Start with a classic foundation. A canopy is a good start. Think about the season.
If you’re holding a summer wedding, you can opt for a sheer fabric that allows for hot weather while still providing some measure of shade.
Brides who are planning a fall or winter wedding can aim for a more substantial and opulent fabric. Consider rich fabrics in velvet for a sumptuous look that says luxury. Let the fabric fall to the floor for added drama.
The stage also needs a place for the bride and groom to sit. Lovely chairs that allow the couple to relax are a good choice.
Gilded chairs are one way for the couple to greet guests.
Large balloons with the name of the couple stretching from the chairs are another interesting detail. The couple can spell out their name with different colored balloons.
Drape the entire area with gatherings of flowers. Place them at each corner of the canopy.
A large grouping of flowers can be placed on top of the entire canopy. This is also a chance to add in lots of light to show it off as the sun goes down.
Lights can go along the top and come down the sides to make it easier for the guests to see the bridal couple. Add something even more special with a carpet spread out underneath the space.
Soft carpeting in a contrasting color is one way to make the area really stand out in any pictures.
This is a chance to let the bride and groom have a place of their own. Show it off with wonderful decorations.
