Wedding decoration with fabric: with balloons, flowers, modern trends

Do you want your wedding to turn into a real fairy tale? It's very easy to do! Decorating a wedding hall with light, flowing fabric will transform any room into a cozy, fairy-tale tent.

Noble velvet, softly sliding silk and transparent chiffon are the main tools for creating a solemn and at the same time romantic atmosphere. In addition, with the help of fabric drapery it is easy to achieve the desired stylistic effect at any, even the most original wedding, as in the photo.

The atmosphere of a fairy tale

The stunning creative outfit of the bride and groom, gifts and surprises, the atmosphere of love, happiness and slight excitement evokes feelings of delight, fills with warmth and positive emotions. A composition in the form of two hearts made of gel balloons, fresh flowers and doves, boutonnieres, bonbonnieres, and a candy bar are an integral and very important part of the wedding celebration.

An innovative trend is decorating the wedding hall with fabric. Everything is decorated: columns, the arch of the “young people”, the terrace, the staircase of “love”, walls, the cortege, tables and chairs of the banquet hall, including the decoration of the hall.

Why canvas? The fabric is multifaceted: light, tender and airy, like the first feelings of falling in love; light and warm, like the souls of two hearts; emotionally expressive, romantic and passionate, like first dates; fabulous and magical, like the whole love story.

Why do you need decor?

Future newlyweds can save time and money by not decorating the banquet hall at all, but this option is rarely found even at the most budget weddings. Since the wedding day should be remembered for a lifetime, it is customary to celebrate it brightly and solemnly, and for this you cannot do without appropriate decor.

Sometimes it is possible to create a wedding atmosphere using just a few decoration elements.

Most often, this is possible in cases where the interior of the banquet hall corresponds to the general idea of the bride and groom. For this reason, it is recommended to carefully choose a suitable establishment - you can avoid spending time and money on lavish decor.

In addition to creating a festive atmosphere, decorating the banquet hall is also necessary because it emphasizes the overall style of the celebration. Themed weddings are becoming increasingly popular, but to make them original, you have to come up with new ideas for decorating the surrounding space. It is the design of the room where the creation of a new family will be celebrated that will unite all the individual decorations into one whole.

Interesting! Also consider options for decorating the hall using balloons or beautiful ribbons.

Fabric for decorating a wedding hall: top leaders

The “unspoken wedding day fashion” accepts only two types of fabric when decorating the celebration hall.

This:

fabric with a heavy and matte texture;
textiles are light and airy, preferably translucent.

It is believed that the most successful decor option is a combination of two types of fabrics with each other when creating the desired combinations.

There are leading fabrics that are most suitable for decorating a banquet hall or celebration room.

Unconditional leaders:

atlas;
organza;
chiffon;

brocade;
taffeta.

On a note

Finally, take a few more useful tips on creating wedding decor with fabrics.

Choose the material for decoration depending on the effect you want to achieve.

Airy fabrics (tulle, organza or chiffon) will add tenderness and lightness to the event, while denser, more expensive fabrics (velvet, satin, brocade) will add luxury.

Remember that light shades visually expand the space, while dark shades, on the contrary, narrow it. Consider this fact when choosing colors for textiles.
When choosing the color of fabric for a feast (tablecloths, napkins, chair covers), you should also take into account the shades of the dishes. White, gold and milky are universal and will suit absolutely any set.
By the way, napkins are a detail not only for aesthetics and hygiene, but also for additional table decoration. You can use them to make elegant bows, flowers, swans, boats and many other interesting items.
Before purchasing, calculate the required amount of material, purchase fabric with a small margin.

Presidium for newlyweds, decorated with fabric

Be sure to ask the restaurant in advance what types of decorative fixtures you will be allowed.
It would be useful to recall here that fabric is a highly flammable material. To ensure a holiday without any emergencies, carefully consider fire safety.

Shiny satin

The primacy is given to the atlas. The smooth surface of the canvas gives the textile a touch of elegance and solemnity. The base is natural threads, it is possible that there are fibers with a small proportion of synthetics. Satin is self-sufficient, but it is given a special chic and charm by its decorative component - embroidery with silk thread, shimmering beads, decoration with stones and ribbons.

It is satin that occupies a leading position in the list of fabrics most in demand by decorators when decorating a wedding ceremony. Its undoubted advantages are that it drapes beautifully, taking any given shape, and fills the room with solemnity and wealth.

Ceiling decoration for a wedding

When planning a wedding, newlyweds try to take into account all the nuances to make the holiday a success. This is especially true for decorating the room in which the celebration will be held, because the guests’ general impression of the wedding celebration will also be based on its appearance. When decorating the hall, the newlyweds do not ignore the ceiling, which is decorated based on the style of the celebration, financial capabilities and taste of the newlyweds.

Translucent organza

A worthy second place is rightfully given to weightless organza. The fine interweaving of two fibrous threads, completely different in composition and structure, produces an unusually delicate and romantic fabric - organza. A touch of airiness and lightness is achieved by combining threads such as silk and viscose, or a tandem of viscose with polyester threads.

