Understand Your Wedding Venue 

Think of your wedding venue as the very foundation of your wedding and décor selections. It’s where your ceremony and reception are being held, so it’s important to be able to visualize how you can transform your venue choice in order to better understand it. 

Wedding venues are often unique unto themselves. That’s why it’s so important for your décor and venue to work hand-in-hand to complement each other. All of your venue’s elements from the already existing lighting, architectural details, and layout will all have a huge impact on which elements you should highlight and what décor aspects you should use to do so.

Elevate with Elegant Floral Arrangements

Is a wedding really complete if there aren’t any flowers involved? You can count on floral arrangements and lush green accents to be the very cornerstone of your event. It brings the romance to the venue with ease. Seasonal blooms bring that extra layer of luxury and charm while making themselves excellent elegant wedding centerpieces. You can never go wrong with floral arches and lush table arrangements to wow your invitees. 

Lighting That Sets the Mood

 When you’re designing your wedding day, you can’t neglect the lighting. Your lighting is what sets the mood for the event. Whether we’re in a sanctuary or the reception hall, lighting will have a huge impact on the ambiance.  Whether your lighting style is soft and twinkly or cozy and starry, your lighting will take your décor to an entirely different level. 

You can also use chandeliers and candles as lighting focal points. When you layer different lighting types you can give your venue somewhat of a multidimensional deal that your guests are sure to love.

Thoughtful Use of Color 

It’s no secret that color draws your eye around a room, and it’s also one of the mainstays when it comes to any wedding. No matter the type, every ceremony has a color palette of some sort. When you are intentional about your use of color, it makes choosing your décor just that much easier. 

When it comes to your wedding venue styling, you’ll want to be cohesive. Whether you’re going for the classic whites and pastels or a bold monochromatic theme, everything should tie together seamlessly, and you have The Four Columns event planning experts by your side to help along the way.

Dramatic Drapery

Sometimes you’ll walk into a wedding or reception hall and feel and feel a luxe heir of elegance. The feeling is often curated using dramatic drapery. The texture of drapery in and of itself helps to not only frame the space but also brings a softness and sense of romance to the venue.

If you’re working with a venue that has high ceilings like The Four Columns’ venue, ceiling drapery plays beautifully. It has a way of making the eyes scale the space upwards where they’re met with the lush drapery and absolutely dazzling chandelier. 

Statement Pieces

When you’re walking through life, what stands out to you as beautiful? What is beautiful that stands out about you and your beloved? Think about these things when you’re selecting décor. If you want to leave a lasting impression there are a myriad of ways to go about it, whether you’re thinking about hanging floral installations or sculptures, your statement piece will serve as one of the focal points of your event and oftentimes an anchor in your guests’ memories of the night.
