Don’t Forget the Wedding Decor
When you’re planning a wedding, it seems like there’s a million things to do and remember. In fact, many couples feel overwhelmed during the planning stages, which makes it easy to forget something. Fortunately, this handy guide to wedding decor can help you remember the must-haves on your big day.
Wedding Programs
Whether you’re getting married in tropical Maui or your own back yard, guests will want a keepsake of your wedding. And, for some couples, wedding programs are the perfect solution. Programs double as a type of decor, and your guests can take them home as a souvenir. Ideally, programs should include basic information about your wedding, such as the date and members of the wedding party, and a rundown of the day’s events. Of course, programs are optional, so don’t feel pressured to include them if you don’t want to.
Table Decor
Tables need a lot of dressing up to make them look special. That’s probably why so many couples leave out an item or two in this category. To avoid forgetfulness, you can hire a service to dress and decorate your tables. If you take a do-it-yourself approach, remember that you’ll need, at a minimum:
● Tablecloths
● Decorative centerpieces
● Placemats
● Plates
● Silverware
● Glasses
● Napkins
Ceremony Decor
Your ceremony is where the magic happens. Thus, pay careful attention to all the decor surrounding the “I do’s.” You’ll want some kind of backdrop or arch to draw attention to you and your partner, as well as decor for the altar and the aisle. Some couples also like to dress up each individual seat.
Ultimately, you need a lot of decor to pull off a pretty wedding. This guide can help you start thinking about what you’ll need. Remember, too, that you can always hire a wedding planner to reduce your risk of forgetting something. And, if you do leave something out, don’t panic. Your wedding day should be less about the decor and more about celebrating and declaring your love for your partner. If you can keep that in mind, your wedding will be beautiful no matter what.
