This is a long one...With 6 weeks to go, I am now paying attention to the details of decorating the venue. I think I would like to make some swags and chair backs to decorate the ceremony room, but don't know how to do them. I'd also like to not have anything too flouncy.
The room is cream walls, with mid-brown wooden floors and mid-brown wood beams / roof joists. I have silver banqueting chairs with dark green pads for the ceremony.
The picture below is of where the ceremony will be held. Where the toys/rocking chairs etc are, will be where the chairs are - facing away from the camera. The grey doors will be removed and OH and I will be standing on the step, with the celebrant between us.
My colours are mainly moss green, with pink highlights (groomsmens ties and in flowers) and lots of white. Vases will all be mismatched and vintagey. The room will also have warm white fairy lights, which I could have behind the swags.
OH's tie:
Groomsmen's tie:
So my questions are:
- how do you make swags? I'm assuming you just drape and tie?
- how do you make some simple decorations for chair backs. Bows seem a bit too girly for my taste.
- What colour organza would you use? Assuming organza is appropriate.
- How would you decorate the doorway / doorway wall for the ceremony. Organza swags with fairy lights?
- How do I tie in (excuse the pun) the pink that the groomsmen have chosen with the rest of the wedding, while still keeping the look simple
Ta muchly!
