B efore they see the dress or taste the cake, your guests will assess your wedding by what they see — which makes decor one of the most important elements. From ambient lighting to organza overlays, there’s a lot that goes into wedding decor. Chances are, you will have countless questions along the way. With that in mind, we’ve compiled a list of some of the most com- mon decor dilemmas and our best tips to create the look you want! Choosing your decor The first step in planning decor is to envision your wedding day. Start with picking out a color scheme and possi- bly a theme. Which colors do you grav- itate toward? While a theme isn’t required, it could end up inspiring all of your decor de- tails! When considering a theme, try not to over think it; instead, choose something that you and your partner love in your everyday lives. Do you travel often? Think about using a map for your seating plan. If you both love to read, you could incorporate books into your centerpieces. Once you have those two elements in mind, you can start searching for photo inspiration. Keep track of all of your ideas with a wedding binder, Pin- terest board, or both! Too many ideas After awhile, Pinterest can become your worst enemy. It has so much gorgeous inspiration that it can be hard to decide on a cohesive look. To prevent this, give yourself a timeline for your research stage and then cut yourself off. As long as you choose elements that make you happy, you’ll end up with a beautiful wedding and you’ll keep yourself from drowning in the endless possibilities!
