Tennessee Wedding Decorations


Choosing the right pizzazz will make your big Tennessean day glitter in all the right ways.

Each one of the tiny details that go into your wedding day is, without a doubt, important to making your event a splash. But just the right touch of sparkle can take your wedding day from blah to "Wow!" and you can do that with decorations that suit your style.

Whether you are looking for a bit of lace, a little glitter or a simple touch of light, your Tennessean wedding can be made to sparkle and shine with the addition of the right embellishments.

All That Glitters

Wedding decorations are the ideal way to add your own panache to your big day. This is the perfect opportunity to incorporate colors, lighting and flowers that complement the feel of your event. If you would like to incorporate your Tennessean roots, try decorating with the tulip poplar (the state tree), or either of the state flowers, the iris and passion flower. You're also in luck with adding cute elements, like ladybugs or honeybees -- they are both state symbols.

Other decorations include small plants and trees, and even vases filled with fruits, making your event literally spring to life. The season in which you are getting married can also play a part here: Leaves and fall colors are perfect for an autumn wedding; silver, white, light blue and glitter are ideal for winter; and fresh green colors or even beach themes are very fitting for a spring or summer wedding.

Suitable Decorations for Your Event

If you are planning an outdoor wedding, then take the opportunity to decorate with nature, using flowers to adorn chairs or an archway. Indoor events can benefit from fancy ribbon, flower arrangements and decorative tablecloths. It might even be fun to "decorate" your reception with a fun addition, like a photo booth from a vendor, such as Snap Happy, in Murfreesboro.

Candles, creative centerpieces for tables and small vases can also jazz up any reception. And table cloths, flowers, napkins, napkin rings and place cards are all opportunities to incorporate wedding colors and themes.

Don't Be Afraid of Making a Splash

Some couples like to keep things simple and romantic, while others choose to use decorations that have a more eclectic feel. No matter how you choose to jazz up your big day, keep in mind that it is your day to do with it whatever you want. Take risks and have some fun. Use photos and items that represent your special bond, and combine such mementos with everything that glitters and shines. Guests will love the unique appeal of your decorations, and you'll be glad you did it in style that suits the two of you.
