The design should be in harmony with the chosen style of the holiday. Registration may directly depend on the location of the field registration. Decorative elements and their color scheme should be combined with the natural landscape or interior of the room where the holiday will take place.

So, for outdoor registration, natural shades are desirable: emerald, beige, blue. A combination of any two shades would be ideal .

An outdoor ceremony on the territory of an estate or museum will be somewhat limited in this regard. When decorating, you will have to take into account the historical value of the exhibits and the inability to rearrange anything at your own discretion . Decorative elements should be more solemn and elegant. Bright flashy colors are undesirable.

You should think about places and methods of attaching decorations . Outdoors, care must be taken to ensure that flower arrangements, ribbons and balloons are not damaged or blown away by the wind, so they must be tied firmly and securely .

When registering for off-site registration on the seashore and in open spaces (helicopter decks, observation decks), it is better not to use balloons and lightweight elements. In the premises of historical objects, it may be prohibited to attach decorations to the walls or furniture.

The list of accessories for on-site registration is quite large, but is everything really necessary? Here is a list of what is really important :

1. Arch;
2. Registration table;
3. Chairs for guests;
4. Textile;
5. Flowers;
6. Registration certificate;
7. Pen;
8. Sound accompaniment.

Decoration of the bride's home

It is usually held in front of the registry office, and, according to the rules, the groom sees his beautiful bride for the first time in magnificent wedding attire. But, before this long-awaited moment comes, the groom must prove his right to the hand and heart of his beautiful chosen one, and also demonstrate all his advantages. How is the scene decorated?

• The design begins with the entrance or yard. Balloons in the form of garlands, flowers, and hearts are hung. The railings are draped with gauze fabric, artificial or fresh flowers. You can hang posters and colorful drawings, paper or foil figures on the walls. The path is lined with carpet, hearts and stars cut out of cardboard.
• Many garlands of snow-white doves, gold or scarlet hearts, and flowers are hung in the house. Hang pompoms and balls, arrange candles. In the most prominent place, symbolic rings, connected hearts, framed with gauze and ribbons are created from balls or flowers.
• The initials of the young, congratulatory or humorous inscriptions on banners, posters, or collected from colored letters on a strong thread, branches with leaves and climbing plants are also often used. Butterflies made of paper or fabric attached between flower buds, on walls, mirrors, and glass will not spoil the festive mood.

Underwater rocks

• First of all, it is worth assessing the features of the natural surface of the site. The methods of installation and fastening of the most important accessories (arches, registration table, racks) will depend on this;
• Uneven natural surfaces can cause inconvenience when laying a path, so it is better to level the surface or compact the path itself. Remember that the newlyweds should walk along it gracefully, and not stumble ;

Caring for a wooden arch

If the arch is installed indoors, then maintaining it does not require effort. As a rule, the layer of varnish that is applied to the wood will allow it to have an attractive appearance for quite a long time. Another thing is an arch in the garden. To protect it from the influence of precipitation or pests, it is necessary to use special antiseptic compounds, as well as paints for exterior use. Wood should be painted at least once every two years, preferably annually. Before painting, it is necessary to clean off the old coating layer. This can be done with a spatula or medium-grit sandpaper. After stripping, the wood can be covered with a layer of drying oil.

The bride's bouquet

Not all flowers are suitable for a winter wedding bouquet. You should only choose varieties that are resistant to harsh weather conditions. Orchids, ranunculus and calla lilies are cold season favorites. Bouquets of pine needles, cones and rowan branches are stored for a long time and look great in the photo due to the contrast with the white dress.

Lovers of handicraft and creativity can create a bouquet of knitted flowers, balls of different sizes, ribbons and beads. This option is especially relevant if the bride’s outfit includes knitted items - a shawl, scarf or mittens. Remember that the groom's boutonniere should match the bride's bouquet and repeat some of its details.

Required parts

Even a classic party can be harmoniously and tastefully decorated, and the uniform style of the hall will add charm and warmth to the holiday. If the newlyweds decide on their own, or with the help of friends, to design the room, you need to take into account the main points:

Details are always important

Wall Decor If this is a restaurant hall and you have chosen the appropriate style, you are lucky, but if not, you should not bother with full drapery with expensive materials. Inexpensive organza, mesh, ribbons will help add the necessary motifs to the image.

Wall decor

Decoration of tables and chairsDesign of tables and chairs. Tablecloths and chair covers play a huge role in creating the ambiance of a room. If it is not possible to organize colored textiles, opt for white and enhance it with decorative details. Let's say that blue and white striped tablecloths for a nautical wedding can be replaced with blue and white, and alternate them for tables.

Flowers and balloons For these moments, a lot does not mean good. It is better to allocate a separate table for bouquets from guests, and furnish the hall and tables with small boutonnieres in the desired style.

Lighting solutionLight will make the holiday warmer, and correctly positioned lighting will help in the implementation of stylistic moments. Let's say several lanterns with candle-shaped bulbs will help achieve naturalness and harmony for the eco style. Spinning mirror balls will provide the necessary highlights for a disco or Gatsby themed wedding.

Photo shoot area This is a necessary place for themed weddings. Even if the newlyweds chose a classic party, it’s worth thinking about the background for the photo. Decorate one of the walls in the form of a wall with photo frames, which guests can approach and take memorable pictures with the newlyweds. Free-standing frames and party-style props will make the evening memorable.

The bolder the better

Newlyweds in the post-Soviet space are gradually adopting beautiful Western traditions. Moreover, they do not blindly copy other people’s ceremonies, but strive to create their own, unique surroundings. They are helped in this by creative designers from wedding agencies and decorative artists who specialize in decorating outdoor ceremonies. They use fresh flowers, candles, hundreds of meters of fabric, pigeons in golden cages, umbrellas and even... motorcycles.

You can use a huge number of interesting accessories in your design: original wedding arches, forged racks for hanging balloons, an unusual registration table, vintage lanterns and much more. Some couples are inclined to think that doing away registration with their own hands is very romantic and symbolic.

Decorating the yard of a private house for a wedding

In order for the surrounding area to speak with all its appearance about the solemnity of the event, you need to create an enchanting atmosphere. You need to think about how to decorate the yard with your own hands in advance, since some work will take time (tidy up the lawn, create original wicker fences, etc.).

An arch, which is a symbol of a new stage in the life of the newlyweds, would be a suitable attribute for an open-air wedding. The shape can be any - in the form of a horseshoe, heart, U-shaped, etc. The structure is decorated with light fabric, ribbons, and flowers. The arch will serve as a good backdrop for a photo shoot.

Photo of the wedding arch

Since the space in the yard is large, it is better to divide it into zones, separating a place for congratulations and gift-giving, a dance floor, and a feast area. An appropriate decoration for the local area would be balloons, from which they form dimensional compositions in the form of the same arch above the table of the bride and groom, a large heart, or attach them to the chairs of guests. You need to select balloons of one or two shades, since a multi-colored kaleidoscope will create the feeling of a birthday celebration, not a wedding. In the evening, the fabulous atmosphere will be emphasized by LED garlands hung throughout the site. They will also serve as additional lighting.
