Wedding decorations is a basic part of a wedding. They
give the whole celebration a unique character, your character.
Wedding decorations consist of both floral decorations
and non-floral decorative items. It’s the mix of those two, that make thefinal
result look amazingly beautiful.
So, how to choose the wedding decoration style?
The first, which you should do, is to choose the color
theme for your wedding day. You can choose between vivid colors, such as bright
yellow, red, blue, purple etc., and pastel and blush tones, such as blush pink,
cream, ivory, light peach etc. You can, of course, add bright colors to a
pastel pallet or vice versa. A good idea is choosing a main color or two, and
then adding some similar tones to the mix.
The next step would be deciding whether you are a flowers
person or a candle person. In other words, you need to choose between having
mostly flowers for your wedding decorations, or filling up the place with
candles. If choosing between two options seems hard, no need to worry. Just
balance candles and flowers in your decorations!
A helpful piece of advice for any candle lovers out
there, would be using fake, LED candles for windy locations, as real candles
will be blown out all the time. Santorini is such one location.

If you choose to go with flowers, you should be prepared
to set a big decoration budget. Flowers are undoubtedly really beautiful, but
they can also be quite costly, especially if you wish to fill the entire
wedding venue with them.
You can go with seasonal flowers, which are usually less expensive,
and non-seasonal flowers, that can cost a bit more, but offer a greater variety.
When it comes to weddings in Santorini, the seasonal flowers are usually roses,
lysianthus, baby's breath, gerberas etc, and non-seasonal flowers are
considered peonies, ranunculus, David Austin Roses, orchids etc.
A way to save something on flowers, is to mix the floral
compositions with greenery. The more greenery you add to the mix, the lower the
cost will be. As with the flowers, greenery offers a great variety of choices,
meaning you can always find a tone that will match the whole wedding color
theme.
Candles, as a piece of decoration, can give the place a
really romantic feeling, whether used outdoors or indoors. You can choose to
have cylinders, to put your candles in, floating candles, beautiful candle
holders etc. Candles can be used with pretty much any wedding style you might -
from a minimal wedding, to a chic wedding.
Candles and flowers are the major parts of the wedding
decoration list, but you should not forget about the details, which will add
that personal touch you are looking for. What details am I talking about? Well,
about all those little things that can be easily ignored, but have a great
input to the final image of your wedding decorations.

The first, and most important decoration detail, are the
wedding invitations. They will set up the whole mood for your wedding day. Say
you wish to have a music themed wedding. Get creative and shape your invites
into vinyl disks. Your friends and family will love this unique approach, and
will get the hint on what to expect on your wedding day.
The guests' tables can have a ton of fun decorative
details to play with. Choose table clothes to much your color theme. Fold the
napkins into interesting shapes. Have creative table names. Include your guests'
favors to the decoration.
There are so many ways to get creative with your wedding
decorations and a million different ways to make your wedding reflect your own
unique personality. All you need is to engage your inner artist and free your
imagination.
Thank you very much for reading! I wish you a lovely day!
