Deciding on Wedding Decoration

For some this is easy - almost second nature. For others this is a struggle or a disagreement with the soon to be Mr. Husband. The latest trends are bountiful and can be found everywhere. Usually speaking many will go with a type of wedding they want and decorate within that theme.

Ordinary weddings are not norm. They don't really exist anymore. It's about you (and hubby) - your likes - your personalities. Today, classic look and feels to weddings have gone to the extravagant and exquisite events. A theme will dictate your venue, wedding decorations, centerpieces and sometimes even the attire for the wedding party (and in extreme cases your guests attire too). Wedding themes can only be limited by someone's imagination. Deciding (or agreeing) on the theme is the most trying part for some couples. Deciding on the wedding theme is a fun and exciting part of the planning. A great "out-of-the-box" theme can leave guests with great stories and memories of your special day. But it doesn't imply that one has to spend huge amounts of money in planning a wedding. A simple wedding can be themed, just like an extravagant wedding can be non-themed. It really depends on the couple's expectation for their special day.
The style of your wedding will help you in selecting the right type of theme and decorations. Here are a few examples of wedding styles that are all the rave these days.

Simple Wedding Décor

In keeping things simple and fresh - your venue can have minimum decorations, centerpieces and lights. Subtle colors and flower decoration on main entrance, wedding stage and food stalls would be ideal. A touch of elegance can be done through use of yellow lights. These weddings are typically done for either themed or non-themed weddings.

Traditional Décor

This is for the person who is attached to roots and wishes to have a traditional wedding, then the type of venue will decide the look of the wedding. Weddings can happen in a temple, church or even at the couple's home. But this doesn't mean that the scope of decorations is limited in these cases. The best way to make your venue stand out is to have wonderful flower decorations as there is less scope for use of other decoration pieces. Use of typical bright colors like red, orange, yellow, green and blue will give the desired effect.

Larger than life Décor

Just to put this one in perspective - think of Indian Weddings. This is often the wedding of choice for top shots and celebrities - something you would see in Bollywood movies. Wedding decorations are generally themed on bride's taste and preference. The themes can be something unusual, like having Paris setup in the venue or having the venue decorated with ceiling treatments and overstated colors and textures. These weddings are typically planned and executed by wedding planners as there are so many moving parts and creativity needed to execute this type of theme properly without it looking gaudy.
In present times, people not only prefer the theme weddings – but it is the most popular of weddings.

Ultimately, the theme décor comes down to the following things:
- Budget
- Bride's preference
- Wedding Planners
- Wedding Theme

Wedding décor is an individual choice and should reflect someone's sense of style and taste. Tried and tested is no longer the rage. Experimental is the "in" thing.

So... what are you waiting for! Let's start planning for your wedding.
