4 Design Ideas for Your Wedding

The fact that you’ll marry the love of your life on your wedding day is enough to make it the most memorable day of your life. But if you really want to make it memorable, then choose knockout design elements, too. The four design and decor ideas in this blog post will help you make the happiest day of your life the most visually memorable one as well.

Choose a Theme

Choosing a visual theme, like Wild West or Alice in Wonderland, helps you to focus your design and decor ideas. It does this by providing you with a mental checklist of sorts. That is, when you’re tempted to buy too many decorative items for your wedding, one of the first questions you can ask yourself is: Does this fit my theme? If it doesn’t, then you can put the item back on the shelf (so to speak) without regret.

Budget Decor Ideas

Almost all almost-marrieds face budget constraints. The key to creating your dream wedding on a budget is to choose items that serve more than one purpose, according to The Knot.

For example, create a wedding photobooth for your guests to use after the ceremony. Decorate it with the ceremonial arch and decorative bouquets from your wedding ceremony to save some money.

Choosing the Venue

The venue of your wedding is akin to the setting of a movie or storybook. The right venue sets the visual tone and supports your wedding theme ideas. It also can be part of your budget considerations. Given that you have to choose a venue, you may as well choose one that works with your decorating and design theme.

Here’s how that would work. Let’s say that you’ve chosen an Alice-themed wedding. When choosing a venue, you might look at something like Russo's On The Bay because this venue has a floor pattern that kind of resembles a chessboard. If you recall, there was a giant chessboard in the second Alice book Through the Looking Glass. In this case, you’ve saved some money. You found a venue, which you needed anyway, that had one or more of the design elements that you’ve chosen for your wedding.

Make Some Visual Drama Statements

A memorable wedding has plenty of dramatic visuals and pictures that linger in the mind long after the waltz music has stopped. These elements don’t have to be expensive to add a dramatic look to your wedding. Decorating with a long row of candles placed on a long banquet table, or a black, red, and white color scheme are just a few examples to try.

The right design ideas for your wedding make it a memorable affair. Decorative elements don’t have to cost much to make an impact, however. Even a few simple candles on the table can make a difference if you know how to use them correctly.
