Discover her secrets to effortlessly harmonising your wedding aesthetic with your venue's
unique features
One of my personal favourite tips for creating a truly
enchanting wedding experience is to leverage the
unique features of your chosen venue and infuse them
into your styling components. Not only does this
approach offer a fresh perspective on your venue, but
it can also help you save a significant amount of
money when it comes to styling and staging your
special day.
Here are some top tips for incorporating your venue
into your wedding styling, while still maintaining a
sense of enchantment and magic:
1 Seek unconventional ceremony spots. Step away
from the traditional and consider alternative
ceremony locations within your venue. An ascending
staircase or a grand arched doorway can serve as
captivating settings for your vows. These architectural
gems provide a touch of drama and elegance to your
ceremony.
2
Embrace the beauty of nature at your venue by
harnessing the power of greenery. Enhance your
decor with lush foliage, vibrant plants, and blooming
flowers, making use of the existing natural
surroundings while enjoying the added benefit of
reducing floral costs. Illuminate your reception or
dance floor with enchanting fairy or festoon lights
hung from existing trees or one of my favourite trends
is a fabric welcome sign or seating chart that is draped
over a tree branch.
3 Opt for clear plinths and ghost chairs to accentuate
your venue's unique features. Their transparent nature
ensures that the focus remains on the stunning
backdrop provided by your venue. This clever choice
not only adds a touch of modern elegance but can be
adapted to any style of wedding aesthetic.
4 This sounds like an obvious one, but If your venue
boasts a breathtaking view, make it a prominent part
of your wedding experience. Whether it's a majestic
mountain range, a sparkling ocean vista, or a
picturesque countryside, flaunt the natural beauty that
surrounds you. Think barefoot beach ceremonies and
outdoor receptions amongst the winery vines.
5 The captivating architecture of your venue can serve
as a magnificent backdrop that adds depth and
character to your wedding celebration. Embrace the
grandeur and elegance of your venue's design
elements. Whether it's ornate pillars, soaring ceilings,
or intricate details, allow them to shine as focal points
in your styling.
Let your styling embrace the inherent beauty of your
chosen space and let it become a vital part of your
wedding narrative.
