Decorating a wedding hall: general rules, an overview of current styles and tips on design
Wedding is a very serious matter. If the young man and girl are going to spend their whole life with each other in love and harmony, then they will clearly want to conclude an alliance, informing everyone about it.
Each couple meticulously begins to plan at what time of year it is better to play the wedding, in what style it will be and where the event will take place. The process of preparing this celebration is not simple and quite protracted. It takes about six months to prepare the wedding to warn guests and send out invitations, choose a celebration venue, wedding style and images of the spouses, find a good organizer of the evening and arrange the banquet room in the chosen style.
Features
Of course, you must first find a room to celebrate a significant event. Usually, all good places need to be booked in advance, which is why the entire period of preparation for the wedding is stretched. Therefore, the choice of a banquet hall is usually the very first thing that young people do.
At the discretion of the newlyweds wedding can take place both indoors and outdoors. Here, the choice of location depends, as a rule, on the weather. In summer, you can rent a beautiful manor, gather guests on the open veranda and celebrate a significant day in the open air. In winter, they always rent restaurants and banquet rooms.
Having chosen a room that is suitable in size and location, it is necessary to determine the style of the wedding itself in order to understand the nature of its design.
Decoration Materials
In order to decorate the territory of the celebration of the wedding in the appropriate style, use certain materials for decorating the room. With the help of various kinds of decorations, festive views are given not only to furniture, but also to walls, and to the ceiling, and windows.
the cloth
Fabric is the most frequently used material for changing the decor and interior. White, gold, satin and shiny fabrics on the tables and windows give the whole room a festive and solemn look. They decorate chairs, hang them from the ceiling and use for wall decoration. The fabric can either lie on the tables in the form of a tablecloth, or be draped in soft folds. It can be as light and airy for a romantic wedding, or rather heavy and stately for more majestic styles, for example, Byzantine. Fabrics are also used in the form of ribbons, tying the legs of glasses, the backs of chairs, or simply fasten cloths under the ceiling so that they hang freely under it, creating beautiful waves.
Flowers
The use of colors is the most universal technique for decorating a wedding party. Flowers can even set the holiday style. They decorate the tables, they are hung from the chandeliers to create a romantic atmosphere in the hall. Flowers are used in accordance with the theme of the evening. Romantic style suggests the presence of wildflowers. Royal reception obliges to decorate the tables and furniture with roses and hydrangeas. Flowers can even become a pass to a festive evening. Newlyweds may mention such an interesting pass in the invitation to the wedding.
Balls
No holiday now costs without balls, and a wedding is no exception. Their color is usually in harmony with the color background of the entire banquet hall, or, on the contrary, is highlighted in contrasting color or shiny spots on the general background.The balls look great when they fill the entire ceiling area, and the ribbons of them hang freely over the heads of those present.
Thus, with the help of balls you can create a single color background of the entire room, and the brilliance of the ribbons will support the solemnity of the occasion.
Styles
Choose the style of the wedding itself can be very quickly, if the couple have common hobbies. Suppose they are both crazy about Japanese cuisine and respect Japanese culture. Then the Japanese-style party is the best for both. The best option for a Japanese wedding style would be, no matter how primitive it may sound, a Japanese restaurant that has already been decorated to the Japanese style. Ornament on the tables can be branches of Sakura, orchid flowers. If you are engaged in decorating the hall yourself, you can decorate the walls with beautiful large Japanese fans, hang Japanese lanterns from the ceiling, and, of course, candles that will become a very atmospheric decoration of the Japanese style celebration.
Newlyweds can pay tribute to the traditions and arrange a wedding in the Russian style, or, in another way, in the rustic style. Such a wedding can be celebrated in the open air, removing the Russian manor, or ordering a banquet in a restaurant, the style of which is associated with Russian traditions. This theme can be maintained by creating a warm Russian atmosphere in the room with the help of wood and painted tablecloths, candles and furniture in the form of long benches and oak tables. In the fall, nature will be the best decoration for a wedding in Russian style. It in itself is replete with colors, so the purchase of decor for a wedding in the open air in the autumn time will be reduced to a minimum.
The idea of creating a wedding in the style of "Tiffany" can visit admirers of Audrey Hepburn. Many girls are crazy about this actress, as well as from the American cinematographic classics of the 60s "Breakfast at Tiffany". Shop Tiffany & Co is the largest brand of jewelry accessories, as well as women's and men's jewelry. They all well-known turquoise boxes will give the wedding their color and style. Turquoise and white - these are the main shades of celebration in the style of American classics of the last century.
