Going for a glamorous, romantic, elegant feel for your wedding? Ballroom-style may offer just this. Ballrooms are a great neutral space you can decorate and arrange in any way you want to make the vision you have for your special day come to life. The different themes, moods, and décor possibilities are truly endless. Here are some things to think about when planning your ballroom wedding…

Before you start planning your décor and set up determine a theme or color scheme to follow. This will make things easier when deciding on flowers, linens, fabrics and drapery, centerpieces, and lighting to fill the hall. Make a map of how and where you would like things set up.

The dance floor is usually the focal point of a ballroom wedding; this is where all the dancing and activity happens. A decorative floor or lighting is often used to highlight the area and provide a festive surface for your dancing guests.

Fabrics and drapery will glam up your ballroom or create an intimate, elegant romantic feel. Color schemes, types of fabric and lighting are key here so play around with what type of mood you are trying to set.

Just because you have chosen to have your reception in an indoor venue doesn’t mean you can’t bring the outdoors in. Flowers, greens and branches can be used to decorate the hall and bring a touch of nature into your celebration. Carefully chosen color schemes can also give the ballroom a playful outdoorsy feel.

Lighting is a great way to highlight different areas of the room. Try different colored lighting, uplights or candles for your ballroom wedding.

Lastly, when choosing to have a ballroom wedding enlisting in help is a big stress reliever. Leave the decorating and set up to them, they have done it millions of times before and will be able to create the look you are envisioning.
