Setting up the wedding: everything you need to know for a perfect day
Wedding arrangements are a key aspect of making your day magical and unique, a true daydream to be joyfully immersed in. Choosing the right decorative elements and enhancing the location means creating a special and memorable atmosphere for the bride and groom and their guests.
In this article, we will guide you through all the necessary steps to set up your wedding flawlessly, to have a complete guide to the perfect wedding setup.
1. Define the theme and style of the wedding
The starting point for the setup is to define the theme and style of the wedding. Do you want a romantic and elegant reception, or a more rustic and informal event? A travel-themed wedding or a wedding inspired by a historical era? Choosing a theme will help you select decorative elements consistently and harmoniously.
2. Choose the location
The location plays a key role in wedding planning. Once you have defined the theme, you can start looking for a location that reflects it. Consider the size of the space, natural lighting, architectural style, and the ability to customize the rooms.
Also consider the various activities you would like to have on your big day: an artisanal ice cream banquet, pizza station, or a large space for a dance performance.
Carefully consider all logistical aspects so that both guests and workers can enjoy this day with peace of mind.
3. Establishing the budget
Wedding arrangements necessarily take into account your initial budget. It is therefore important to set a precise budget and distribute it wisely among the various decorative elements, prioritizing among your needs if necessary. Make room for creative solutions as well, to save money without sacrificing the desired elegance and atmosphere.
With this in mind, a wedding planner can really work magic to provide you with creative solutions that make you fully satisfied.
4. Select decorative elements.
Depending on the theme and style of the wedding, you can choose a variety of decorative elements to set up different spaces in the venue:
- Flowers. Flowers are a distinctive, must-have element in any wedding. You can use fresh flowers, dried flowers or even artificial flower arrangements.
- Fabrics. Fabrics can be used to create draperies, tablecloths, runners, and scenic arrangements. Choose fine fabrics such as silk, velvet or linen for an elegant effect, or more rustic fabrics such as cotton or jute for an informal or boho-chic style wedding.
- Lighting. Lighting is a key element in creating the desired atmosphere. Use candles, lanterns, soft lighting and light effects with floodlights to create a warm and welcoming environment.
- Furnishings. The furniture can be used to create different areas within the location, such as a relaxation corner, an area entirely dedicated to photos, or a buffet. Choose furnishings that match the style of the wedding and are comfortable for the guests, evaluating the space available well.
- Decorative objects. Decorative items can be used to personalize the setting and add a touch of originality. You can use photos of the bride and groom, objects that have special value to you, vases, ceramics, or items that reflect the wedding theme. The important thing is that everything is there for a reason and not a mere frill for its own sake. Remember that every little detail makes a difference for a flawless wedding setup.
5. Rely on a professional
If you don’t have the time or inclination to take care of the set-up yourself, you can rely on a professional wedding planner, who will orchestrate every stage of your event to perfection, from conception, design, to coordination of all the vendors and the conduct of the wedding. The wedding planner, with her network of knowledge and vast experience, will be able to advise and help you achieve a flawless arrangement in line with your wishes.
6. Consider sustainability
More and more brides and grooms are choosing to have an eco-friendly wedding to reflect their values of respect for the environment and the planet. For an eco-friendly setup, you can use natural materials, seasonal flowers, recycled decorations and low-energy lighting.
7. Plan carefully
Wedding staging requires careful planning. For this, it is essential to create a timetable with precise deadlines for each step of the process, from choosing suppliers to selecting decorative elements. This way, you can avoid stress and unforeseen events and enjoy the preparations for your big day to the fullest.
