It takes a lot to decorate

Brides and grooms, you know that decor is one aspect of your wedding that add the touches of beauty, class, spiciness and wonder to your wedding reception and wedding hall. The reaction that you crave from your guests are “wow, it so beautiful!” or “I never thought this place can look like this”.  Décor does not only involve placing accent pieces on a table or changing curtains in the room to match the colour and theme of your wedding party. Wedding décor involves something more complex, its interior decorating; where you transform a space using the combination of creativity, technical skills and functionality to achieve a desired effect.

There are many such wedding decoration businesses within Trinidad and Tobago that design you venue to reach this desired effect. The interior decoration of a wedding space needs a commitment from the bride, the groom, the wedding planner and the interior designer for deliverability of the desired effect. As such, the bride and groom will communicate their vision and the designer would understand what can and needs be done, what will be difficult to achieve, what can be added to enhance the aesthetics and how capitalize on them to prepare for you wedding day.

The design stage is one that requires a lot of work and preparation. The fact of the matter is, this is not a simple process, the details of, colours and matching hues must be worked out. From this, you would graduate to textures and how they would work together. When using the linens or lighting considerations must be put in place for photographic effects and illumination and the current fads and fashions.

After these considerations are put in place, then you can add cutlery, flowers, seating, the wedding procession, the space to create the maximum effect for the visual aspect and props for wall, floor and ceiling decorations.

From all these details it is understood that Interior design is an all-encompassing function that you put in place for your wedding. It would involve the invitations, table numbers, and ribbons for chairs, type of chairs for the bride and groom, chairs for guests, the tables for the bridal party and the tables for guests. To the minutest detail, interior décor for a wedding sets the mood for your soiree. It is true that the aesthetic/ visual aspect that you create for your wedding is a reflection of the personal style of the bride and the groom.

The best advice that I have ever gotten for wedding décor was to ask yourself to describe what you want in three succinct adjectives. Some may be “Fun, flirty, breezy”, “dark, dramatic, and modern” or it may be “traditional, modest, and classic”. With these three words it may be enough to give yourself and your decorator the inspiration to start filtering ideas into your planning process.

The decoration in a wedding is not simple like flipping a switch but is achieved with hard work and endurance. The fortitude that you put in place, if channelled to the right avenue, would transfer every wedding from drab to stunning, from good to better and from basic to extra.
