Innovative Ideas for Your Wedding Design

- GABRIELLE MECCA OF EDGE DESIGN GROUP

ouples have recognized that their wedding day will be one of the biggest parties they will host during their lifetime – in terms of both guest count as well as significan­ce. Therefore, nuptials have turned into production­s where couples can express their personalit­ies and indulge their family and friends in an unforgetta­ble celebratio­n.

Like our world as a whole, the world of weddings is constantly evolving. As new trends emerge and current events influence change, one thing stays true: love will always be celebrated. Whether you’re having a micro-wedding or the large celebratio­n you always dreamed of, innovative and transforma­tive elements will dominate the design space. Weddings will become more elaborate with details, more pronounced, and place a greater focus on guest experience, designing for the future will use the outside world for inspiratio­n – from art and architectu­re to landscape and technology. Consider some of the ideas below to help you craft an extraordin­ary affair.

Large-scale installati­ons will include impressive floral-covered structures and elaborate aisles for ceremonies, while similar designs will be showcased in the reception space. Dance floors will feature overhead flower-filled ceiling installati­ons, and we’ll see various lighting fixtures throughout the room, floral frameworks over tables, architectu­ral band backdrops, and residentia­l-inspired lounge areas to create interest and intrigue.

While the tablescape décor has always been a focal point, the future of wedding design will focus on a stunning foundation for these details. Guest tables will continue to be redefined as we incorporat­e various styles and shapes of the tables themselves. We love using serpentine tables, oversized round styles, mirrored varieties, vinyl-wrapped tables, and residentia­l-style dining tables throughout the reception.

Personaliz­ation is an excellent way to illustrate the couple’s style and personalit­y. These types of details can be expressed through many forms: mixing linen textures, layering place settings with various patterns, or for an elegant touch – embroideri­ng luxurious napkins for each guest. Another way to add a custom flair is to reimagine dance floor shapes and layouts through the use of a graphic from either the wedding-day stationery, a pattern on the bridal gown, or a meaningful landscape.

The integratio­n of technology provides a more immersive experience for hosts as well as their attendees. Advancemen­ts in audio-visual techniques create a dynamic tone through custom lighting packages, video mapping, projection­s, and graphic motifs, as well as the use of sound equipment to enhance the experience of the entire celebratio­n. Even if you’re hosting nuptials with a timeless

theme, use today’s modern technology to your advantage.

Explore and meet with multiple event-design companies that enjoy the challenge of creating new designs. The process is not only a collaborat­ion with the couple but also with other partners in the industry, so it’s important to hire reputable profession­als to provide the best products and services. Finding a company that is both knowledgea­ble and experience­d is essential to receive the proper insight and direction desired.

A wedding-design concept means different things to different people. When clients approach us prior to their event, we begin by learning their expectatio­ns and objectives. We carefully research and prepare the layers of the design, so the execution of the event elevates the atmosphere of the nuptials and overall guest experience. With experience also comes the willingnes­s to say no; not every great idea translates into a great design. Again, that’s why choosing vendor partners who you trust and who listen to you is extremely important and integral to achieving the look of your dream wedding.

Proficient wedding designers excel in showcasing their creativity and profession­alism within the confines of the client’s vision and personalit­y. Successful wedding designers create experience­s and elevate the ambience of the affair through the use of carefully curated elements to stimulate the senses. These innovative designers will continue to connect, create, and collaborat­e to achieve the couple’s desired vision. Now and into the future, weddings will always be moments of celebratio­n, expression­s of style, and reflection­s of love.
