When planning a wedding, couples almost always instantly start thinking about their wedding look.

DIY Decor Wedding Tips

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Start With Selecting An Overall Style– Contemporary, French Country, Mid-Century, Scandinavian, Tudor, Victorian.

Select Your Primary Color with Secondary & Accent Colors – For this wedding, the primary color was burgundy with the secondary colors as forest green, taupe and blush with an accent of gold.

Create One or Two Focal Points in the Room– It is easy to over design a space with decor. I would focus on creating your focal points from one of these important photographed ares: Wedding Party Entrance, Front Aisle, Altar, Head/Sweetheart Table, Drink or Food Display and Photobooth.

Pick A Few Vintage Pieces– For this wedding, the vintage pieces were: candy & wood train whistles for the reception tables and, oil lanterns & greenery throughout the ceremony room.

Mix & Match Artificial and Real Flowers– It is cost effective to use artificial flowers in your wedding look, but it is nice to add in real flowers too. It can be a slippery slope to want to get artificial garland, flowers and bouquets because it is inexpensive to get a lot of it. However, in the long run, it can clutter your focal points and cost even more the real flowers.

Take these tips to create a memorable wedding day for you and yours! If you have more questions or need design help, you can DM us @letyouinspireyou on Instagram.
