Wedding Decor – These days, weddings are all about showcasing your personal style. There are numerous ways to do that—personalized vows, non-traditional dresses, out-of-the-box venues—but what makes the most immediate impact is the decor.
“Decor ties your energy together as a couple in a tangible way,” says D.C. event designer Sugar Taylor. “It’s a manifestation of your love, and visual proof you’re at a celebration. It communicates the joy of being together.”
If you’re feeling like the ante has been seriously upped in recent years, well, you’re not wrong. “In the past, wedding decor was considered more ‘cookie-cutter,’ but I think things were purer, more focused on the couple, back then,” muses Taylor.
“While still based on the same things, weddings today are more so artistic masterpieces because more people are watching. Given the introduction of social media, I think we’ve naturally been more prone to focus on how things look and want them to be different.”
Read on for our ultimate wedding decor checklist—including tips on what’s trending and where to prioritize your spending—but remember: there are no hard rules here!
Ceremony Decor
Though it’s the most important part of a wedding day, the ceremony is the space where your guests will spend the least amount of time—so this is not the place to blow your budget. “It’s essential that something frames the couple,” says Taylor. “Whether that’s a backdrop or two large aisle arrangements, that’s the moment where [your guests] are like, okay, this is about the people in front of me.”
You can also adorn the path down the aisle, choose interesting benches or chairs, and sprinkle in personalized elements such as a welcome sign and ceremony programs. Newer trends in ceremony decor include hanging decor elements over the aisle, which, Per Taylor, “look luxe and grand compared to floor petals,” as well as circular floral arches and asymmetric floor installations at the altar.
