The happiest and most solemn event in the life of every young couple is a wedding. And on this day I want everything to be beautiful and harmonious. And it is very important that the interior design of the banquet hall where the celebration will take place creates an unforgettable festive atmosphere. Decorating the wedding hall with ribbons is a great option.
Unusual decorations can give even a traditional wedding an individual style, add a touch of originality, and also become a wonderful backdrop for a photo shoot.
Design elements
To create a cozy and formal interior, the following are used:
- textile;
- ribbons;
- flowers;
- Balloons.
The fabric is used to decorate arches, doorways, and also for making tablecloths and chair covers. In the first case, it is better to choose a soft, flowing material that falls in beautiful folds that are easy to drape.
For tablecloths and covers, it is better to purchase a denser fabric that can hold its shape well. The traditional color is white, but recently “colored” weddings using bright, contrasting colors have come into fashion.
Flowers occupy a large place in holiday decorations. The table for the newlyweds is decorated with a garland of flowers. Both fresh and artificial flowers are used for the interior.
The combination of fabric and colors looks great when decorating a room.
Balloons are an affordable and simple decorative element that easily creates a festive mood. It gives the interior airiness and lightness.
Balls can frame doorways, be collected in garlands, or placed vertically on special stands. Large figures made from balloons in the form of flower arrangements look original. Bundles of balloons inflated with helium can be used to decorate banquet tables.
Attention! Consider other room design options. For example, fabrics or balloons.
Peculiarities
Ribbons occupy a special place in the decoration of a wedding hall; they go well with all types of decorations and look elegant and stylish. This decor is suitable for any wedding: traditional, themed, boho or loft style, wedding a la russe or in gypsy traditions. For a wedding in a rustic style, a combination of satin ribbons and lace is perfect. Decorating a wedding hall with ribbons looks good both indoors and outdoors, among nature.
You just need to follow simple rules:
- all decorative elements must be consistent in the same color scheme; a combination of no more than three contrasting colors is allowed;
- It is better if the main color is light tones: white, cream, peach, milky; decorations made from ribbons should be combined with the interior (when choosing a color scheme, take into account the color of the walls, furniture, curtains, etc.), fit harmoniously, and not look alien;
- You should not overload the design with details; it is better to maintain some conciseness.
Wedding decor can be used at any time of the year; in winter it is better to choose more muted shades; delicate pastels are suitable for spring, rich colors for summer, and bright colors for autumn. So in winter, delicate but warm colors are preferable: pink, peach, light green. Joyful shades are suitable for spring weddings: green, turquoise, red.
For summer - blue, burgundy, purple, and the autumn riot of colors can be reflected in orange, scarlet, wine, and gold shades. Decorating the wedding hall with ribbons, as in the photo, will definitely please the newlyweds and invited guests.
You should be careful with the color yellow - it is better to combine it with dark colors; it looks ugly on a white background.
Materials
Organza or satin are most often used - these are inexpensive materials, have bright colors and many shades. The translucency of organza gives airiness and tenderness, and the shine of satin adds style and nobility. For a wedding in a boho or country style, especially one held outdoors, ribbons made of denser fabrics - jacquard, grosgrain - are also suitable. Nylon or chiffon ribbons are also used.
The width of the ribbons used for decoration is from 0.5 cm to 15-20 cm. And the color palette is limited only by the imagination and design of the artist who decorates the hall with ribbons for the wedding. You can stick to solid colors, or you can use colorful printed ribbons with a pattern or border. If you don’t have ribbons of the desired color, you can cut them using a hot soldering iron from a piece of suitable fabric: satin or crepe satin.
A special place is occupied by special ribbons made of rhinestones and paper decorative ribbons. The former are widely used for decorating glasses, candles and vases with flowers, and polypropylene ribbons are used for decorating bouquets and balloon arrangements.
From elementary to complex
Of course, you can focus on floral arrangements, but here you will need a more serious approach.
Especially if you decide to do it all yourself. Each flower will take a lot of time. However, you can purchase the basic design, for example, for the arch, guest tables, backdrop and other location areas ready-made in an online store or in wedding salons. And for the presidium, bridal bouquet, boutonniere, try to make it yourself.
Master classes will help you with this; below you can see how to make a wedding bouquet yourself.
The main thing to keep in mind is that for one flower - the simplest twisted rose - you will need about 50 cm of ribbon. It is better to buy in reels, it will be cheaper than cut. Mostly, tapes with a width of 5 cm are used, they cost an average of 20 rubles. for 1 meter. You can use other sizes, ranging from 0.6 cm to 10 cm, depending on your needs.
