Wedding Decor On Your Wedding Day
Decor is an essential component in a wedding. However, the decorations and floral arrangements you include are not the only thing to consider when it comes to the special details of your big day. There are some things that fall outside of the realm of both fashion and decor. Dubbed “wedding accessories” by industry experts in recent years, these are the little touches that help to connect you with your event and make it as memorable as possible on a personal scale. Use these suggestions to include the right accessories.
Decor & The Personal Items
A lot of time and energy is put into selecting the perfect wedding attire. From lavish dresses to tuxedos that look like they were plucked from an old film, couples want to look their best when walking down the aisle. However, what you wear is not solely about how you are perceived by others. The accessories you include can add a level of personal significance to your outfit. Some people include heirloom accessories or jewelry in order to feel connected to their families during this important milestone.
The accessories don’t need to be traditional accessories that are worn, either. Some couples purchase special hangers for their wedding garments in order to avoid wrinkles and creases. A personalized set of hangers can be a cute little feature that helps you feel excited for this new chapter in your life.
The Guest Book
The guest book at your wedding is another item that falls outside of the traditional decor category and more into the realm of accessories. Though many opt for an actual book for guests to sign, there are endless ways to get creative. Including an old typewriter and a long sheet of paper is a neat alternative that allows guests the chance to type out their messages of luck and love. A video guest book is also a popular option, with people recording their messages in a “confessional” style made popular on reality television.
The Party Members
Giving the members of your wedding party fun accessories can also be a great way to add another dimension of style to your event. If you have a ring bearer and flower girl, then consider hanging little signs on them with humorous messages. A flower girl with a sign that reads “follow the petals, follow the love” or a similar phrase can get guests to deliver some audible “awws” from the very start.
Similarly, you might want to give accessories to all of your bridesmaids or groomsmen as a way of thanking them for being involved. Though few people will actually see this accessory, custom socks can be a fantastic gift. Whether you personalize each pair to the person or order bulk socks with the same message, the people in your party will definitely want to wear them during the event.
The Little Touches With Decor
Plenty of couples have wedding themes these days. Whether your event is rustic, modern, or classic, be sure that any accessories you include in your big day complement the overall aesthetic. If you’re having a wedding meant to invoke the roaring parties of the 1920s, consider placement cards that boast a bold and vintage font that perfectly captures the bygone era. This is your chance to be as creative as possible, so think outside the box and find fun ways to put finishing touches on your wedding’s look.
Though the term itself is something of a new concept, wedding accessories have long been a part of the planning process. Before you finish putting together the details of your big day, think about how a couple of small accessories can help to add a delicious level of personal texture to the experience.
