If you have read our recent blog on the latest Asian wedding trends, you’ll know that there are plenty of trends sweeping the Asian wedding scene, from beautiful bespoke mandaps to stunning reception decor.
Typically used in most Asian weddings, Mandaps are usually adorned with beautifully placed floral arrangements. A great way of making your Asian wedding stand out is to design a bespoke Mandap with your decor company. Krystal Group, one of our prefered suppliers at Ladywood Estate provide a personalised & bespoke service regarding all forms of wedding decor.
Flower walls are usually decorated with white peonies, roses, and gardenias. Some flower walls contain greenery to add more colour, although some are just floral decorations. These flower walls create a stunning backdrop for beautiful and colourful photos throughout the wedding celebrations.
Floral ceilings work in a similar way, but are applied to the ceiling of a venue instead. Floral ceilings are sure to impress all of your wedding guests and add colour and brightness to your venue.
Table and reception centrepieces are another extremely popular way to add more flowers and decor to your wedding. Each table is usually decorated with a candelabra, with flowers and topiary bursting out of it. Flower balls, vases and other exquisite creations are often found at the centre of tables, adding a real show stopping finish to the overall wedding decor.
Whilst typical decorations at Asian weddings include religious artifacts, beautiful lanterns with candles to create a soft warm glow and florals, you can play around with different themes according to seasons, your style, taste, religion and even your favourite hobbies to make it more personal.
A wedding theme can sometimes make wedding planning even easier and will align your big day to make everything come together. If you decide to base your theme on the season of the year, you’ll need to think about practicality, colour, food, outfits, and even the Asian wedding venue.
Your wedding theme doesn’t need to be complicated and if you favour simplicity, you should make sure your wedding decor matches.
Spring is the season of soft pastels and blooming flowers. With the perfect temperature balance, it has become the ideal season for a light and airy wedding.
To complement a Spring theme, you can use pastel watercolours in the bouquets, garlands, invitations, wedding signs and even in a flower wall. You can also invest in seasonal flowers such as daffodils, roses, hyacinths and tulips for your floral arrangements.
Summer is one of the most popular months for weddings, weather permitting. You can be bold with your decor colour palette and opt for simplistic statements to compliment the summer colours.
You can play around with Summer flowers in your table arrangements by using peonies, begonias, delphiniums, daisies and geraniums.
With Autumn having a cooler temperature to give it that extra special warmth & feel you can incorporate succulents, greenery and dark, berry colours into the occasion.
You can also incorporate gold accents into an Autumn wedding with shades of burgundy and burnt orange.
Whilst Winter isn’t a typical wedding season, Winter weddings bring people together over the festive season. With Winter weddings, themes include ivory and white colours complemented by leafy greens, including eucalyptus, gardenia and hypericum.
You can also enhance the decor with wooden accents, floral wreaths and calligraphy embossed lettering and signs. You can add elegance to a Winter wedding using sparkle, sequins and glitter.
With any part of wedding planning, there will be some do’s and don’ts to follow to make your life that bit easier. Following these steps will also help you keep to your budget, providing you with more funds to plan other segments of your wedding.
Rather than rushing into wedding planning, we recommend doing your research into themes and colour palettes. Your wedding decor should complement and express your wedding theme so this will need a lot of planning and consideration. Begin researching early on to build up a mental image of how you vision your wedding to look.
List down any decorative elements that you need and would like to appear in your wedding and be specific with your visions. Write down any ideas with the colours and where you may be able to get them from. Alternatively, a mood/inspiration board can be an excellent way of compiling all of your wedding decor ideas, for example, using Pinterest.
Don’t worry if you haven’t got a large budget for decor, as you’ll be able to discuss with a multitude of decor suppliers and source individual quotes based on your vision. The most important thing is to try and stick to your budget. Openly discuss your decor budget with your chosen suppliers, who will be able to create something based on the money you’re willing to spend.
Wedding decor suppliers have a talent of knowing what works well and what might not work as well together. For this reason, it’s recommended to be open-minded when discussing your ideas with your chosen supplier. Your supplier will also provide you with suggestions on what other decorative pieces can be added to the overall theme.
It’s easy to become carried away with choosing a vast array of decor for your perfect day. However, these arrangements may not always work well, so you should carefully choose and consider the overall composition.
If you’re planning your budget but not sure where to start, speak to your chosen decor company to get an estimated costing.
