candles and furniture in the form of long benches and oak tables. In autumn, nature will become the best decoration for a wedding in the Russian style. It itself is full of colors, so the purchase of decor for an outdoor wedding in the autumn will be minimized.

The idea of ​​creating a wedding in the style of "Tiffany" can be visited by admirers of Audrey Hepburn. Many girls are crazy about this actress, as well as the American cinematic classics of the 60s “Breakfast at Tiffany's.” Tiffany & Co is the largest brand of jewelry accessories, as well as women's and men's jewelry. Their well-known turquoise boxes will give the wedding their color and style. Turquoise and white - these are the main shades of celebration in the style of American classics of the last century.

The Tiffany style is a style of elegance and retro. This is refinement and emancipation at the same time. White balls and snow-white porcelain at round tables, elegant long candles, delicate and sparkling crystal without a pattern - these are the characteristic features of this style. Particular attention should be paid to decorating the hall with flowers. Most often they use roses, hydrangeas and necessarily white.

Loft is an unusual wedding design. Here, it is unlikely to be limited to fabrics and balls. Only a stylized room will help in designing such an idea for a wedding. Stone and brick walls, wooden floors and high ceilings, rich furniture from the century before last, exquisite dishes and many candles - this is the basis on which the loft style is created.

Against the background of brick walls, white and light olive tones will be most beneficial. These colors should be the drapery of tables and chairs. Textiles also include the use of satin white ribbons. Also on the walls electric yellow garlands and an abundance of white flowers such as calla lilies, roses or lilies will advantageously look.

This is not to say that the loft style is artsy and pompous. He is rather restrained and aristocratic. His restraint is shown in the minimal decoration of the celebration, and the main decor is flowers, a chamber light under the ceiling and candles on round tables for 10 people. Aristocracy is shown pompous furniture, which is represented by chairs, tables and several sofas, as well as fine dishes.

Well, of course, you can not forget about the classic design of the wedding. This is a universal option for those who are tormented with a choice, the result of which becomes a classic of the genre. White fabrics, silver balls, and pink or red roses will never go out of style. In this style, it is important to observe the harmony of colors, not to go too bright shades and maintain an elegant style. White pearls, satin ribbons and tablecloths in ivory color complement the classic style of the wedding celebration. In whiteness of scenery, there can only be one additional color, for example, in color compositions. Pink peony flowers perfectly complement the atmosphere of a classic holiday of two lovers' hearts. If at the wedding only white flowers are meant, then the shade of the holiday can be supplemented with golden balls and ribbons tied to the backs of chairs.

By the way, gold can be used in the design of a wedding in the Byzantine style. In this embodiment of the decor of the premises, the wedding will seem truly royal. It is quite possible to add red here. It should not be the main one and overlap the golden hue, but some accessories in this color can be used for the "wedding of kings." Gold should be present in everything, emphasizing the richness of the event. The danger of this style lies in the fact that with it you can easily go too far in decorating the room.

The color that dominates the design of the room where the celebration will be held plays a huge role. Under no circumstances should bright, acidic or depressive colors be allowed. Brightness can annoy guests, affect the psyche negatively. Depressive colors, on the contrary, will make guests bored, yawn or cry, which is basically possible, but undesirable.

Most often, young people choose white, beige, pink-blue, gold, blue or lilac colors. When choosing, some are guided by the color of the season in which the wedding is supposed. So, the September celebration may well be held in autumn tones of light yellow and gold, and the decoration of the hall in the winter season can be represented by white, fluffy fabrics resembling winter snowstorm and soft snow.

The hall for the spring holiday can be decorated in blue tones or light green, which mark the arrival of warmth, and in summer, during the hottest period, all shades of yellow are suitable - from soft beige to warm honey.

Someone will decide that a red wedding can successfully emphasize a summer wedding. But this opinion is erroneous. Red is a very dangerous shade. Yes, it will be beneficial to look at the bride’s snow-white dress, but the guests’ eyes will simply get tired from the abundance of red. Moreover, red is an aggressive and defiant shade, and not everyone likes it, unless, of course, the young dare to arrange a wedding in the Soviet style.

If the bride is still not indifferent to the red tint, then it is worth paying attention to the color of Marsala. This is a deep cherry shade with a muffled brown undertones, it looks very impressive, emphasizes the whiteness of the dress and sets the royal tone for the whole event.

