Decoration of a wedding gazebo. Test of imagination and taste
How to decorate a gazebo for a wedding is a matter of personal preference and financial capabilities. Of course, it is always more convenient to use the services of professional decorators. After all, it is enough to choose something acceptable from the proposed design options.
If you don’t find a suitable design in the catalog, just try to explain the style of your wedding on your fingers so that the designer can understand the idea and think through an individual decor.
The main requirement is that the design of the gazebo should not stand out from the main leitmotif . But one acceptable option still exists - contrasting colors.

The gazebo can accommodate all the guests of the celebration, tables, dance floor and musicians. Or maybe a very small one, in which the main wedding ritual . The approach to decor in this case is also different.
A small gazebo should be ideal for the newlyweds and highlight their outfits. All the attention of the guests is focused on this building. After all, there the heroes of the occasion pronounce their vows and become legal spouses.
Delicate shades in decorating a gazebo
A large gazebo, first of all, should be comfortable. Attach most heavy and bulky decorative elements outside the room. Leave floral and small decorative decorations inside so as not to clutter the dance floor space.
Pay attention to table decor. Beautiful baskets with flowers, ikebana, garlands, original lamps on and above the tables - all this will create a charming atmosphere of the wedding celebration.

Delicate and familiar white color in fabric canopies, flowers, garlands is suitable for any classic wedding. But if the sensuality of white is already boring, and there is no desire to experiment much with color, give preference to pastel beige, blue or gray tones.
This is usually appropriate when surrounded by vibrant nature with lush greenery, flowering trees and rainbow flower beds
If the celebration is held, for example, on the beach, where there is dull sand all around, then it is better to decorate the gazebo in bright colors . Pink, raspberry, lilac or blue - whatever the bride and groom like.

In relation to the Japanese style, the ideal combination would be to plant dicentra flowers in flowerpots. Their inflorescences look like small red lanterns, which is so valued in oriental design. Lilies with their tiger color are also suitable.
Cascades of flower pots with plants of varieties of marigolds, asters and dahlias are arranged on hanging structures. A wide selection of their colors will create a wonderful atmosphere during the day, and at night, with lighting, it will add mystery and mystery to the atmosphere of a summer cottage.
Decorating an open gazebo with climbing roses
When decorating a summerhouse with flowers, the following varieties are ideal:
- Muscari. A perennial plant that grows in one place for up to 5 years. There are blue, purple and white.
- Crocuses. Good, thanks to the early onset of flowering. The length of the plant is up to 15 centimeters, so it is convenient to plant them in small flower pots.
- Peonies. A well-known flower. May be white, pink and red. It has a voluminous, fluffy bud and a fresh scent.
- Low growing lobelia. Due to its low sprouts, it is perfect for planting in flower pots. This plant blooms beautifully both in shady areas and in full sun.

Arch – shelter and decoration of the main ceremony
A wedding arch is the same necessary decor as a small gazebo if an outdoor ceremony is planned. She highlights a place that will attract the attention of all invitees. Under the flower vault, the newlyweds will become legal husband and wife. Therefore, this building creates the main mood of the wedding.
To decorate a wedding arch, you can use any available decoration elements - branches, flowers, fabric, paper or wicker elements
It can be heavy, bulky and stand permanently in the garden or in a restaurant, or it can be light, compact and easily installed in any chosen place - on the seashore or river, in a park or in the courtyard of a house.

If we continue the theme of living and natural wedding ceremony decorations, it is worth noting the natural arches made of bushes and trees. A wedding ceremony under the green vault of a beautiful plant, decorated with ribbons or small lanterns, will turn a strict and exciting ritual into a fairy tale for the bride and groom. Pay attention to this unusual, but certainly stunning type of “arch” if you want to decorate a wedding in a country, rustic or boho style.

Veranda for weddings - the mood of celebration
If the wedding is planned for the warm season, but the bride and groom are afraid of sudden bad weather, then the veranda of a restaurant or country hotel complex will be an ideal solution to this issue.
When choosing such a room, pay attention to the view it offers: city lights, river, seashore, forest or garden
Think about what is most suitable for the style of the celebration.
Hold a modern, bright, dynamic wedding on the veranda of a restaurant on the roof of a high building. Add more garlands, lanterns and other lighting elements to decorate the room to enhance the effect of the city rhythm on the cycle of entertainment and dancing.

