Planning for a wedding celebration can be a really long-drawn course of action but its all about getting things right, where mostly the brides play a major role…from invitations to decoration, from food to favors, from which to what and where to how?
So are you planning your wedding on your own?
Well, this can be a mighty mission but sure a lot of fun. It will allow you to tailor and craft every tiny detail for that special day….now isn’t that exciting? So, one of the most difficult areas of planning a wedding is getting the wedding decoration done. And, if you are planning your wedding already then you are probably the do-it-myself types and will want to find ways to make your own wedding decorations economical but still don't want them to look crumby. So let’s have some professional ideas to help you clear your heads.
Sanjana and Minakshi from the Little Gestures (LGs) have their say on themes to pick. They say, the Jodha Akbar-a theme from ancient dynasties and the Moroccan themes are the two most-sorted wedding decor themes for many Hyderabadis. They suggest more- like the ‘color-based themes’ of Royal Blue, Crimson or Ivory… Retro Nights, Western theme of Alter n Isle, Chaparral and even two single-colored Fusion Themes have worked just the right way for all their clients. They say the pulse of Eco-friendly Themes have pumped up in the city for people being more conscious, environmentally! And this, definitely earns an applaud!
The Eco-friendly Theme has been one of their most appreciated works- this one, held at Taj Krishna where you see no backdrops unlike all usual ones- absolutely no foliage on the background. They’ve used only cherry blossoms and Japanese bamboos with no fabrics at all. The only so-to-be-seen fabric used for the occasion, was said to have been a table cloth covering the centre table. In one of some engagement parties, they used only bark of trees, twigs and leaves to give it a natural creative look, held outdoor in the lawn. LGs seem to believe in simplicity. And simplicity is bound to work on nominal costs- so think about it! Quite a clean, elegant and a creative presentation!
Arranging for a wedding, pulls along a whole range of important pointers to remember asides choosing a theme like opting for the right flash of lighting, sorted chair covers, apt centerpieces with a harmonizing head table decor that creates a focal point for attraction, suitable dinnerware, towering desirable mandaps and most importantly, coordinating with right caterers.
A choice of some tantalizing array of dazzling colors like aqua mist, lime, red, chocolate, silver, black, gold, ivory or white for the chair covers, would be perfect to complete the entire decoration…depending on, your picked-color-themes.
All-time choice of candles, flowers, balloons, tassels and ribbons works ‘fab’ too, probably with a slight tinge of some off-beat on-the-run creativity…however this assortment requires a bit more attention to the color coordination, like using single-based-color favors or maybe even two would be fine to keep it all neat…avoid any sudden sharp contrast of colors as it can break the style of your overall decorating theme.
Pick your flowers for more sophistication:
Rose, daisy, tulip, daffodil, orchid, sweet peas, magnolia, pansy, lilies or even lotus.
Nothing can’t be as simple and inexpensive as centre pieces with floating candles with rose petals, orchid and pebbles like these:
If you want it all traditional, Gautami Reddy from Splendor Wedding and Celebrations have lot more to share. She’s worked on temple designs, Rajasthani Themes and believes in highlighting the Bride and the Groom more. The backdrop height is suggested to be not more than 1/10th of the Bride’s height, for too extended ones tends to be a downbeat for the entire decoration. She prefers the Fusion Theme of both western and traditional touch makes it a lot less costlier and adds, choosing the right color combination fixes it all.
Meher Aria, an Event Coordinator suggests themes like the Lotus, Tirupati and Chaitanya for traditional temple look and gives a practical budgetary option for selecting and enhancing the decorations of only certain sections rather than emphasizing the entire wedding venue, like maybe just the entrance and the stage or the centre area and the stage, anything preferred. She mentions of the courtyard or the Nizami theme being always on the run in the city with the English Garden and the Arabic Themes equally running high. So you can make your pick!
And importantly…don’t forget to pick the right set of rings to complete the celebration…and this would be with you, for life and forever!
These are just few tips that can help you add more sparkle and elegance to your wedding decorating ideas that you may well be considering. So the easiest way to choose decorations is to work with a theme of some sort, whether it’s just a nice color combination, the flowers you love, a favorite season of the year, or some specific theme based on a hobby or special interests. Themes will provide you with ample ideas for all sorts of wedding decor that you can use. Just use your imaginations and do not hesitate to experience and explore, it's the only way to create something unique for you and your groom-to-be.
