Decorating
Your Wedding
Today’s brides usually want to decorate their ceremony and
reception sites with favorite color and floral themes. You may
choose to create an entire wedding theme using elaborate decorations and
backdrops. Or, you may simply want a few flowers and
candles to
enhance your ceremony sit and dinner tables.
In many cases, decorations need to be set to just prior to the
ceremony at the church and taken down immediately afterwards.
Likewise reception tables are often not ready for decoration until
an hour or two before dinner. There usually isn’t enough time for
members of the wedding party to take on the decorating task. If you
prefer to have a hand in your own decorating, look for decorations
that can be prepared ahead and a very responsible person to arrange
them according to your wishes.
If you choose to have a florist prepare arrangements and
decorations, be sure to discus whether she/he will also set
decorate, and remove the items after the wedding. If you choose a
professional decorator, they will take care of
these tasks as a part of their duties, as well as create the
decorations themselves.
Professional decorators and florists generally have an inventory of
rental items that can be customized to carry out your wedding theme.
It's wise to rent table centerpieces,
vases, mirrors, silk and dried
flower arrangements, pedestals, arc ways, and plants that you will
only use for one day. Similar items can also be rented from part
rental or wedding specialty stores. Combine these items with
ribbons, tulle, or lace swags, candles and wreaths to make beautiful
customized wedding decorations.
Another money saving idea: consider using ceremony decorations at
the reception site as well - but again, be sure that someone
responsible will transport them quickly and set them up artistically at
the reception before your guests arrive!
