Decorating the place at the table where the newlyweds will sit is an important moment in organizing the celebration. A properly decorated presidium (that’s what this place of honor is called) should organically fit into the concept of the hall and at the same time be the brightest and most noticeable in the entire celebration room.
The newlyweds' place is located in such a way that it is clearly visible from any point where the guests are sitting, for example, in the center. The attention of all those present will be riveted to the presidium.
How to decorate the newlyweds' table with fabric and lace with your own hands
Decorating the newlyweds’ table with textiles yourself is good for two reasons: firstly, the designer does not know the couple and cannot always determine what kind of design will harmoniously complement the image of the bride and groom, taking into account their character, relationship style, and tastes.
Secondly, the services of professionals are unreasonably expensive. Moreover, if you wish and have some imagination, it’s not so difficult to cope with this yourself.
The decoration of the podium with fabric similar to that from which the bride’s dress or veil is made looks unusually strict and at the same time solemn and gentle.
The table seems to be buried in a wave of weightless foam. The main thing is not to skimp on the footage; such decoration should be lush, cascade like a waterfall and spread along the floor, forming soft folds and bends of the fabric.
Elements for decorating the newlyweds’ place can be used to decorate the hall and guests’ tables.
This will combine them, creating the effect of harmony and completeness. Another win-win technique is layered design. A smooth, plain tablecloth that completely hides the table is draped with colored lambrequins or stripes.
You can also take a beautiful rope, equal to the perimeter of the table, and strips of fabric (their length and width are chosen arbitrarily, depending on the desired effect).
Ribbons are tied around the rope, and the rope itself is attached to the tablecloth with pins.
It is appropriate to complement this fringe with flowers, beads, artificial butterflies and other decor.
A combination of fabrics that contrast in color or texture looks beautiful: dark with light, smooth with embroidered or printed. But cold and warm shades need to be combined carefully.
Tablecloth
The presidium tablecloth serves as the background for all subsequent decor.
Therefore, it is better when it is designed in a neutral style: light, smooth, with an unobtrusive small pattern or texture. Its front part, the one facing the guests, can be lush and fall in folds, but the part located on the side of the newlyweds should be shorter and without frills. This will make it easier for them to get up and sit down, especially for the bride if she has a full skirt. Organza, cotton, lace, satin, and tulle are good for the main tablecloth.
Fabrics with a shiny shimmer of gold and silver look festive, but require a sense of proportion
Drapery decoration
Drapery creates style, adds festiveness and completeness to the design of the podium. It looks beautiful to use the same fabric to decorate the newlyweds’ table and guest places, but in this case the newlyweds’ place should be more skillfully and intricately decorated.
Light, flowing fabrics are suitable for drapery, for example, taffeta, viscose, guipure, colored organza, batik. They decorate the front side of the table, less often the side ends.
The drapery should fit into the style of the wedding and be in harmony with other decorations of the newlyweds' place.
Lace in the decor of the presidium at a wedding
Lace is perhaps one of the most successful fabrics that can be used to decorate a newlyweds’ table.
Thanks to this fabric, a feeling of sophistication and some vintage is created. In addition, thanks to the variety of colors, shades and patterns, lace provides ample opportunities for elegant decoration. It goes well with plain fabrics of both bright and pastel, powdery colors, playing with contrast, or, on the contrary, creating a general ensemble with the background tablecloth.
Walls, stairs, terraces
Many couples would like to drape not only window openings and walls in the hall, but also ceilings. This is quite possible if they are not very tall and you have at least some skills in working with fabrics and fasteners. Otherwise, it is better not to risk your health before the wedding, but to entrust all high-altitude work to professionals. Moreover, you hardly want everything that you built the day before to fall from the ceiling on the heads of your guests at the height of the celebration.
If the restaurant has two floors or the hall has a raised platform with a staircase, it will be very beautiful to drape it too. Usually the fabric is laid in beautiful folds on the railings and between them; flowers, the same as in compositions on tables, or ribbons are attached to the gathering places. Similarly, you can decorate the terrace with a gazebo or arch for the newlyweds at the exit registration.
Properly selected and beautifully draped textiles at a wedding will always help create the right atmosphere and emphasize the solemnity and romance of what is happening. You can practice in advance in creating beautiful compositions, and if you feel that you can’t cope, just call the wedding salon and express all your wishes. Professional services will cost more, but you will get the wedding of your dreams.
Decorating the newlyweds' table with flowers
Flowers are one of the most successful ideas for decorating the table of the bride and groom.
The natural beauty, tenderness, sophistication and grace of plants are appropriate at a wedding banquet like nothing else. You should not choose flowers with a heavy, thick smell (a strong aroma can cause a headache or nausea), as well as allergenic ones and with a lot of pollen.
An interesting technique would be to deviate from the classic options using roses and lilies in favor of less common asters, gerberas, violets, carnations, peonies or wildflowers. Artificial plants can also be used.
To decorate the podium, a flower garland is made and placed on the side facing the guests, as in the photo.
This gives it a solemn and elegant look and, unlike bouquets on the table, does not disturb the newlyweds.
Artificial flowers
They are good because they do not require special care, they look excellent and on the second day of the wedding, if one is planned, they do not emit a smell and do not attract insects. Modern artificial flowers are in no way inferior to real ones in appearance, and often, without touching them, it is generally difficult to distinguish them. Bouquets and garlands can be supplemented with fruits, beads, and ribbons.
