Your wedding day is going to be a day to remember no matter what, but if you have your head set on looking and feeling luxe, then there are some really simple things that you can do to add that feeling of quality to your day. Soon everyone will remember your wedding as one of the classiest that they’ve ever been to.
Hang Extra Lights
Lighting is important in any venue and
having extra light will ensure that your décor is looking its best. Consider
having chandeliers from the ceiling for the truly luxurious look. Rows of fairy
lights will do the trick as well. They can accentuate any hidden nooks and
crannies of your venue and add a touch of magic to your day. Candles are
another must for this. They can really change the room from being too bare into
a beautifully intimate gathering.
Add Greenery
Never underestimate the power of greenery.
While your florals themselves are important, having touches of green around the
room will show the level of care that has gone into the decoration. Wrapping
greenery around pillars and entranceways makes the room seem full of life and
worked in with touches of florals in the same colour scheme as your bouquet and
your guests will think they’ve walked into paradise.
Have a Grand Entrance
If you want your wedding to be the most luxurious
of the season, you can’t beat the grand entrance. Pick a song that really
speaks to you, and that the guests will be able to recognise when it starts
playing. If you’re not sure about whether you want a long train or veil, just
think about what you want for your entrance. Elegance is simple as well as
luxe, so decide on the feel that you are going for. Lanterns and flowers
decorating the aisle can really add to this, so don’t dismiss them straight
away.
Pick a Landmark Venue
Ultimately, the venue that you choose will
say a lot about the style of wedding that you have. There are so many gorgeous
wedding venues in London, that it can be hard to choose! Focus on what you
really want out of your day, and if it is the luxurious feel that you are going
for, remember that there are a lot of landmark buildings for hire in the city,
some places that you probably didn’t even know about! Take your time on your search
and consider all aspects of your day before making the decision.
Focus on the Details
The details of any wedding day are always
important. People will tell you that many guests won’t notice, but some will.
The main thing is you will notice
them! Having linens and tableware that you love and that fits in well with your
theme is going to really add something to the day. It is the little extras that
really bring your wedding up a notch in luxury.
Drapes
Drapes are a fantastic way to decorate a
room with very high ceilings. Having bands of gossamer drapes along the beams
will have the room looking like it’s stepped straight out of a romance novel –
in all the best ways. They can make the room more intimate while adding a
certain softness that is needed in a room full of tables and chairs. You can
either match your wedding colours or stick to white or ivory for a classic
style.
Divide the Space
Dividing the space into sections is a great
way of accentuating the things that you want. For example, the cake table and
the guestbook table can be made into features of their own, surrounded by other
décor to make them into a little wedding haven. Dividing a large room in this
way keeps it classy while still being intimate.
Think Simple
Simplicity can go a long way. Simple
elegance can be luxurious, so in this case, sometimes less is more. If your
venue is on the smaller side, then don’t over-do it on the décor as this will
make the room seem too closed in. Having simple colours and space to move
between tables is more important than fancy centrepieces. The same goes for your
dress. If you want something luxurious, you don’t have to have lots of lace or
sparkle, simple can look just as elegant.
Keep to a Colour Theme
Having a colour theme will allow you to choose all of your decorations with confidence. It should fit in with the bridal party and the flowers and is the one thing that will tie the whole room together. Usually, you have one or two main colours, one secondary colour, and a metallic accent. Having the accent is sometimes the most important. Not only will this add a little bit of shimmer to your venue, but if you know what it is, you can keep it the same throughout.
Be
True to Yourself
If there’s one way to give yourself a luxurious wedding, it’s this. Don’t let ideas about décor take away from the fact that you are marrying your best friend. Your wedding day should reflect you as a couple – your hobbies and the things that you enjoy doing. If your guests can see this, then your wedding day will be perfect.
Every wedding day is different, and there’s
no right or wrong way to do anything when it comes to your big day. If you are
looking for something on the luxurious side however, hopefully we’ve shown you
how easy this look can be to achieve!
