Everyone knows that they should decorate the guest tables for the wedding reception and that there should be flowers and candles for the ceremony, but how about all those other places your guests will be spending time during your wedding day? The Dream Makers Wedding Stylists can visit your venue and suggest how you can best utilise your venue space. Here are seven of the areas or elements that often get overlooked when putting together your wedding decorations.
1. Make an impression with the entrance
The entrance to your venue will be the first thing your guests see, and it will make a statement about what they can expect from the rest of your wedding. In your entrance, be big and bold with your wedding decorations. Use some form of lighting, whether that is dramatic flaming torches, romantic hanging lanterns, or cute fairy lights. Use potted plants or trees on either side of the entrance and add some flowers or coloured posters inside the hallway to continue the great impression. The Dream Makers team of Wedding Planners and Stylists can set up, supervise and pack away at the end of your wedding so you can continue to celebrate with your family and friends.
2. Jazz up the bar
The chances are your guests will spend a fair amount of time at the bar so you will want to make it as attractive as possible. If the space is a little empty try hiring an old fashioned juke box, a photo booth, or any other objects that will provide interest and entertainment, and complement your theme. Make sure there is some comfortable seating in the bar for guests to relax on. Flower arrangements as wedding decorations can work well in the bar, just make sure they don’t get in the way of the bar staff. Look for garlands or streamers that can be kept out of the way. The Dream Makers Wedding Stylists can put together a floor plan for you to ensure you get the best out of your venue space.
3. Check out the ceiling
If the ceiling of your venue isn't very attractive, or it's very high and you'd like to make the atmosphere cosier, there are various wedding decoration ideas you could try. Draping fabric across the ceiling isn’t as hard as it sounds, or you could add paper lanterns, hanging bird cages, or even hired chandeliers. If this seems like a lot of work, don't worry, the Wedding Stylists at the Dream Makers can set up all the decorations and pack up at the end of the night as well.
4. Bring the rooms together
If your wedding will take place over a number of rooms, make sure the corridors or walkways that join these areas continue your wedding theme. Simple potted plants and wall posters may be enough, but if your guests are likely to get lost you could consider making some fun signs, using your wedding style and colour scheme, to make sure they know where they are headed.
5. Cherish your chairs
Chairs might not seem like the most important aspect of your wedding venue, but they can make a real difference to your overall look. If you're not keen on the chairs at the venue, ask the Dream Makers Wedding Stylists to show you different options.
6. Beautify the bathroom
While your male guests are unlikely to care, the girls at your wedding will be really touched if you make a feature of the ladies bathroom. Add some scented soaps in a similar fragrance to your wedding perfume, some pretty hand lotions and some soft fluffy guest towels, as well as a couple of miniature flower arrangements.

7. Add atmospheric lighting
Many couples view their wedding venues on a sunny summer day and forget to check out what the lighting is like. Include lighting a must as part of your wedding decorations. Atmospheric lighting can make all the difference to an indoor winter or evening wedding. If your venue only has harsh bright lights look out for lamps, candles, fairly lights and starlit backdrops. You can also light your flower arrangements with votive candles, or with LED lit coloured gel in glass vases. You can never have enough tea lights!
