Wedding hall decoration: general rules, an overview of current styles and decoration tips

A wedding is a very serious matter. If a young man and a girl are going to spend their entire lives with each other in love and harmony, then they will clearly want to conclude an alliance, informing everyone about it.

Each couple scrupulously begins planning what time of year it is best to get married, what style it will be and where the event will take place. The preparation process for this celebration is not easy and quite lengthy. It takes about six months to prepare a wedding to warn guests and send out invitations, choose a venue, wedding style and images of the spouses, find a good evening organizer and decorate the banquet hall in the chosen style.

Of course, you first need to find a place to celebrate the momentous event. Usually, all good places need to be booked in advance, which is why the entire preparation period for the wedding is stretched out. Therefore, the choice of a banquet hall is usually the very first thing young people do.

At the discretion of the newlyweds, the 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 house, gather guests on an open veranda and celebrate a significant day in the open air. In winter, restaurants and banquet halls are always rented.

In order to decorate the territory of the wedding celebration in the appropriate style, certain materials are used to decorate the premises. With the help of various kinds of decorations, they give a festive look not only to furniture, but also to walls, ceilings, and windows.

Fabric is the most commonly used material for changing furnishings and interiors. White, gold, satin and shiny fabrics on tables and windows give the entire space a festive and solemn look. They are used to decorate chairs, hang them from the ceiling and use them to decorate walls. The fabric can either just lie on the tables in the form of a tablecloth, or be draped in soft folds. It can be both light and airy for a romantic wedding, or quite heavy and stately for more stately styles, for example, Byzantine. Fabrics are also used in the form of ribbons, tying them around the legs of glasses, backs of chairs, or simply attaching canvases to the ceiling so that they hang freely under it, creating beautiful waves.

The use of flowers is the most versatile technique for decorating a wedding banquet. Flowers can even set the style of the holiday. They are used to decorate tables, they are hung from chandeliers to create a romantic setting in the hall. Flowers are used in accordance with the theme of the evening. The romantic style suggests the presence of wildflowers. The royal reception obliges to decorate tables and furniture with roses and hydrangeas. Flowers can even become a pass to a festive evening. Newlyweds can mention such an interesting pass in their wedding invitations.

Nowadays not a single holiday can do without balloons, and a wedding is no exception. Their color usually harmonizes with the color background of the entire banquet hall, or, conversely, stands out with a contrasting color or shiny spots against the general background. The balls look great when they fill the entire area of ​​the ceiling, and the ribbons from them hang freely over the heads of those present.

Choosing the style of the wedding itself can be very quick if the couple has common hobbies. Let's say they are both crazy about Japanese food and respect Japanese culture. Then the Japanese-style party will be just right for both of them. The best option for a Japanese-style wedding would be, no matter how primitive it may sound, a Japanese restaurant that is already decorated in a Japanese style. The decoration on the tables can be sakura branches, orchid flowers. If you yourself are engaged in the decoration of the hall, then the walls can be decorated with beautiful large Japanese fans, Japanese lanterns can be hung under the ceiling, and, of course, candles, which will become a very atmospheric decoration of the celebration in the Japanese style.

Newlyweds can pay tribute to tradition and arrange a wedding in the Russian style, or, in other words, in the rustic style. Such a wedding can be celebrated in the open air, renting a Russian estate, or ordering a banquet in a restaurant whose style is associated with Russian traditions. This theme can be supported 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 autumn, nature will become the best decoration for a Russian-style wedding. She herself is replete with colors, so the purchase of decor for an outdoor wedding in the fall will be minimized.

The idea of ​​creating a wedding in the style of "Tiffany" can visit admirers of creativity Audrey Hepburn. Many girls are crazy about this actress, as well as about the American cinematic classic of the 60s "Breakfast at Tiffany's". Tiffany & Co store is the largest brand of jewelry accessories and jewelry for women and men. Their well-known turquoise boxes will give the wedding its own color and style. Turquoise and white are the main shades of the celebration in the style of the American classics of the last century.

Tiffany style is elegance and retro style. This is sophistication and emancipation at the same time. White balls and snow-white porcelain on round tables, elegant long candles, thin and sparkling crystal without a pattern - these are the characteristic features of this style. Particular attention should be paid to the decoration of the hall with flowers. Most often they use roses, hydrangeas and always white.

The loft is an unusual design for a wedding. It is unlikely that it will be possible to limit ourselves to fabrics and balls. Only a stylized room will help in the design of such an idea for a wedding. Stone and brick walls, wooden floors and high ceilings, rich furniture from the century before last, exquisite dishes and many candles - this is the basis on which the loft style is created.

Against the background of brick walls, the most beneficial will be white and light olive tones. These colors should be used to decorate the drapery of tables and chairs. Textiles also provide for the use of white satin ribbons. Also on the walls, electric garlands of yellow color and an abundance of white flowers, such as calla lilies, roses or lilies, will look advantageous.

This is not to say that the loft style is pretentious and pompous. He is rather restrained and aristocratic. His restraint is shown in the minimal decoration of the celebration, and the main decor is flowers, chamber light under the ceiling and candles on round tables for 10 people. Aristocracy is shown by pompous furniture, which is represented by chairs, tables and several sofas, as well as exquisite dishes.

