[P388]Pictures Of Wedding Decorations

by Jen Carter, Jen

Gorgeous and stylish wedding decorations are often the centerpiece of the wedding ceremony and reception, and can change the mood in any setting. Themed wedding decorations set the stage for your wedding theme, and can be used in many areas of your ceremony and reception locations. Common places to decorate for your wedding in an indoor and outdoor environment are:

At the Ceremony:

The Entrance or doorway (includes arches for outdoor gazebos and garden weddings)
Pews, chairs and Altars
Inside walls, or the first adjoining rooms from the entrance.
The area around the Guest Registry
Pathways and important wedding party vehicles

The Reception:

Outer door entrance
First entrance room
Tables - head table, food tables (buffet)
Walls
Wedding Cake (cake topper)
Ceilings

Since wedding ceremonies and receptions can pretty much happen anywhere that the couple choose, wedding decorations can apply based upon the theme you may choose. Decorating for your traditional wedding may mean beautiful pure white candles, fresh flower arrangements, embroidered cloth napkins. Planning to decorate for a fall wedding? This might mean pumpkins, preserves, ?hanging harvests?, grape vines strewn with gold and red colored leaves. Mood and setting will really influence where and how you decorate. See the room in the ?whole picture? and think of the theme or feelings conveyed ? do these match the same traits in the bride and groom?

Always remember your timeline. Since the wedding party is usually the biggest part of the decorating (unless you are using a wedding planner /coordinator) they must have a set plan for placing wedding decorations and taking them down. Often (especially in the case of a formal wedding such as a church) the wedding decorations must go up shortly before the wedding and are taken down immediately after. Think about the following details which will help you complete your decoration:

Colors and wedding theme, time of day of the wedding ceremony, location of the event, temperament of the bride and groom, feasibility and cost of design of decorating (budget), space to decorate and the total number of people attending.

You have bean waiting for your special wedding day your whole life. In your mind you have everything planned out, the dress, the flowers, the d'cor and the vow.

To ensure that your wedding day is all that and more you will have to put in a lot of time and effort in the months preceding it. A number of plans have to be made, a number of decisions have to be taken. Deciding what your wedding d'cor will be is just one of them.

However, despite being just one of the very many nitty-gritty's of the wedding your wedding decorations is an important subject so spend good time deciding exactly how it's going to be. How you will decorate your wedding (that is the ceremony area and the reception hall) will depend on a lot of factors

a. The theme you will choose for wedding ? Whether you choose to have a special theme wedding or not there will have to be a theme according to which you will be deciding your wedding d'cor. The wedding needs to reflect you and your spouse to be and at the same time echo the general mood of the day. Decide if you want a fun party wedding or a traditional ceremony first and then go ahead and choose your colors and decorations.

b. The time of your wedding ? The time of the year that you choose to get married will always have a role to play in how you will decorate your wedding. Say for instance, an outdoor wedding during winter months in say Chicago would be an impossible idea. if you planning a garden arrangement would not be wise.

c. Site Wedding VS Idea Wedding ? Simply put, a site wedding is one where the wedding d'cor is primarily dependant on the location of the wedding itself. So if you have managed to arrange your ceremony in a medieval castle or a yacht you can decorate it keeping in mind the locale and the ambiance of the wedding site. On a second thought if your wedding is to be in an otherwise non-descript area (like say your backyard) you can concentrate on a certain specific theme (or idea) to create a special atmosphere. This will be what is called an idea wedding. A Hawaiian beach party theme, a wild west theme or a Classical theme can turn any boring backyard into a partying hotspot.

d. Budget ? Finally, the budget will determine exactly how you will or may not decorate your wedding. No point planning bouquets of imported flowers and swans and ice sculptures if you are on a low budget that doesn't permit you anything more than a priest! Despite the way you choose to decorate your wedding, do make sure that the ceremony location and the reception hall reflect what is after all intrinsic to the event ----- the lover's union. Romance, if not anything else ought to be one of the basic requisites of all weddings, however they are done up. And if you can't find any accessories to push up the romance quotient don't worry about it wear that special look in your eyes that shines and says you are happy, that should do well enough.
