Will You Design Your Wedding Decorations Based on Your Hobbies?

You will need to make tons of decisions during your wedding planning. Of all the decisions you are going to make, one of the most important will be the decorations of your reception hall.

You wedding decorations should follow your wedding theme. Otherwise it will become pointless to spend so much effort, as well as money on your decorations. Some couples will hire vendors to do the decorations for them. However, a vendor which does not really provide services of high quality may give you all the ready made items which have been used many times before. As a result, you should have your own decoration idea in mind in order to take your decorations to another level.

You should start your wedding decoration based on your hobbies. The ideas generated should be applied to all the wedding items so that they will become a unity.

There was a real case on wedding theme and wedding decorations. A wedding decoration firm got an order from an couple. The couple did not have any idea about the wedding theme and decorations at the very beginning. After a few meetings with the couples, it is found that the bride is an oil painting lover. This becomes the concept generator of the theme and decorations. They decided to make the reception hall like an art gallery, with oil paintings hanged on the walls. This idea turned to be a very successful job of the company.

In the above case, although it seems that the groom was left out in the decoration design, the groom, as well the parents of the couple, were all satisfied with the decorations. However, if I were the company and the bride can manage to do so, I would further suggest the bride to do all the oil paints herself so that the reception hall becomes a venue of an oil painting exhibition of the bride. The guests will certainly be impressed and amazed by such a wonderful exhibition.

All of us have different hobbies and preferences and the above idea is only an example which cannot be applied to your case directly. You should applied the concept behind instead. Since the wedding should reflect the couple, it will be always a good idea to plan for your wedding theme and decorations based on your hobbies and preferences. For example, if both of you and your partner love to collect vintage items, you can certainly bring the items you collected to the reception hall and use them to decorate your wedding venue. You wedding reception hall will become an exhibition on vintage items, and this should be a unique and special design for your reception hall. You guests will be amazed when they see a typewriter which is made on the 50s in your wedding.

One final suggestion is that, you should never make up some "hobbies" in order to decorate your wedding venue. You have to bear in mind that it is your wedding. Your wedding should be able to reflect your and your partner. It will be pointless to make up something just for the decorations of the wedding.
