If you have a specific aesthetic in your mind when you’re planning a wedding, then you’re going to want to make sure that the details help it come to life as best as possible. However, there are some that are easy to forget when you’re trying to get everything else right. Here are some of the details you should be sure to have in mind and to plan ahead of time.
Signage and vignettes
Most weddings have some kinds of signage that are supposed to serve a practical purpose, but also help to better establish the vibe and theme of the wedding. Your welcome sign, your seating signs, any order of events, reserved seating signs, and so on, should all fit the same style, using the same typography and any graphical flourishes. You might want to plan a vignette around your welcome sign to draw more attention to it and give it a truly welcoming feeling, as well.
The flowers
While the signs might be the very first thing that your wedding guests see, the flowers tend to take up the most visual real estate. Choosing your wedding flowers is an exciting part of the wedding planning process, but also one that should be done well in advance since your florist may need to pull some strings and put some effort into acquiring the flowers that you need, so try not to leave it for too long.
Table and tableware
The wedding dinner is one of the big centerpieces of the whole event, so you want to make sure that you get it as right as possible. Most venues will have their own dinner settings, but you can also look at ways to spruce up the dinnerware by hiring themed settings to match the overall wedding theme. Make sure that you’re well aware if there’s anything you might want that won’t be provided by the venue, as well.
Drapes and fabrics
Your table settings, flowers, and any vignettes or signs might be the most attention-catching parts of your wedding decor, but you need the right backdrops to help it all blend and create a gorgeous, consistent setting. To that end, hiring the right curtains & drapes can help you establish the mood and overall theme of the aesthetic to great effect. Make sure that what you choose either complements or contrasts the details. Otherwise, the venue as is might not suit your details quite as readily.
Lighting
Lighting is naturally important for not just making sure that visibility is perfect in the venue, but also for adding your mood. Consider different types of lighting, such as candles for the tables, as well as accent lighting fixtures for the walls and other elements. If you’re doing an outdoor wedding, then you need outdoor specific lighting, as well.
The devil truly is in the details when it comes to having your wedding look just right. The tips above can help but working with the right professionals can take that stress right off your shoulders.
