Decorations bring a significant amount of meaning to the wedding. In Singapore, traditional wedding decor is often characterised by beautiful flower arrangements which can amplify the aesthetic of the venue.
Here are six important areas where you can add flowers to create the perfect atmosphere for your celebration.
1. Stage Backdrop: Creating a Stunning Focal Point
The stage backdrop stands at the centre of your wedding decor, catching your guests’ attention and appearing in most photographs. You need a design that matches your wedding style while making a strong visual impact.
White roses and hydrangeas work well for traditional weddings, creating an elegant atmosphere. If you want something more current, try mixing different flowers in matching colours. For outdoor or nature-inspired weddings, bright tropical flowers and green plants can enhance your backdrop.
You can add personal touches to your floral backdrop with:
- Bright letters showing your initials or wedding date
- Hanging crystals or modern shapes
- Old-style picture frames with flowers
Wedding decorators suggest mixing flowers with other materials such as fabric, lights, or metallic pieces to create an interesting backdrop that photographs well.
2. Reception Area: Setting the Right Mood
Having guests see your reception area for the first time allows them to set an expectation for the beauty of your wedding. Hence, your decor should create that first impression.
Consider these options for your entrance:
- A flower-covered arch at the doorway
- Large flower arrangements on tall stands near the entrance
- A wall of flowers doubles as a backdrop for a photo shoot
Add smaller flower arrangements to your guest book and gift tables to maintain the theme throughout the space. Keep centrepieces on cocktail tables short enough for guests to talk across while adding beauty to the area.
3. Photo Display Area: Capturing Beautiful Moments
Modern weddings need attractive photo spots for guests to take pictures. Your photo display area should work as both decoration and entertainment.
Try these ideas for photo backgrounds:
- A complete wall of flowers matching your wedding colours
- A modern structure decorated with hanging flowers and plants
- A decorated frame or swing with flower accents
Create a wedding hashtag and display it clearly so guests can share their photos online.
4. ROM Tables and Chairs: Making the Ceremony Special
For Singapore weddings, the Registry of Marriage (ROM) ceremony marks an important moment. The right wedding decor can make this part even more meaningful.
For your ROM table, try these decorating tips:
- Floral arrangements like roses, peonies, and orchids are the most romantic and sophisticated. Immaculate hues or soft neutrals such as blush, white and lavender are beautiful for the arrangement. Keep it simple to match the outfits of the couple and the theme.
- Ensure the flowers don’t obstruct important items like the marriage certificate.
For the chairs, you might want to:
- Use soft tulle or lace draped from the chair backs for a light, airy feel.
- Wrap green plants and flowers around the chairs
- Spread flower petals around the seating area
Make sure these decorations stay in place but can be moved easily after the ceremony ends.
5. Aisle Decor: Creating a Beautiful Path
You should pay special attention to your wedding aisle, which is the passage that leads to your marriage. This path can be either an indoor or outdoor ceremony. However, your wedding decor should always resonate with its significance.
Consider these decoration ideas:
- Rose petals arranged in gradually changing colours
- Floor flower arrangements or tall flower stands along the rows
- Candle and fairy light placement will heighten the allure of the floral arrangement..
- Attach small floral arrangements to the chairs lining the aisle, such as on the ends or every few chairs. Tie them with ribbon or lace to enhance the decor theme.
The flowers chosen for the aisle should go with the bridal bouquet without taking the spotlight. Many couples in Singapore reuse their aisle decorations during the reception to cut costs and minimise waste.
6. Banquet Table: Creating Beautiful Centrepieces
When it comes to the decorations, your guests are bound to spend the majority of their time around the beautiful banquet tables, so placing these centrepieces requires significant attention.
When planning your centrepieces, remember:
- Consider the size of the tables when designing the centrepiece. The smaller tables are placed lower to allow the guests to speak freely. On the larger tables, the centrepieces are much taller to make a statement but still allow the guests to see each other.
- Match them to your wedding theme
- Choose flowers that stay fresh throughout your event.Â
Popular centrepiece options in Singapore include:
- Tall vases or candleholders with hanging flowers for a big table.
- Short, full arrangements in flat containers
- Different combinations of flowers, candles, and decorations
Add items that tell your story or show your interest in the centrepieces to make them more personal.
