Planning a wedding means making a thousand decisions, and among them one of the most important is the wedding decoration design, which doesn’t just mean choosing flowers and colours: it means creating a set-up that enhances the location, making it the perfect stage for your special day.
The venue dictates the rules: here’s why not every wedding decoration design works everywhere
When you imagine your wedding, you probably have a specific style in mind: romantic, glamorous, boho, minimal…
But beware! Not every set-up will suit every location.
Imagine you are dreaming of a super dramatic set-up with opulent flowers, crystal vases and glamorous golden details.
Now, imagine putting it in a country farmhouse: something doesn’t add up, does it? That’s why the first rule is to choose a location that supports and enhances the style you have in mind.
The mantra for a perfect set-up: Less is More
The key concept in all my designs is simple: don’t add, but enhance. A successful fit-out is not one that disrupts a venue, but one that enhances its beauty.
The “WoW”effect does not lie in an exaggerated or out-of-context setting, but in one that enhances a special feature, a landscape, an architectural detail.
Think of it as the perfect make-up: the classy one doesn’t show, but makes you look wonderful.
How to choose the perfect wedding decoration design for your wedding venue
Here are some technical elements to consider when thinking about your wedding decoration design.
Analyse the space
Is the venue large and majestic or intimate and cosy?
Does it have a view worth framing or fine architectural details?
Are the spaces already full of charm or do they need to be enriched?
If you choose a historic villa, it probably already has important decorative details, so better to opt for minimal and elegant arrangements. If, on the other hand, you choose a garden or a terrace, flowers and structures can be the protagonists without weighing it down.
Assess the overall mood
Will your wedding be elegant and sophisticated or rustic and informal?
Does the location support this style or does it risk creating an unharmonious contrast?
A boho wedding with carpets, lanterns and macramé will look great in a farmhouse or an olive grove, but will look completely out of place in a luxury hotel. Similarly, a minimalist total white set-up will get lost in a rustic estate.
Aim for a balance between decoration and nature
If on the other hand you have chosen a baroque church, avoid overly elaborate decorations that compete with the frescoes and columns.
I know there is a lot of information and I understand that sometimes it is not easy to visualise the perfect wedding decoration design for you.
