Wedding Styling - 5 top tips for styling your blank canvas wedding venue
Top tips for styling your blank canvas wedding venue to make it look exceptional
Hiring a wedding venue that is a blank canvas, can be an absolute delight. It provides an opportunity to really make the space your own, into the dream that you have in your mind. But sometimes having an empty space to style can be alot. Here are 5 top wedding styling tips to help you plan in how to give your venue that extra special touch.
1. Wedding Styling inspiration
2. Wedding Venue focal points
When you hire a blank canvas or dry hire venue, it may be one large space to work with. To make things more manageable try to visualise your space into different areas. For example a dancefloor area, chill out area and then think about what wedding decorations or props you can use to define these areas in your venue. Sometimes all you need is one or two statement focal points, for example, a beautiful floral arrangement or floral wall displayed in a great spot or a sumptuous dessert table in another location. They also create a great spot for you and your guests to take pictures.
3. Make your space personal
Your wedding is about reflecting you as a couple and a blank canvas is a fantastic way to do this. Identify what elements are important for the both of you to have at your wedding, whether it's your love of travel, or certain type of music or book. Then use this to create key statement features in your venue, with personal touches, such a photographs, signs or artwork that reflects you both.
4. Venue Lighting
A top tip when I’m styling a venue is to use lighting to create an atmosphere, it's a fantastic way to transform a blank space. Illuminating key places within your venue during the evening time with lights will add drama and another look for your space. You could use uplighters, fairy lights or lots of candles. Check that your venue allows naked flames, if not use LED ones instead.
5. Wedding Table Styling
Your tables will take up a large amount of space, so don’t neglect them. They are a fantastic way to create drama and a wow factor. You can read tips for creating your wedding table design. Ensure that you use exquisite items from the glassware to sumptuous high-quality linen or furnishings, to make it feel and look exceptional.
Styling your wedding venue is about bringing together all those special details that truly matter to the both of you, in a cohesive way to give you a beautiful, unique look to your space. A clear wedding design and exceptional styling will help you to make your venue look amazing.
