The Crystal Ballroom Charlotte

Designing Your Wedding Venue


Wedding Venue

Planning a dream wedding requires a dream venue. Some couples rent the empty space, while others bring the dream to life with an all-inclusive wedding venue. Keep reading for the best tips for designing your wedding venue.


Ceremony Space in the Wedding Venue


The ceremony space is the magical place where you will exchange your vows. The wedding arch and the backdrop will frame the magical moment and every photograph. Think about the season, colors and the blooms you want to use to design your space. Rose petals on the aisle are the perfect touch of romance. You should have a well defined aisle with chairs and décor. Depending on your theme and the atmosphere you want to achieve, you could line your aisle with lanterns, vases filled with floating candles or oversized candelabras. The easiest way to design your ceremony space is to plan with a venue with in-house wedding designers.

Staging Your Reception Tables


The reception area is where you will celebrate, and every table will be part of the design. Whether you dare to create a dramatic effect or keep it simple, centerpieces will create the look. The height of the centerpieces should always match the size of the tables. An empty table will look just as awkward as a crowded one. Flowers bring in color and texture while accenting décor. Flowers can be placed in vases, between candles, inside lanterns and used to create floral table runners. Planning with an all-inclusive wedding venue that includes the furnishings and décor can save you thousands on planning your wedding day.


Small Touches in the Wedding Venue


Some small decorative touches have purpose in your wedding venue. Table numbers usually consist of a paper in card stock that is folded to create a tent card and embellished with designs and a calligraphy number. These decorative signs have purpose. They will help your guests find their table. If your theme calls for it, you could name each table with a place, character or song, instead of a number. Place cards will designate seating for each guest. Menus can be tucked inside of the fold of a napkin for an elegant touch. Favors provide a keepsake for your guests. They can be placed above the plate or on the charger plate, depending on how you design the space. These fine details are part of the design.

Designing the Sweetheart Table


The sweetheart table is a special designated seating arrangement for the newlyweds. Since this is where you will dine, toast and sit for many photographs, it is important to keep this space clear for the view of the camera. Use high back throne chairs and design the table to set it apart from the rest in the room.
