Weddings are fun. But they are tough on the people who arrange it. With the size of families getting smaller, and people moving out of the city for their jobs, we hardly have any helping hands anymore. This is why you need to hire wedding planners to execute your wedding arrangement ideas be it for wedding banquet halls location, catering or any other related service.

The professional planners also need to give you suggestions for unique wedding decorations. Also, if your plans are impractical in parts, the planners should help you find a similar alternative, or work a way around the technical impossibilities.

  • Balloon Walls

It takes a lot of money to decorate every wall with flowers. The idea is clichéd as well. Giant white balloons, on the other hand, make a very good background for the wedding photographs.

Leave some gaps at regular intervals to put colourful flowers in them to balance out the white.

  • Drapes

Colourful or white drapes both work. Cover light sources with translucent yellow or orange drapes. Put white drapes on the walls before sticking the balloons on. White brightens up the place and colourful satin drapes work as good lampshades, making everywhere the light touches, more colourful.

  • Lampshade Centre Pieces

You should get real lampshades as centre pieces for wedding seating tables.  Have multicoloured lampshades or single coloured lampshades of different colours at different tables, your choice.

If you prefer a more symmetrical look, go for the same colour and type of lampshades for all the tables.

  • Mandap Decoration

The mandap has to have both, drapes and flowers. But make sure the flowers don’t get lost in the drapes. Sometimes people make mandap drapes out of various colours of drapes and add whatever flower strings they get. Nothing can look tackier than that. You need to stick to a maximum of two colours for the drapes.

You can match the colours with the latest bridal dresses, or contrast it. You can go for lighter shades like white and yellow or white and peach for daytime under the sky weddings. For the night, go for the warmer tones like red, purple, and orange. Match the flowers with the colours of the drapes and hang them from strings evenly all across the outside of the drapes.

  • Piñata

This is the most uncommon of all wedding arrangements. A piñata is for birthdays. But a wedding is the birth of a wife and a husband. It is the beginning of a new life for the bride and the groom. Put all the best wishes from the guests, especially the close ones, and put it inside the piñata. Make it a heart-shaped piñata if you want to maintain symmetry for the occasion. Let the bride and the groom together break it, to find the notes. Alternately, you can have two piñatas, one for the groom and one for the bride, and have their respective friends and relatives write their best wishes for each of them.

  • Garden arch

The mandap is there. If there is a garden or outdoor wedding, the mandap needs to be in the garden. Or if there is a lush green open space but the mandap is indoor anyway, put arches made of leaves on the garden. Fix them well into the floor so that some rain and storm cannot harm the setup.

These arches can be made broader and wider so that you can put chairs in their shade and people can sit in the shade. If you have a big space, keep these arrangements at a good distance from each other. You need to be able to arrange for chairs and these arches for at least 40 percent of the guests.

  • Plants

Flowers cost a lot and they look too clichéd for weddings. Also, you need to get a lot of flowers on the very day of the wedding. Too much flowers slow down the implementation of ideas of wedding decorations process. Replace most of the flowers with little green tubs of plants. You can get this done even the night before the wedding. All you need to make sure the next morning is that they are sprayed with water to keep looking fresh. The cost and the hassle are reduced tenfold with green leaves and plants. Also, the place smells so much better and feels so fresh because of the plants.

  • Flowers

No matter what was said in the above statement about getting more green plants, you do need flowers. Flower decorations for wedding is essential. To complement the green on the plants, get some white flowers. Lilies, tulips, orchids, jasmine bunches, all of these flowers are beautiful.

  • Lighting

If the lighting is off, everything gets ruined. You need enough light for people to see where they are walking. You need less enough light to make the other decorations more visible. You need lights inside and outside the area. The building needs good lighting on its outer walls. Once again, multi-coloured fairy lights are just as tacky as multicoloured mandap drapes.

Stick to some signature colour combinations like blue and white, red and yellow, just yellow, or to reduce the cost of lighting, use as many fairy light strings as you can. But do use enough brighter lights to actually make the wedding dinner look good. The dinner tables must have enough lighting. Make sure all the light sources are either covered by translucent lamp shades or drapes.
