Top 5 Wedding Venue Decoration Mistakes to Avoid

Every bride and groom wants to exchange their vows in a memorable setting. Some couples spend months finding the right venue that reflects their style and commitment to each other. But the venue will only do so much. The couple will need to seriously consider the wedding decorations, as these will bring the venue to life and create the desired ambiance. Each and every element of the decor, starting with the wedding welcome sign, requires the couple’s attention. 

If you are getting married in the next couple of months, this article is for you. We will discuss the five major decor mistakes you must avoid in order to have the perfect wedding ceremony. Let’s dive in!

Poor Lighting

You want your wedding venue to be properly lit. The lighting should complement the overall decor of your venue and create a warm environment for your guests. You should not rely on the lighting provided by the venue alone, as it might not be sufficient. It is important that you discuss with your wedding decorator about the lighting options in advance. 

You can add an elegant chandelier as the wow factor to your venue. Ask your wedding planner to arrange for different lighting for different areas of your venue. You can use dimmer lights for the dance floor to make sure everybody’s attention is on you and your partner. Use brighter lights for the dining area. If you're having an outdoor wedding, consider stringing fairy lights or lanterns to create a magical atmosphere.

No Personal Touch

Amidst all the glam and glitter of the wedding decor, you must add some of your personal touches. The wedding decor must reflect the love and bond you share as a couple. Without a personality to it, your wedding decor will be drab and generic. 

You can charm your guests by adding a flower arrangement as a centerpiece that reflects you as a couple. You can even install a message board where you can show the best wishes and congratulatory messages you have received. You can also set up a photo gallery with childhood pictures of you and your partner telling the story of your lives and how you came to meet.

Not Having A Theme

When it comes to wedding decorations, for many couples sky is the limit. They want to include anything and everything they see on the internet. But often, it creates a mismatched and cluttered look. This will not appeal to anyone’s aesthetic sense and will sully your image. That is why you need to adopt the mantra - Less is more. Choose a color palette and stick to it for the entire wedding venue decor. Use a color combination that reflects you and your partner. The cohesive look that a color palette brings to your wedding venue will mesmerize your guests.

Not Hiring Professionals

It is really admirable that you have tried to do it all yourself without asking for help from professionals. But you have underestimated the amount of work ahead of you. There is more to a wedding decoration than just selecting the perfect wedding welcome sign. You need to get in front of the lighting, the catering, the seating arrangements, etc. 

It is a lot for one person to handle. If you do not want to appear exhausted and tired with swollen eye bags and a fidgety attitude, you must hire a wedding planner. A planner will execute your vision and make sure that the decor matches the theme of your wedding. Meanwhile, you can get ready for your special day and make memories with your loved ones.

No Space Planning

Once you have found the perfect wedding venue online, you must visit it before finalizing the date. Often, the photos of the venue look more attractive than the place itself. Let’s assume that the venue is all that it claims to be on the internet. 

You must still visit it to understand how spacious it is. Your guest list will depend on the space of the venue. When you visit the venue in person, you will be able to visualize the decorations. Remember to check if there is adequate parking space for the guests. Since you know what the venue looks like, you can add a few elements to accentuate the beauty of the venue.