The first impression upon contact with this type of textile is a feeling of rigidity. But this is more of a plus than a minus. Decorating a hall with organza is easy, thanks to the easy adoption of drapery. The textile fabric is thin, light, translucent.

Organza looks most advantageous when made from it:

bows and flounces on chairs;
quilling;
garlands on walls, arches, stairs.

Wedding fabric decorations made from translucent organza look very elegant and mysterious. Decorative elements for a wedding procession are almost always made from this type of fabric.

Advantages of airy organza:

easily takes the given shape;
looks airy;
in sunlight, it plays with light reflections, giving the entire wedding atmosphere magic and fabulousness.

Decor options for the hall, ceiling, walls

Themed weddings are very popular these days. Decorating a room with fabrics allows you to create the right atmosphere.

The banquet room can be decorated in an oriental, Mediterranean or maritime style. Using materials of the desired color, you can create a semblance of scenery for an American western, a Venetian carnival or an ancient Greek epic.

There are a huge number of options for decorating a wedding with fabric, but you should always remember the danger of oversaturating the interior with decorative elements and turning a fairy-tale tent into the rich chambers of a gypsy baron.

If you are not sure that you will be able to beautifully decorate the room yourself, it is better to use the services of a professional stylist.

Wall drapery

No matter what deplorable state the rear for the celebration is in, drapery of the walls will fix everything.

Using fabric on the walls changes the overall background, hides minor defects, and also creates a feeling of wealth and comfort.

Garlands are hung on the walls and beautiful waves are created from various materials. If there is no desire or opportunity to completely decorate the entire room, you can decorate only the wall behind the table for the newlyweds.

In this place, fabric figures in the form of hearts or swans are usually created against a background of cascading fabric waves.

Ceiling decoration with fabric

The pattern of decorating the ceiling with fabric is usually the same - from the chandelier to the walls.

However, if the room is rectangular, fabric compositions can fall parallel to each other.

If it is necessary to divide the room into several zones, this is done using fabric hanging from the ceiling. Light, silk or chiffon fabrics are usually used to decorate the ceiling.

The main thing when decorating this part of the hall is to fasten the fabric well, otherwise guests may be in for an unpleasant surprise during the wedding celebration.

Flowing chiffon

The top three is completed by equally worthy chiffon. No wedding hall decoration can do without it. And that's a fact. Textiles are as weightless as air, translucent as clouds, light and tender, like the tremulous feelings of young people.

Upon contact, a subtle micro texture is felt, although this is not visually reflected at all. Chiffon is classified into two types: natural (natural) and artificial (obtained synthetically). Silk microthreads add airiness to textiles, which cannot but be used when decorating a room, but not as the main fabric. Chiffon takes a worthy second role when decorating a wedding hall.

Decorate with chiffon:

arches;
furniture elements;

hall walls;
stairs.

In execution it is magnificent: weightless, which means it fills the hall with airiness; forms a brilliant iridescence when exposed to direct sunlight.

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.

Shiny taffeta

Taffeta is used less often when decorating a room than the three previous options. But this is not at all related to the characteristics of the fibers or the functions of textile fibers in drapery. These are rather individual characteristics and the choice of young people.

Taffeta is self-sufficient and competitive. Does not accept minimalism in design. By intertwining silk threads with cotton, manufacturers obtain a fabric of a new formation: thin, on the one hand, and stiff, on the other.

The shine emanating from taffeta is mesmerizing.

Advantages:

does not deform;
takes shape easily;
looks great in folds;
looks interesting when decorated with beads and tulle.

The potential possibilities of taffeta are visible when used as:

garlands (for example, on top of arches);
design of stair railings;
main fabric for decorating covers.

Tenderness and chic are the ideal combination, making taffeta fabrics popular among wedding decorators.

How to decorate chairs with fabric?

Of course, the drapery of the chairs should be in harmony in color and texture with the tablecloth. Usually, covers are sewn from the same fabric as for the table, which are then decorated. As decoration, you can choose bows of a contrasting shade or flowers.

However, it is quite possible to do without covers; there are much less expensive and time-consuming ways to decorate chairs with fabrics. For example, you can simply tie a wide textile ribbon around the back, and then decorate it with a flower arrangement or some bright pompom.

Light tulle

The fifth position in the top is rightfully given to tulle, as the leading fabric used to decorate wedding cards.

This demand for textiles is due to a number of advantages of its individuality:

resistant to deformation;
drapes beautifully;
quickly takes shape and holds its shape for a long time;
has a wide range of color palette.

Most often tulle can be seen in decoration:

stairs, arches;
walls;
furniture elements;
garlands, ruffles and bows for the wedding car.

Tulle for every taste, from transparent to patterned shiny, can satisfy absolutely any ideas of the young.