Tiffany style is a style of elegance and retro. It is refinement and liberation simultaneously. White balls and white porcelain on round tables, elegant long candles, delicate and sparkling crystal without a pattern - these are the characteristic features of this style. Particular attention should be paid to the design of the hall in flowers. Most often used roses, hydrangeas and always white.
They can be placed at the entrance to the high vases or along the turquoise walkway that the future husband and wife will pass to their table.
Loft is an unusual design for a wedding. It is unlikely to be limited to fabrics and balls. Only a stylized room will help in the design of such an idea for a wedding. Stone and brick walls, hardwood floors and high ceilings, rich furniture from the last century, exquisite dishes and a lot of candles - this is the basis on which the loft style is created.
Against the background of brick walls, white and light olive tones will be the most beneficial. In these colors should be draped tables and chairs. Textiles also include the use of white satin ribbons. Also on the walls will look advantageous electric garlands of yellow color and an abundance of white flowers such as callas, roses or lilies.
This is not to say that the loft style is fussy and pompous. He is rather reserved and aristocratic. Its restraint is shown in the minimal decoration of the celebration, and the main décor is flowers, chamber light under the ceiling and candles at round tables for 10 people. The aristocracy is shown by pompous furniture, which is represented by chairs, tables and several sofas, as well as exquisite dishes.
And, of course, you can not forget about the classic design of the wedding. This is a universal option for those who suffer from a choice, the result of which becomes the classic of the genre.White fabrics, silver balls and pink or red roses will never go out of style. In this style, it is important to observe the harmony of colors, not to go into excessive brightness of shades and maintain an elegant style. The color of white pearls, satin ribbons and tablecloths in ivory color will complement the classic style of the wedding celebration. In the whiteness of decorations, there can be only one additional color, for example, in color compositions. Pink flowers of peonies perfectly complement the atmosphere of the classic celebration of two hearts in love. If at the wedding only white flowers are meant, then the holiday color can be complemented with gold balls and ribbons tied on the backs of the chairs.
By the way, gold can be used in the design of a wedding in the Byzantine style. In this version of the decor of the room, the wedding will seem truly royal. It is quite possible to add red here. It should not be the main and overlap the golden hue, but some accessories in this color can be used for the "wedding of kings." Gold should be present in everything, emphasizing the richness of the event. The danger of this style lies in the fact that you can easily overdo it in decorating the room.
Therefore, it is better to restrict to small and focus only on the color of gold.
Tips for choosing colors
The color that dominates the design of the room where the celebration will be held, plays a huge role. In no case should there be bright, acidic or depressive colors. Brightness can annoy guests, affect the psyche negatively, Depressive colors, on the contrary, will make guests miss, yawn or cry, which is permissible, but undesirable.
Most often, young people choose white, beige, pink and blue, gold, blue or lilac. When choosing, some are guided by the color of the season in which the wedding is expected. So, the September celebration may well pass in the autumn colors of light yellow and gold, and the decoration of the hall in the winter season can be represented by white, fluffy fabrics, reminiscent of a winter blizzard and soft snow.
The hall for the spring holiday can be decorated in blue or light green colors, which signify the arrival of heat, and in summer, during the hottest period, all shades of yellow are suitable - from soft beige to warm honey.
Someone decides that the summer wedding can successfully emphasize the red color. But this opinion is wrong. Red is a very dangerous shade. Yes, it will be beneficial to look at the white dress of the bride, but the eyes of the guests from the abundance of red will simply get tired. Moreover, red is an aggressive and defiant shade, and not everyone likes it, unless, of course, young people dare to arrange a Soviet-style wedding.
If the bride is still not indifferent to the red shade, then you should pay attention to the color of Marsala. This is a deep cherry shade with a muted brown undertone, it looks very impressive, emphasizes the whiteness of the dress and sets the royal tone for the whole event.
More active colors like blue and violet are supposed to be used only in combination with the main color. Deep blue may be present partially in the form of blue ribbons on glasses or invitations, in compositions from balls. Color combinations must also be observed correctly. In the composition of shades, for example, you can not use green and red. Yellow and blue, too, will not look duet to decorate the hall.
To make things easier for you, you can choose a dominant color For example, lilac, which will be the main, you need to combine, if possible, only with white. All shades of white are so versatile that all colors are combined with them.
Such a duet of shades will always look advantageous, and if the couple have not yet chosen the main color, you can always buy white jewelry and accessories in advance, which will then complete the overall picture.
