Everybody has their version of a dream wedding but what is common to all is that every dream includes decoration without which a wedding would just lose its charm. An Indian Wedding is not a one-day function, it’s a mini-vacation with so many ceremonies filled with fun, food, games, dance & emotions. All of these ceremonies require different decorations, different themes because come on, you cannot have the same yellow-themed Haldi decoration for the Sangeet Night.
Now, yes it is true that a wedding decoration error can cost you a lot of money but it goes beyond that. Imagine you not being able to be the star, the highlight of your wedding because of some stupid decor error. Here are some tips that will save you from making what could be one of the biggest mistakes of your lives:
Decide on a Color Theme for the Place
For functions like the actual Shaadi or cocktail night, make it a priority to decide a color theme for the place. You may like the color blue but make sure it doesn’t match your dress because now would you want to camouflage yourself with the background as you enter. Your fairy tale entry deserves better and so decide on a color theme that is elegant and different from the colors on your outfit.
Focus on Minute Details
The wedding card, the way a table is set, photo booth, the stage, the sofa, all of these are little things that you just cannot neglect. Decorate the tables with fresh flowers with colors set according to the tablecloth. Make sure the sofa where the bride and groom will sit has its royal feel but is also comfortable for the beloved couple. These minute details can change the whole look of your wedding.
Don’t DIY Everything
While DIY details would look beautiful in events for which the venue is your home such as Haldi, Mehendi, Kirtan but understand that other ceremonies such as Sangeet Night and the Main Wedding are functions that will have a whole different ambiance and are large scale events. Leave the decoration to the experts in such cases and trust them.
Proper Lighting
It is no surprise that more than half of the people come to attend wedding ceremonies either for food or for pictures on their Instagram. Now, would you want to disappoint them by having poor lighting in your venue? Forget about them and think about how your wedding album would look with dull lighting. Make sure to get the best lighting ideas and items.
Hiding all the Existing Beauty of the Venue
You may have a whole set you need to put together for the wedding planned in your head and that is amazing. But it can also lead up to you neglecting the beautiful details that the venue already has. Make use of all the existing decorations that the venue has. It can also save up your money to a great extent!
Decorate the Whole Venue
Remember that wedding decoration does not just include the stage, the mandap, and the entry. While these three are very important, you might not want to spend your entire time, money, and effort worrying about these three. Other things need to be done like decorating the passage that leads up to the stage, the way to the mandap, chairs need to be set up near the mandap, the area near the stage, near the food counter. Keep all of these things in mind and plan accordingly!
Don’t pick the Wrong Backdrop for your Stage
While some ideas look so good in our heads, please know that the results are not always so good! Take Fabric Floral Decorations, for instance, one might love the idea of using it as their Backdrop but really think about it; How would fake fabric flowers look next to your oh-so fabulous Wedding Lehenga? Save your wedding album from some dull photographs and be smart about choosing the backdrop!
Think everything through! Make a list of things you don’t want and make sure you don’t get. Choose from the million ideas you can find online and make everything just a notch over perfect.
Make sure you follow these tips and avoid some big wedding decor mistakes from happening as you enjoy your dream wedding the love of your life.
