Wedding Decorations - 4 Things to Consider

Wedding Decorations are the most misunderstood part of the wedding ceremony in so many ways and yet brides, without planners, will spend a lot of time and energy trying to decide on what should be used. The worse mistake I have seen as a Wedding Planner, is the determination by the wedding couple that the decorations that are what are termed, "Off the rack," are usually what is best. Sometime they may work and there is a reason that there are so many stock decorations made, but you need to really think it through.

1 - Always look at your budget as it is a consideration for most everything from a planning aspect. With that in mind you may automatically prevent your desires to be manifested in elaborate decorations. You may even want to forgo more fancy church decorations for where you will spend more of your time - at the reception.

2 - Your Theme or Style. Don't get caught with cheesy wedding bells from the wedding decoration shop when there is nothing that even hints that this would fit into the style that you are trying to portray. This will require a fairly reflective thought process to determine. Watch the landmines of bad decorations; they are everywhere.

3 - The Colors of your Theme. Again, don't have the big lacy white wedding bell if everything besides your wedding gown is purple. Maybe a bad example, but you see my point. Take some time to consider the decorations. Like good Interior Design, decorations should enhance not overwhelm.

4 - Be mindful of your Time and Location. Don't try to have decorations that might require far more time than you available to have them set. Always a good reason to have a great planner who is most usually aware of different locations time limitations and what you can and can not do. Most couples get a contract for a reception hall and don't truly understand what they can and can not do and sometime end up losing a deposit as a result of it.

Basic time tested tips that should at least give you a start on the thinking process needed for panning the decorations for the Big Day. take the time here and it could save you time and money in the end.
