In fact, the decorations should be in line with your wedding theme. Otherwise you will end up with a prototype of decorations - a balloon arch, floral decorations and a reception table that has been seen hundreds of time, if not thousands. This is especially true if you are hiring a wedding decoration company. They will give you all the ready made items which have been used many times before. To this end you should have some ideas yourselves in order to push your company you are going to hire to do a better job.
You can try to think of decorations based on your hobbies. Indeed this idea can also be applied to your wedding theme so that the theme and decorations will be under the same umbrella of design concept.
There was a real case from a wedding decoration firm that the couple did not have any idea about the wedding theme and decorations at the very beginning. After detailed discussions with the couples, the designer of the decoration firm found that the bride loves oil paintings very much. Then they decided to make the reception hall like an art gallery with oil paintings. This idea turned to be a very successful reception hall decoration.
In the above case, the oil paintings are all by painters the bride loves. Although it seems that the groom was left out in the decoration design, the groom, as well the parents of the couple, were all satisfied with the decorations. In fact it will be more perfect if the paintings are done of the bride herself. In this case the wedding will at the same time a small exhibition by the bride. The guests will certainly be impressed and amazed by such a wonderful exhibition.
All of us have different hobbies and preferences and the above idea is only an example which cannot be applied to your case directly. However, the concept behind should be the same. Since the wedding should reflect both of you and your partner, planning for your wedding theme and decorations based on your hobbies and preferences is always a golden rule. For example, if both of you and your partner love to collect vintage items (As a matter of fact I myself is a vintage item collector). You can certainly bring your collections out to the reception hall and use them to decorate your wedding venue. You wedding reception hall will become an exhibition on vintage items, which should be a very fine and attractive exhibition, as well as a perfect reception hall for your wedding.
One last suggestion is that, you should never make up some "hobbies" in order to decorate your wedding venue. At the end of the day you are not an exhibition designer who is helping a company to hold an exhibition. It is your wedding and it will make no sense if the decorations are not reflecting you and your partner.
As you plan your wedding, you will soon begin to focus on the wedding decorations for both the wedding ceremony and the reception location. Ideally, the beauty and joy found in the bride and groom makes these two people the "centerpiece" of both events. While you want the decorations to enhance the overall appearance of both facilities, you do not want to plan decorations that will compete with the preexisting dcor that is found at the reception site or church.
Where to Begin When Planning Wedding Decorations for Your Reception
The best way to decide upon your wedding decorations is to visualize where each item will go and how it will look once it is in place. This requires that the individual responsible for decorating for your wedding be extremely familiar with the reception location and the ideas you have about your perfect wedding reception.
As you first enter the reception site, take a good look around the foyer. By actually visiting the physical location of your reception, walking all around the building and even taking photographs of any structural irregularities or other types of dcor that you want to showcase or remove during your event will be preparing the ground work for your decorations.
Keep alert to different things that you notice or that stand out to you as you walk around the room. Once you have a good feel for your reception location, it is time to begin planning the decorations that will enhance the overall effect of your wedding reception.
Important Touches That Mean So Much When You Are Planning Your Wedding Decorations
If your ceilings are tall, consider using clear wedding balloons as your centerpieces. These tall balloons are tied with narrow strips of tulle and held to the table with tiny party balloon weights. The wedding balloons are generally clear with ornate white writing upon them which is subtle and elegant as a wedding centerpiece without blocking the talking that often takes place across the tables.
If balloons are not your idea of wedding decorations, you can use fresh flowers or small green plants as centerpieces. Having a florist create tiny bouquets is an easy but often expensive way to create your reception wedding decorations. If floral bouquets are not your idea of wedding decorations, you could consider using square mirror tiles with reflective candles. This beautiful wedding decoration not only illuminates the entire facility, it creates a romantic ambiance within the entire reception facility during the extent of your wedding reception.
As you finalize your wedding decorations for the reception facility and the wedding chapel, keep in mind that the beauty is found in the love that is shared between the bride and groom not in the decorations that are placed around the area.
