How to Choose the Right Wedding Décor Based on Your Venue

Elevate Your Celebration with Thoughtful Décor Choices that Complement Your Space

When planning your wedding, the venue sets the atmosphere for your big day. Your décor choices should complement the venue’s space and be visually appealing to your guests. For intimate weddings, such as the one shown in this blog, Mill Green Golf Club is the ideal setup that brides are going for. I mean, have you seen what’s trending lately on Instagram?

When planning your wedding, it can be overwhelming to choose a theme you love because trends come and go. If you’re a Pinterest enthusiast, I’ve recently added some inspiration there, so take your time when choosing a theme. For intimate weddings, like the one shown in this blog at Mill Green Golf Club, it’s essential to select décor that enhances the venue. After all, I’m sure you want your guests’ jaws to drop when they enter.

The Importance of Colour Schemes

Mill Green Golf Club, surrounded by a picturesque lake in the countryside, is a perfect example of a spacious venue. It accommodates up to 180 guests for the wedding breakfast and 220 for the wedding reception! 🫨 Shocking, I know! The décor, styled by Cloud Sixty Events, features pastel colours that add a soft, romantic touch—both premium and affordable. But how can you choose the right décor for your venue? Here are some key considerations to keep in mind.

The size of your venue is essential when selecting décor. At Mill Green Golf Club, there is plenty of natural light on both sides of the main room, so you’ll want to complement the space with elegant, minimalist touches that allow the beauty of the venue to shine—especially with the large gold chandelier hanging overhead. Absolutely stunning! Choose décor that enhances the room rather than competes with the natural surroundings. Trust me, you won’t regret it.

Tips for Working with a Wedding Décor Stylist

A good wedding decorator will always provide a thorough consultation to understand your vision and how it aligns with the venue. Cloud Sixty Events, known for their 5-star service, excels at working closely with couples to bring their décor dreams to life. Make sure to book a consultation early so you can tailor your décor to perfectly suit the venue and capture your dream wedding vision.

Key questions you should ask the décor company:
• Can you customise the décor to match my venue’s aesthetic?
• Will the chosen décor colours enhance or clash with the venue?
• Are there any restrictions on the materials we can use for décor?
• Can we incorporate personal touches into the décor?
• Can you create a bespoke package tailored to my needs?
• What is the timeline for setting up and breaking down the décor?
• Can you provide examples of previous work with similar venues?
• How do you handle last-minute changes or requests?

Conclusion

Choosing the right wedding décor starts with an understanding of your wedding venue. Whether you’re planning an intimate or grand wedding, your décor should enhance and complement the venue’s space. Consider the size, layout, ambiance, and natural surroundings. Working closely with your wedding decorator is crucial to create your dream wedding day look.

I highly recommend checking out your chosen venue on a wedding open day. This will give you a feel for the space and allow you to ask the venue questions regarding décor restrictions, such as the use of real candles on the tables.