And, of course, we must not forget about the classic wedding decoration. This is a universal option for those who have suffered with a choice, the result of which is the classic of the genre. White fabrics, silver balls and pink or red roses 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. Pearl white, satin ribbons and ivory tablecloths complement the classic style of a wedding celebration. In the whiteness of the decorations, there can be only one additional color, for example, in color compositions. Pink peony flowers will perfectly complement the atmosphere of the classic holiday of two hearts in love. If at the wedding only white flowers are meant, then the shade of the holiday can be supplemented with gold balls and ribbons tied on the backs of the chairs.

By the way, gold can be used to decorate a Byzantine wedding. In this version of the room decor, the wedding will seem truly royal. It is quite possible to add red here. It should not be the main one 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 here, emphasizing the richness of the event. The danger of this style lies in the fact that with it you can easily go too far in decorating the room.

The color that dominates in the decoration of the premises where the holiday will be held plays a huge role. In no case should you allow the presence of bright, acidic or depressive colors. Brightness can irritate guests, negatively affect the psyche, while depressed colors, on the contrary, will make guests bored, yawn or cry, which in principle is permissible, but undesirable.

Most often, young people choose white, beige, pink-blue, gold, blue or lilac. When choosing, some are guided by the color of the season in which the wedding is supposed.So, the September celebration may well take place in 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 tones, which signify the arrival of warmth, and in summer, during the hottest period, all shades of yellow are suitable - from soft beige to warm honey.

Someone may decide that a summer wedding can be successfully emphasized by the color red. But this opinion is wrong. Red is a very dangerous shade. Yes, the bride's snow-white dress will look beneficial on it, but the guests' eyes will simply get tired of the abundance of red. 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 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 purple are supposed to be used only in combination with the main color. Deep blue can be present in part in the form of blue ribbons on glasses or invitations, in balloon compositions. The color combinations must also be observed correctly. In a composition of shades, for example, you cannot use green and red. Yellow and blue will also look unimportant in a duet to decorate the hall.

To make it easier for yourself, you can choose a dominant color. Let's say lilac, which will be the main one, should be combined, if possible, only with white. All shades of white are so versatile that all colors can be combined with them.

Even if the best materials and accessories were used in the design of the banquet hall, and the premises for the wedding 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 to it in everything is quite another. The task turns out to be difficult for young people. This is a major decorating mistake, as well as unsuccessful color combinations that only spoil the whole look of the room.

It must be remembered that the style of the wedding should be in harmony with the room, namely with color, accessories, and the theme of the evening. You can't put red napkins on the plates at a Tiffany wedding, just like you can't throw blue balloons under a high ceiling in a loft-style room. This is completely inappropriate and ill-considered from a design point of view, so you don't need to try to combine the incongruous.

Excessive styling is also a common mistake. Many begin to be so enthusiastic about decorating the banquet hall that they overdo it and go into such a jungle that only then they begin to realize that a lot has been invented, but in fact half of the decorations are absolutely unnecessary. The result is a waste of the budget and wasted money.

The main mistake of decorating an outdoor banquet is the lack of awnings, which cover guests from the sun in the heat, and save them from getting wet in the rain. The fixing of all decorations must be done conscientiously. It will be unpleasant to contemplate the moment of their fall on the heads of the guests.

Sound is to some extent also the decoration of the evening, so the sound design of the room is very important. Guests often complain about the music being too loud.

In fact, taking care of guests is the first thing young people should think about.Although this is their evening, they invited the most dear guests to the event, with whom they wanted to share this event. Yes, this is the day of a couple of lovers, but if there are not enough chairs for the visitors of the event, the solemn moment can be spoiled. And, of course, there should be a reserve of seats in case of unforeseen guests.

A nuisance may arise when recalculating dishes and cutlery specially purchased in the room color. The lack of them will darken the mood of not only the guest, but also the main characters of the holiday, and it is not easy at the last minute to choose plates to match those provided by the style.

But it is quite possible that some of the guests will be allergic to the plants chosen for the decoration of the hall. Such a mistake is impermissible, and therefore it is worth checking with your relatives and friends if they have allergic reactions to certain flowers.

If the newlyweds have definitely decided to invite a designer, florist and decorator, then saving money in this business is a serious mistake. By hiring people and paying them a small amount, you should not expect magic from them. Those who charge little for their services clearly either have little experience or are not popular in their business due to poor performance and compensate for this with a low price. Therefore, you should not skimp on what will be a memory for many years.

It can be simply cold indoors, and a winter wedding in such a hall with the guests will "freeze" overnight. Therefore, in winter, it is necessary 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 using 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 air.

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 order. This moment is especially important if there are a large number of candles in the decoration of the room.

The newlyweds themselves decide what to choose, prepare the premises for the celebration or invite a specialist. Having a great sense of taste and knowing which style suits you best, you can decorate the room yourself. Many 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 own 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 goods presented in specialized stores for decorating banquet halls, you need to choose the right accessories correctly, and from a huge number of stores choose the one that offers the best combination of price and quality of goods.

Unfortunately, it does not always turn out the way it was supposed at the beginning, so you always need to buy a little more material than planned, because when making jewelry, something will probably break or deteriorate, and then you will not find this fabric or accessory anywhere. Because of this, the degree of nervousness may increase, and the good mood from the upcoming celebration may deteriorate.

Choosing a specialist to decorate the hall, the bride protects herself from unnecessary hassle, but an incident can also happen here if a negligent specialist suddenly chooses the wrong fabric or orders peonies instead of daisies in a flower shop, which the bride loves so much.

And, of course, do not forget that doing the work on your own is much more budgetary than hiring a special person or a whole group of craftsmen for this.