More active colors like blue and violet are supposed to be used only in combination with the main color. Deep blue can be partially present in the form of blue ribbons on glasses or invitations, in compositions from spheres. Color combinations must also be respected correctly. In shades, for example, green and red cannot be used. Yellow and blue will also not look good in a duet to decorate the hall.

To make your task easier, you can choose the dominant color. Suppose lilac, which will be the main one, should be combined, if possible, only with white. All shades of white are so versatile that they combine all colors.

Even if the best materials, accessories, and the wedding venue were used in the design of the banquet hall, it is impossible to insure yourself against mistakes that can be made during the preparation of the holiday banquet.

For example, choosing a color for a wedding is one thing, but sticking with it in everything is another. The task is difficult for the young. This is the main decoration error, as well as unsuccessful color combinations that only spoil the whole look of the room.

It must be remembered that the style of the wedding should be in harmony with the room, namely with color, accessories, and the theme of the evening. You can’t put red napkins on plates at a wedding in the Tiffany style, just like you can’t run blue balls under the high ceiling in a loft style room. This is completely inappropriate and ill-conceived in terms of design, so you do not need to try to combine the incongruous.

Excessive design is also a common mistake. Many begin to engage in the design of the banquet hall so enthusiastically that they go overboard and go into such wilds that only then they begin to realize that a lot has been invented, but in fact half of the decorations are absolutely not needed. The result is a waste of budget and money thrown to the wind.

The main mistake in designing a banquet in the open air is the lack of tents, which in the heat cover guests from the sun, and in the rain they save them from getting wet. Fixing all the decorations should be done in good faith. It will be unpleasant to see the moment of their fall on the heads of the guests.

The sound is to some extent also the decoration of the evening, so the sound design of the room is very important. Often guests complain about too loud music.

In fact, caring for guests is the first thing young people should think about. Although it was their evening, they invited the most dear guests to the event with whom they wanted to share this event. Yes, this is the day of a couple of lovers, but if there are not enough chairs for visitors to the event, the solemn moment can be spoiled.And, of course, there should be a reserve of seats in case of unforeseen guests.

Trouble can occur when recounting dishes and cutlery specially purchased in the color of the room. The lack of them will overshadow the mood of not only the guest, but also the main characters of the holiday, and choosing plates to the tone of those provided by the style, at the last minute oh how difficult.

But it is possible that one of the guests will be allergic to the plants selected for the decoration of the hall. Such a mistake is not permissible, and therefore it is worth checking with your relatives and friends whether they have allergic reactions to certain flowers.

If the newlyweds just decided to invite a designer, florist and decorator, then saving in this matter is a serious mistake. Taking people to work and paying them a small amount, you should not expect magic from them. Those who charge little for their services obviously either have little experience or are not popular in their business due to poor work and compensate for this with a low price. Therefore, do not save on what will be a memory for many years.

The room can be simply cold, and a winter wedding in such a hall with guests will freeze overnight. Therefore, in winter, you need to take care of a comfortable temperature in the room. If it cannot be provided, then you need to include heating appliances in the estimate. In the hot summer period, you need to take care of the cooling of the room using the split system. If this is not in the room, you need to find another banquet hall or have a party on the lake in the open.

It is necessary to discuss in advance with the owner of the premises such a technical issue as the fire extinguishing system: is it in order, is it in working condition. This point is especially important if there are a large number of candles in the decoration of the room.

What to choose, to prepare the premises for the celebration themselves or to invite a specialist, the newlyweds themselves decide. Having a great sense of taste and knowing which style suits you best, you can do it yourself. Many turn to specialists, telling them what they want from the holiday and in what style they see their wedding. Each of these options has its pros and cons.

If the newlyweds decided to decorate the hall themselves and give it a festive look, then you need to know that this is quite painstaking work. After examining the entire range of products presented in specialized stores for decorating banquet rooms, you need to choose the right accessories, and from a huge number of stores choose the one that offers the best combination of price and quality of the goods.

Unfortunately, it does not always work out as originally intended, so you always need to buy a little more material than planned, because when making jewelry something will surely break or deteriorate, and then you will not find this fabric or accessory anywhere. Because of this, the degree of nervousness may increase, and the good mood from the upcoming celebration will deteriorate.

Choosing a specialist to decorate the hall, the bride protects herself from unnecessary hassle, but an incident can also happen here if the negligent specialist suddenly chooses the wrong fabric or orders peonies in the flower shop instead of daisies, which the bride loves so much.

And, of course, do not forget that to do the work on your own is much cheaper than to hire a special person for this or a whole group of craftsmen.