Artificial flowers are especially relevant for weddings in the cold season. Their use will allow you not to worry about the plants quickly losing their appearance due to temperature changes or drafts.
Natural flowers
They are as tender and reverent as the love of newlyweds, and therefore fit perfectly into the concept of the wedding celebration. It is worth adding more greenery to bouquets - it refreshes flower arrangements and looks beautiful both in life and in videos or photographs.
The shape of the bouquets can be both traditional and extravagant: asymmetrical, creeping, floating in an aquarium vase - it all depends on the theme and style of the wedding, as well as on the wishes of the newlyweds.
Not only the podium is decorated with flowers, but also the space around it: walls, columns, arches, etc.
Application options
Now you know how to make a photo zone with your own hands for a wedding, using a variety of materials: wood, wallpaper, napkins, fabric scraps, etc. The main thing is to find an option that will highlight the theme of the celebration and the individuality of your couple, for example, a photo stand is suitable for a classic holiday with frames, for a boho-style wedding - a garland of ribbons, and for a celebration in a rustic style, the ideal option would be a background made of wooden saw cuts.
If you come up with an original idea for a photo zone at a wedding, then such a themed corner will become the center of everyone’s attention, the portal www.svadbagolik.ru is sure! And don’t forget to prepare accessories for the photo shoot, which you can also make yourself. Then your holiday photos will definitely become the brightest, most fun and interesting!
Beautiful decoration of the podium for a wedding with balloons
Light, bright balloons will harmoniously complement the design of the podium. You can use them to make a beautiful arch or columns around the newlyweds, or use them to decorate the ceiling above the table.
Balloons inflated with helium and tied to something heavy, placed on the sides of the table, look interesting.
Their color should be combined with other design elements.
Many varieties of backdrops to highlight your individuality
You can order a wide variety of backdrop designs from us: arched, rectangular, several tiers, with a canopy on top (visor), volumetric, modular. For those who want to really stand out, we can make a full-fledged “tent” with 4 legs over the table, decorating it inside with thematic elements, accessories, flowers, and additional lighting. No matter how unusual the idea is, our professionals will implement it in the best possible way.
How to decorate a newlywed's table with candles?
Living fire has always fascinated people, introducing an element of mystery and a certain enigma into the atmosphere. This property is successfully used when creating the design of the podium and complementing it with candles.
The flickering and play of flames in themselves can serve as decoration, and if the candles are decorated with ribbons, lace and in flower arrangements, the effect will be simply stunning. When decorating candles, you should use the same colors and materials that are characteristic of the general style of the room. Candles can be placed not only on the table, but also on the floor, on special stands, in “candlesticks” made of vegetables and fruits.
It is important to remember that open flames can be a fire hazard. For the safety of the celebration, burning candles can be placed in glass flasks.
The basic design of our frame allows you to avoid overpaying for landing with witnesses
It is very important that the backdrop is larger in size than the table of the young people. The maximum size of the classic rectangular structure that we make is up to 4 meters wide and up to 3 meters high. Moreover, we do not charge additional money for making a frame of this size. The bride can be sure that not only the young people, but also the witnesses will fit in the background, and the picture will not turn out “crowded.”
Decorating the newlyweds' table with fruit at a banquet
A bright, stylish and at the same time inexpensive technique for decorating the podium. It is worth focusing on the seasonal availability of these “scenery”. Autumn apples and pumpkins will successfully complement yellow tree leaves, pine cones, nuts, rowan or viburnum berries, asters and marigolds.
In this video there is a master class on decorating and cutting fruits for the holiday table:
For strawberries, chamomile, sprigs of mint and other aromatic herbs, and skewers with other types of berries can serve as a background.
Bright citrus fruits - topiary and garlands of berries or small fruits - will look beautiful and festive. Juicy mood guaranteed!
We don’t skimp on fabrics for the backdrop – a more beautiful picture for the same money
The amount of fabric directly determines whether the result will be lush and rich, or meager and poor. It takes us at least 102 square meters of fabric to create an average classic backdrop. Then the material lies naturally on the frame and drapes beautifully and evenly. While most competitors, in order to attract clients, reduce prices for their services, making backdrops from only 25-30 meters of fabric.
Backdrop design for wedding
The background behind the young people requires special attention.
On the one hand, it complements the overall ensemble of the presidium, but on the other, if you overdo it with its design, it will turn out tasteless and clumsy. The main thing to remember is that the backdrop is just part of the decoration of the room. Neither he, nor the table, nor other furnishings should draw attention to themselves intended for the heroes of the occasion .
If the set table itself is decorated brightly, then the backdrop is preferable to a calm, neutral one and vice versa.
Usually it is customary to decorate it with fabric, flowers, paper garlands and balls in accordance with the general theme of the hall.
We are able to solve technically complex problems - your idea will be realized
Decorating a backdrop for a wedding is not always easy. Once, in a hall for 500 people, our specialists had to make a huge backdrop measuring 4.5 meters high by 5 meters wide with a canopy protruding forward 2 meters. And all this is on the podium. Here our skills and abilities to work at heights, as well as the use of proven installation and fastening techniques, came in handy. The wedding in the European banquet hall was held at the highest level, the newlyweds and their guests were impressed for a long time.