The options may be different, as well as varieties: with a pattern, with smooth or uneven edges, or even with a color transition.
When using satin decor, feel free to combine it with openwork braid, tulle or organza stripes. This will add tenderness and airiness to the wedding atmosphere.
I would like to draw your attention to the fact that there is a huge variety of bows for chairs. And you can easily find the option that suits you. You take an ordinary case and enliven it with luxurious decorated bows, made yourself, if you have a little imagination and desire, or purchased ready-made, perhaps made to order, for a specific style. Moreover, you can find not a single type of option, but a rather individual one, using different colors, textures and attributes.
Decor in detail
The decor offers many options. You can use them to decorate arches or the wall behind the newlyweds. If the design involves an arch or a stable structure, then it is enough to intertwine it with wide ribbons of two contrasting colors and decorate it with flowers or balls. Ribbon garlands can form a false wall for a photo shoot or beautifully hang from the ceiling or be mounted on chandeliers.
Chairs are tied with contrasting bright ribbons and tables are decorated, thereby achieving unity of style. You can drape fabric over the newlyweds' podium and guest chairs, and tie beautiful bows on top.
They are also used as a material for making all kinds of artificial flowers: roses, dahlias, peonies, etc., which are used in room decoration.
Ribbons are used to make delicate and beautiful flowers for decoration, topiaries for tables, boutonnieres for witnesses and guests, bracelets - headbands for bridesmaids, wedding bouquets - stand-ins for a photo shoot. Thin bright ribbons and bows made from them are used to decorate invitations, place cards and menus. Satin ribbons are used to decorate champagne bottles, glasses and other small items and accessories.
An original and unusual decoration will be a false wall made of satin ribbons of different widths and light garlands. Such a ribbon “waterfall” can also decorate windows, turning even a not very cozy room into a beautiful room and creating a feeling of fairy tales and magic.
It is not difficult to make artificial rose petals from satin strips, which relatives and friends shower the newlyweds with after the registry office. An unconventional solution would be bundles of ribbons on a stick, which are waved as a sign of greeting, instead of petals.

Various ways to decorate the bride and groom's glasses
Wide and narrow ribbons are used here: the wide one is tied with a beautiful bow on the stem of the glass, and the narrow one makes neat and elegant small roses, which are used to decorate the wine glass itself.
A glass decorated with lace looks very sophisticated, most impressively in white or with a silver thread. By the way, I advise you to decorate not two glasses, but four or even six. Since they tend to break, it’s better to be on the safe side. Moreover, in the registry office or at registration, one type of glasses is usually used, and at a banquet and photo shoot, others are used, but the style must be maintained, so decorate them the same way.
You can very easily decorate candles by wrapping them with a thin ribbon strip around them and securing them with a neat bow decorated with a bead.
An excellent option for replacing bonbonnieres would be aromatic sachets - these are bags filled with relaxing, wonderful-smelling herbs (they serve to calm you down). Usually stored under the pillow or hung in the room, spreading a subtle and delicate aroma. Thanks to them, guests will remain in a good mood for a long time.
You can also make simple and original bonbonnieres from small cardboard boxes, which just need to be tied with a beautiful ribbon. At the same time, put anything in the bonbonniere: starting with soap and ending with chocolates.
Don't forget about the book of wishes and pens (it is better to foresee the number of them in advance, so that guests do not run around the entire room in search of writing materials).
Practical advice
To make your wedding truly irresistible and remembered with pleasure, use a few useful tips:
- when choosing jewelry, do not forget about the compatibility of textures - linen fabric and satin ribbons, even of the same color, will look completely different;
- Having decided on the wedding concept, evaluate the existing interior of the proposed banquet halls and choose the most suitable one;
- discuss in advance with the administrator what kind of design is desirable for you, whether they will allow you to attach ribbons to the ceiling, chandeliers or window cornices;
- before decorating, satin and nylon ribbons must be ironed well to avoid creases and unsightly folds;
- ribbons go well with most other decorative elements: fresh flower arrangements, balloons and glass balloons, paper flowers and lanterns.

Decorate the hall with satin ribbons in the color of the groom's suit or the bride's dress. In addition, arrange with the administrators of the banquet hall to decorate the backs of the seats with small tulle bows. Albert Tangousidi
