Timeless Wedding Decoration Ideas

The Barn at Belle Hills • March 15, 2023

Wedding themes go in and out of style almost as often as fashion trends, but some decor pieces are as timeless as your love is. These wedding decoration ideas will make your ceremony and reception unforgettable, no matter your theme.

Timeless Wedding Decoration Ideas, no Matter Your Theme

Greenery

Greenery is the glue that blends different decor elements together. After all, it is the base of every bouquet for a reason! Whether you’re a traditional bride or a bride who wants to shake up tradition, use greenery to fill empty spaces in your decor. Perfect for table decor, creating a full wedding arch, or sprucing up your photo backdrop, greenery can be used almost anywhere throughout your ceremony and reception.

 

Eucalyptus is one of the most popular choices for wedding greenery but talk with your florist about which kind fits your style and budget best. Wedding flowers can be one of the most expensive parts of a wedding. If cost is a concern, using faux greenery is a chic way to keep your budget under control.

Mood Lighting

Most wedding receptions last well into the night. The decorations for wedding receptions need to last just as long as your guests do, and you’ll need ample lighting to keep the party going! Instead of relying on cold, impersonal overhead or fluorescent lighting, hang string lights, lanterns, and candles to create a warm and inviting atmosphere.

 

Retro, modern, or classic, there’s mood lighting that will perfectly match your wedding style. String lights cast a magical twinkle on fairy tale nights. Edison bulbs and other vintage lighting shower your reception in a warm glow. Arrange lanterns around your space for larger lighting pieces that integrate well with floral displays. No matter your wedding theme, aesthetic mood lighting will complete your decor.

Personal Touches

Your wedding is a celebration of you and your love. Including personal photos and mementos as decor is a special way to celebrate your history and invite your guests to get to you know you on a deeper level. Display your engagement photos in a special arrangement or use them as table number markers. Select wedding favors that reflect a sentimental portion of your love story. Incorporate the flower of the month you met or started dating in your bouquets or floral arrangements. The options are endless and including these personal touches will add to the incredible memories of your special day.
