7 Wedding Decor Ideas to Set the Stage for Your Big Day
Wedding decor is one of the funnest parts of wedding planning. The options are truly endless, and it can all become overwhelming. To help you navigate the world of wedding decor, we've curated a list of popular trends that are sure to impress your guests:
A Beautiful Card Box
Card boxes can be made of simple cardboard, or gold and glass! Since many guests opt to send their gifts directly to a couple’s home, a card box is a must have for collecting cards filled with well-wishes.
Our favorite card boxes:
Greenery Galore
We all love wedding flowers, but greenery is also an important accent to your venue. Garlands, hanging vines, and potted plants bring a fresh, organic feel to your wedding venue. This trend pairs well with a rustic or garden wedding theme, but can also add a touch of whimsy to a more modern celebration. Consider using different textures and shades of greens to create a layered and visually interesting effect.
Pro-tip: don’t be afraid of fake greenery! You can mix it in with real flowers or use it to line an aisle. Fake greenery is much easier to work with as well.
Statement Lighting
Lighting can completely transform a space, and your wedding day is no exception. String lights draped overhead, fairy lights in jars, or hanging lanterns can create a magical and intimate atmosphere. You can also use colored lighting strategically to highlight specific areas, like the dance floor or the dessert table.
Welcome Signage
A beautiful welcome sign sets the tone for your wedding and lets guests know they've arrived at the right place. But your welcome sign can be a mirror, a wooden board, or even a chalkboard. You can use custom vinyl stickers to personalize your welcome sign with your names, wedding date, or even a special message. No matter what style you choose, make sure it reflects the overall theme of your wedding.
Photo Backdrop
Create a fun and interactive element for your guests with a designated photo backdrop. This could be anything from a floral wall to a sequined curtain. Don't forget to provide props like hats, boas, and signs to add to the fun! For a unique touch, consider using a vintage car, a doorway adorned with flowers, or a scenic spot outdoors as your backdrop.
Signature Cocktails
This may not technically be decor, but you can choose a signature cocktail that reflects your personality. A well-placed bar sign with your signature cocktails listed is a perfect touch. You can even name them after your beloved pets! Garnishes like fresh fruit or herbs can elevate the drink’s presentation. If you're having a summer wedding, a refreshing lavender lemonade or a watermelon mojito might be perfect. For a winter wedding, a warm spiced cider or a pear martini could be delicious options.
Guestbook Alternatives
Guestbooks are a lovely way for your guests to leave you well wishes and memories from your special day. But there are so many creative alternatives out there these days! Consider an instant photo guestbook, where guests can take a polaroid picture and write a message on the back. Providing an empty photo album will allow your guests to slip the photo in so it doesn't get lost! A globe guestbook is another fun option - guests can sign a globe and leave a message. You can display your globe in your home and remember all the people who made your wedding special.