Major mistakes
Even if the best materials, accessories were used to decorate the banquet hall, and the wedding premises turned out to be the most suitable, you cannot insure yourself against mistakes that can be made when preparing a festive banquet.
For example, choosing a color for a wedding is one thing, but sticking with it in everything is another. The task is for the young difficult. This is a major decorating mistake, as well as unsuccessful color combinations, which only spoil the whole look of the room.
We must remember that the style of the wedding should be in harmony with the room, namely with the color, accessories, theme of the evening. You can’t put red napkins on a Tiffany style wedding on the plates, just as you can’t launch blue balls under a high ceiling indoors in a loft style. This is completely inappropriate and ill-conceived in terms of design, so do not try to combine incongruous.
Busting in the design is also a common mistake. Many people start engaging in the decoration of the banquet hall so enthusiastically that they overdo it and go into such jungle that they only then begin to realize that much has been invented, but in fact half of the jewelry is absolutely not needed. The result is a waste of budget and money thrown to the wind.
The main mistake of a banquet in the open air is the lack of awnings, which in the heat close guests from the sun, and in the rain will save them from getting wet. Fastening of all decorations should be done conscientiously. It will be unpleasant to contemplate the moment of their falling on the heads of the guests.
The sound in some way is also the decoration of the evening, so the sound design of the room is very important. Often the guests complain about too loud music.
In fact, taking care of guests is the first thing that young people need to think about. Although this is their evening, but at the event they called the most dear guests with whom they wanted to share this event. Yes, this is a pair of lovers' day, but if there are not enough chairs for visitors to the event, the solemn moment can be spoiled. And, of course, there should be a reserve of seats in case of unforeseen guests.
Trouble may occur when recalculating specially purchased in the room color dishes and cutlery. The lack of them will spoil the mood not only of the guest, but also of the main characters of the holiday, and to pick up the plates to match those provided by the style, at the last minute, oh, how difficult.
Often used in the design of flowers.
But it is quite possible that someone from the guests will be allergic to plants chosen for decoration of the hall. Such a mistake is inadmissible, and therefore it is worth checking with your relatives and friends if they have any allergic reactions to certain flowers.
If the couple definitely decided to invite a designer, florist and decorator, the savings in this matter is a serious mistake. Taking people to work and paying them a small amount, you should not expect magic from them. Those who take little for their services obviously either have little experience or are not popular in their work due to poor performance and compensate for this with a low price. Therefore, you should not save on what will be the memory for many years.
Indoors it can be simply cold, and the winter wedding in such a hall together with the guests will “freeze” overnight. Therefore, in winter, you need to take care of a comfortable temperature in the hall. If it cannot be provided, then it is necessary to include heating devices in the estimate. In the hot summer period you need to take care of cooling the room with the help of a split system. If there is no one in the room, you need to find another banquet hall or arrange a party on the lake in the open.
It is necessary to discuss in advance with the owner of the premises such a technical point as a fire extinguishing system: is it in order, is it in working condition.This moment is especially important if there is a large number of candles in the design of the room.
Do it yourself or turn to professionals?
What to choose, prepare the premises for the celebration by yourself or invite a specialist, the newlyweds themselves decide. Having a wonderful sense of taste and knowing which style is the closest to you best, you can make the decoration of the room with your own hands. Many people turn to specialists, telling them what they want from the holiday and in what style they see their wedding. Each of these options has its pros and cons.
If the newlyweds decided to decorate the hall themselves and give it a festive look, then you need to know that this is quite painstaking work. After examining the entire range of products presented in specialized stores to decorate banquet rooms, you need to choose the right accessories, and from a huge number of stores choose the one that offers the best combination of price and quality of goods.
Before buying, you need to make an estimate, in which it is prescribed what to buy and in what quantity.
Unfortunately, it does not always work out the way it was supposed to be at first, so you always need to buy a little more material than planned, because when making jewelry, something will surely break or deteriorate, and then you will not find this fabric or accessory anywhere. Because of this, the degree of nervousness may increase, and a good mood from the upcoming celebration to spoil.
Having chosen a specialist to decorate the hall, the bride protects herself from unnecessary hassle, but there can also be an incident if the careless specialist suddenly chooses the wrong fabric or orders peonies in the flower shop instead of daisies that the bride loves so much.
And, of course, do not forget that doing the work on your own is much more budgetary than hiring for this special person or a whole group of craftsmen.