Organize a calm and romantic wedding on the veranda of a restaurant somewhere far outside the city. The tranquility of the pond and the rustling of leaves will smooth out the nervousness and excitement before the celebration. In nature, pay attention to the decor with live fire - candles, a fireplace or an open hearth will create a cozy atmosphere in the evening. Ribbons, balloons and paper garlands will add lightness and ease to the atmosphere.
How to decorate a gazebo with your own hands for a wedding?
Of course, flower arrangements, large fabric elements and other bulky decor are best left to the work of professionals .
But it’s always interesting to do small details yourself in order to bring a bit of your own work and soul into the wedding celebration
Candles in hand-made candlestick jars look charming and gentle on a festive evening:
- Wrap a piece of wire around the neck of the jar and make a neat loop so that the jar can be hung on a tree branch or in any other convenient place.
- Pour sand, stones or other loose and solid materials into the jar (choose as non-flammable as possible).
- Carefully place the candle in the jar and sprinkle with sand or stones for stability.

Before work, the jar can be beautifully painted and decorated with stencil designs.
Another way to dilute the strict decor and bring a bit of homeliness and comfort to the celebration is to add words of love, laid out from letters sewn from fabric. Choose bright colors. Add delicate lace, beads, and other elements, and an excellent wedding decoration is ready. Place the letters in a prominent place in the gazebo and they will attract the attention of many guests. Especially those who are younger. Large letters made of cardboard, tightly wrapped with bright yarn, look very warm and interesting. Let it be the first letters of the names of the bride and groom or any good wish to the newlyweds.

Preparing the gazebo for a birthday
A birthday in a country house or in a gazebo on your own plot can also be made festive if you decorate the place effectively. You can use inflatable balls, paper or New Year's garlands, and a canopy. If there is a stuffed animal at your dacha, put it in order, dress it up and place it to “welcome” the guests - such a reception will definitely be remembered by all invitees.
Garland of butterflies
A garland of butterflies can be made even from a simple newspaper or book pages
You should definitely make original decorations for the gazebo with your own hands in the form of a garland with silhouettes of butterflies. By the way, this decor will look great in the garden around the perimeter of the gazebo.
First, make a stencil for the butterflies of the desired size, then cut out the required number of figures. It is better to use thick paper, in different colors if possible.
Next, take a strong thread and sew all the figures. To ensure that the butterflies remain in their place and do not move when the garland sags, make several small stitches on each figure at once.
Glowing balls
Rarely is a birthday complete without balloons. And if you are celebrating a holiday outdoors, try to improve ordinary balls by making original lamps out of them. To do this, you will need button batteries, LEDs, tape and the balloons themselves.
So, first you need to attach the LED legs to the battery. After contact, it should light up immediately; if this does not happen, change the polarity, that is, turn the LED over. Secure the entire structure with tape (see also the article “Lamps for gazebos: requirements for them and suitable options”).
Carefully wrap the “legs” of the LED with tape - otherwise they will pierce the balloon
Next, the matter remains small. Place the blank inside the balloon and inflate it. Such “lamps” look especially impressive if you use loose balls of bright colors.
Wedding rotunda. Do you need decor?
Usually, decorating a rotunda for wedding ceremonies is the work of those who rent out this rotunda. But if, according to the conditions, the decor remains yours, since the design requires special elements , first you should still take a closer look at the chosen place.
Some rotundas are works of art in themselves and do not require additional decorations
Especially if they offer views of the sea, lake and other stunning places. Extra details will only distract guests from the newlyweds and from the surrounding beauty. You can add a few neat elements - a flower garland, fabric decor or balloons. But try not to complicate the overall picture.
Wedding rotunda on the seashore - a minimum of decorations and a maximum of emotions
The decor of a wedding gazebo, arch, veranda or rotunda also depends on the courage and unconventional thinking of the newlyweds. If cyclists decide to cover their wedding rotunda with various parts from old bikes, who will criticize this decision? If the bride and groom, for objective reasons, were unable to hold a ceremony on the seashore, who is stopping them from filling the floor of the gazebo with sand, putting up a couple of aquariums and imagining themselves on the Red Sea coast? Flowers, ribbons and balls are wonderful classics, appropriate for any traditional celebration. Don’t be afraid to come up with a non-traditional wedding and non-traditional wedding decorations yourself. Fantasize easily!
