Beach Wedding Decor and the Importance of Color

Welcome to our video series of the top 20 questions brides ask when planning their wedding.  A common question I get is:  How do I put my wedding colors into my wedding decorations?

You can also read the transcript below:

At your wedding ceremony, your wedding colors will be reflected in the bridal party’s clothing, and you really want the main focus to be on the bride and groom.  So, keep the decorations subtle—stick to touches of your colors in the candles or alter flowers, or  through aisle runners or draping of colored mesh along the pews.

At your wedding reception, your colors will mostly come through table linens in your wedding colors.  Table linens include table skirting, tablecloths, and napkins.  Sometimes, table runners or table squares are available, as well as chair covers.  Check with your reception site for what they have available, and what you are able to bring in.

The head table usually has a tablecloth and table skirting, but often tulle or mesh in your wedding colors is draped along the front of the table to give it a more prominent look.  Usually draping is provided by the bride and groom, not the reception site, but check on it’s availability before you buy.

The next most prominent way to bring your wedding colors into the reception site is through flowers and centrepieces.  Depending upon your wedding theme, or décor, you might also choose to add color through balloons, streamers, and similar products, or through props like arches, and canopies.

These are the most common ways to bring your wedding colors into your decorations.  Have fun with it and enjoy!  And if you really don’t think you can create your vision, consider hiring a wedding planner or an interior designer for the day to take care of it for you.

Good luck, and congratulations on your upcoming wedding.