What to consider when decorating a ceiling for a wedding

To decorate the ceiling of a wedding room so that it is a stylish addition to the entire festive picture, you need to consider:

Room size.
Ceiling height.
Possibility of fastening.
Event style.

Often, owners of banquet halls and restaurants allow their premises to be decorated only with decorative elements that can be easily removed, so newlyweds will most likely have to be content with simple decor. Also, when decorating the ceiling space, you should take into account the style of the wedding: for example, if the celebration will be held in a retro style, then you should not decorate the room in the style of a Russian village. Watch the video to see how ordinary artificial flowers on the ceiling can transform a wedding hall:

Openwork lace

"The Sixth Miracle" This name for lace fabric in our top fabrics for wedding decoration is not accidental. Ultra-thin fibers of silk, cotton or synthetic threads make the fabric not only light and beautiful, but elegant and magical.

Lacy garlands, openwork pendants and bows, wicker arches, flowers - magical beauty available to everyone if you choose the glorious fiber.

Entrance to the hall

You need to surprise guests not only with wow decor, hidden away from view until a certain time, but also at the very entrance to the hall, restaurant or other festive space. These can be stands with compositions in flowerpots or large decorative elements visible from afar. A good solution could be a carpet fenced with posts. These receptions will create the impression of the importance of the event, and guests will be pleased that they are greeted as long-awaited and important persons. And, of course, a decorated entrance to the site for your holiday will help guests immediately immerse themselves in the atmosphere of the celebration!

“Territory of Possibility” when decorating with fabric

There are no limits to imagination. The creativity of decorators, the ideas of the newlyweds and the possibilities of fabrics will make the wedding hall truly solemn, romantic and incredibly beautiful. The overall effect will be amazing.

Most often, the following elements fall under the field of activity of wedding decorators, which they easily decorate with fabric canvases.

This:

chairs and tables;
stairs and arches;
walls and ceiling;
terrace;
motorcade.

What can you decorate?

Celebration organizing companies offer the design of arches with fabric for a wedding, the newlyweds’ car, a banquet hall, interior items and even glasses and other small items. For example, a non-standard idea would be to make a bride’s bouquet and a groom’s boutonniere from satin (photo below). There is no limit to your imagination; you can decorate anything. But it is important not to overdo it; excessive wedding decoration with balloons and fabrics will not look aesthetically pleasing and tasteless.

Fabric color scheme: trends and wishes

Expert advice. When you decide to decorate your wedding hall yourself, do not forget the rule of the “golden mean”:

Remember, everything should be in moderation.
First decorate the ceiling and table. Color compatibility should not be impaired.
Then start decorating the walls and chairs.
Do not overdo it.

A wedding is a romantic and tender celebration. Consequently, the color range of the palette should be within the framework of “tender feelings”. Most often these fabrics are white, pastel colors. But this is not dogma. A modern approach to decorating a celebration hall with fabric does not exclude the use of fabrics in brighter colors, for example, blue or yellow. It all depends on the situational focus of the celebration.

An "orange" wedding - the main color of the fabric for decoration is orange, a "Tiffany" style wedding - these are, of course, gentle mint tones and shades.

Fabric for table decoration

Tablecloths are exactly the classics that were mentioned at the beginning of the article. Perhaps, it is hardly possible to imagine a truly noteworthy alternative to a fabric covering for a feast. And it would seem: what’s so complicated about such decor? You will understand this when you are faced with the choice of a tablecloth among the textile variety, both in color, texture and shape.

First of all, you should decide on the shade; it should be harmoniously combined with the style of the wedding, as well as with the interior design of the restaurant

For example, if the hall is decorated in blue or blue, then brown (chocolate) is clearly not worth combining with it : you need to either select different textiles or look for another venue for the celebration.

Next you need to choose the texture of the fabric, it should be:

dense;
non-slip on the table surface;
quality;
holding its shape well.

Based on these criteria, you can be offered quite a few options. Touch, look and choose the fabric that you like best. By the way, at modern weddings the trend is shiny tablecloths embroidered with sequins, soft velvet and light lace.

Tablecloth with sequins

Textiles do not necessarily have to be monochromatic. On the contrary, various patterns on the tablecloth and contrasting combinations of multi-colored fabrics look impressive. Multi-layering also looks interesting.

Don’t forget to match the tablecloth with napkins: they shouldn’t blend in color, but you shouldn’t make them too bright either.

Wedding space size

Don't forget that when all the guests arrive, the banquet hall will seem smaller than it actually is. If the wedding hall is small, do not overload it with unnecessary elements, including giving up bulky decor, as it will create a feeling of cramping and even discomfort. Light colors in the design, drapery with fabrics with vertical lines, as well as an abundance of mirror, glass and transparent details will help to visually expand the space.
If the room is too large, luxurious draperies that create the effect of a cozy tent, voluminous floral arrangements that fill the space, as well as subdued “evening” lighting (lanterns, lamps, garlands of light bulbs) and multi-level decorative structures will help make it more comfortable.
