Wedding Design Tips

Designing a wedding may sound fun and exciting?and it truly is exciting? but to be able to pull it off successfully, you need a thought-out plan to organize your tasks and to make decisions wisely without having to destroy everything you’ve created because the client changes their mind and you have to start everything from scratch. Below is a layout plan on how to design a wedding:

  1. Choose the right color palette: The first thing to decide when designing a wedding is the color palette that the couples would want to be prevalent. This will determine the overall look and style of the wedding.
  2. Design a Mood Board: A mood board is a useful tool for both designers and the couple because it allows them to see the big picture of the design by knowing what elements work together and incorporate the designer’s and the couple’s ideas for the design. They can create mood boards for the ceremony, the reception, the cocktail setting, florals, and stationary.
  3. Use a Motif: A motif is the recurring theme of the wedding. It helps tie the wedding together from beginning to end. The motif is important because it will help personalize the wedding design for the couple.
  4. Choose the Right Venue: The venue can make or break a wedding’s overall theme, colors, and style. The venue should reflect the theme of the wedding so it will be easier to design it. It must also be complementary to the theme. The venue can also help bring out the ambiance that the couple would like to obtain during their wedding.
