Utah Wedding Decorations

An Array of Decorations

There are lots of different ways to decorate for your wedding, especially in Utah where you’ll find many individual decorators, decorating companies, and wedding décor shops, as well as reception and ceremony location sites that do the decorating for you, or don’t even have to because of their natural beauty. This guide will give you more avenues to meander down on your path to the perfect wedding decorations.

Focusing on the Details

When it comes to wedding decorations, there’s a list of details you may not have known about that you don’t want to miss. For example, when wedding planners think of “decorations” they think of practical concerns, such as table linens, chair covers, serving dishes, and of course, the backdrop for the ceremony. Depending on the location of your wedding ceremony and reception, your need for decorations will vary. Various backdrops will accentuate even the plainest of rooms and act as a base theme for the rest of the decorations. For example, a Versailles backdrop features a gate of dark, rod-iron and pillars in muted tones that bring out the beauty of any garden lawn, creating a formal and elegant background for your wedding pictures. Of course in Utah, a country lodge backdrop or a backdrop reminiscent of Old Europe to match Utah’s stone formations would add grandeur at a low price to any Utah wedding location.

Other prime considerations when it comes to wedding decorating are your table and chair linens and covers, which is where you’ll bring out your chosen wedding colors. Using an online linens guide, you can play with potential tablecloth colors and see different combinations. The look of your ceremony backdrop and the colors of your table linens can determine much of the decorating style for your cake area décor, your guest book area décor, your gift table décor, your buffet table decorations, and even your entryway décor. With so many little places to tie in your style, consider using simple but elegant additions, like climbing ivy or coordinated tablecloths to denote areas of importance to your guests. Some conformity in your decorations will provide you with consistent wedding picture backgrounds, but be sure to also add a bit of flare to each area to make it unique, like a fabulous pen with a long ribbon on it tied to your guestbook.

Food area décor can consist of not only table decorations and fresh flowers, but also the serving dishes themselves with exotic liquids inside, like chocolate fountains or punchbowl waterfalls. If you want your dishes to match your décor, say leaf-shaped cake dishes for an autumn wedding, make sure you can coordinate this with your wedding caterer. Other considerations can include any special lighting, draperies, live or cloth plants, and pillars or dividers that are used to break up a large room.

Good Things Come in Themed Packages

Themed packages of decorations, which cover everything from your ceremony’s backdrop to the table linens, are often available through many prestigious Utah wedding decorations companies. Saving money by ordering in a package also saves you from decorating and cleaning up by yourself because the set up and breakdown of the decorations is part of the deal. Furthermore, many Utah wedding ceremony and reception sites already have a beautiful location available to you with minimal decorating to be attended to. For example, the Cottage Reception Center, in Brigham City offers fabulous packages that include not only decorating services, but other big perks like the use of their sound system, floral services, cake making, and more. For a background that fits well with Utah’s southern rock deserts, the Cactus and Tropicals wedding location in Draper features an outdoor pond or an indoor tropical greenhouse. Colored ribbons, fresh flowers, and candles can be chosen to accentuate this already-decorated wedding location.

To seek out more on Utah decorations, check out some online listings of Utah wedding decoration companies, many of which offer incredibly affordable prices. Just remember that while accents and accessories are nice, you’ll first want to ask potential decorators about their range of prices on the basics.
