How To: Style Your Wedding
STYLE YOUR WEDDING WITH FURNISHINGS & DECOR
Styling a wedding takes creativity, a love of design and an eye for detail. Every little piece contributes to the overall look to reflect you and the things you love.
Of course, there’s the dress, the cake and florals, but you can also express your personal style through furnishings and accessories on your special day.
Purchasing quality pieces for your wedding allows you and your partner to keep, repurpose and update your own home as you start your new life together. Rather than renting generic seating, purchase furniture that will last for years while holding a special meaning. Choosing your own pieces and upholstery also allows you to completely customize each component to bring your vision to life. Your furnishings and accessories easily become your wedding keepsakes as well as functional, beautiful pieces you’ll use every day.
As more and more weddings are evolving into more intimate celebrations, the focus shifts to investing in more meaningful elements rather than attempting to please and accommodate hundreds of guests. Recently, our Senior Designer, Mandy Black, partnered with wedding planner Emily Campbell of Go Bella event production to create a romantic setup for a small, outdoor celebration. Mandy shares some of her tips below for pulling together the wedding of your dreams, with pieces that will last long after the big day.
Include another whimsical seating space for guests to relax in the outdoors. Make it extra magical in the evening by adding candles or a chandelier hung from the trees.
The Lounge Chairs
When choosing accent chairs, you can get really creative with customizations. Each piece can be exactly how you’d like it, from fabric to finishes and nail heads. For your wedding day, and your home, we suggest choosing durable performance fabrics for any custom upholstery. There are so many gorgeous fabrics such as Crypton and Sunbrella that are completely treatable and cleanable in case accidents happen.
The Poufs
It’s fun to feature another texture and add softness to a space on your wedding day with poufs. Poufs are easy to move around can be used for seating in your living room, entry or at the foot of your bed.
The Pillows
Pillows are another fun accessory to mix and match and are completely customizable. Choose a variety of textures or patterns to make it eclectic or stick to the same color palette as the perfect accents featured in the same room.
