How to Decorate for Your Wedding Ceremony

Picking the right decorations can set the entire tone for your wedding, and there are plenty of options to choose from. Here are some suggestions.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Venue
• Wedding budget

1. Schedule the wedding and pick the venue. The sooner you can set a date, the easier it will be to find a location and start planning a decorating scheme.
2. Get creative. Think of how the decorations can say something about both of you. For creative decorating ideas, visit SuperWeddings.com (see Resources below).
3. Look over the floor plans and choose key spots for decorations.
4. Attend a wedding fair held in or around your area. Look for pictures of different design styles and see how those may apply to your wedding and your venue. You can search online for local wedding fairs, which often take place during the warmer months.
5. Finalize your decoration choices, and purchase the supplies. Schedule a time with the venue when you and your friends can decorate the place. Or ask if the venue will do that chore for you.

Tips & Warnings

• Upon booking the venue, see what help they can provide with decorations. It’s possible they already have several different styles they can use in the venue. The one-stop shopping can save you time and money.
• Make certain you, your fiancé and the venue managers are on the same page about the rules governing decorations. Some venues may not allow you much freedom.
