Find Your Wedding Motif - Wedding Decor Styles

By:


I encounter countless brides who become bemused when they start to study what they want for their wedding receptions. After being bombarded with so many pictures of flowers, tables and centre pieces, their original vision becomes lost. A lot of brides simply cannot find anything which inspires them. Others have a feel of what theyd like but find it hard to visualise or articulate it. However you feel, there is a way you can focus and create an event that fulfils your hearts desire. This easy exercise is very beneficial for brides as it helps them encapsulate what wedding dcor style to go for.

Every bride ought to select a wedding motif before they begin the planning process. A wedding motif is the visual interpretation of your style. It is a symbol or an object that will imply what you want your special day to be. An example would be a white swan for a bride who wants an elegant day or an orchid for an exotic event. Your motif can be anything an animal, a flower, an object, a landmark, a precious stone, or a fruit.

I usually suggest starting with a brainstorming session. Say for example you getting married in spring, brainstorm things that remind you of spring; tulips, Easter, birth, rejuvenation, energy etc. If you have already picked a theme such as Vintage, expand on that in your brainstorming session; tea party, pearl, parasol, bird cage. When you have a list of words, let images inspire you. Look for images that epitomise these words, the web is very useful here. Save the pictures that you are drawn to and you deem represent you and your partner. From here you can create your motif.

When you have your motif be it a grapevine or a bunch of lavender, you can use it to help select every piece of your wedding dcor. It makes picking wedding decor, flowers, invitations and even colours much easier. Your symbol can be used within the decor. You may like it so much it could be used to embellish parts of your dcor. The symbol may be repeated on your napkins, plates, chair covers, the possibilities are endless. You may just end up with an ideas board and you cant choose between the symbols. This can work to your benefit too - just use the several different symbols to make up the components of your theme.

An alternative but sometimes more difficult idea to finding your symbol is to choose your archetypal bride, Pocahontas, Maid Marian etc. You can even use celebs, Katie Price or Princess Diana. Your archetypal brides style will determine the style of the rest of the wedding dcor.

Creating your motif is a fun task and it will really help you determine what kind of wedding youd like. You can also use it in your wedding dcor too. To demonstrate, lets say your symbol is the daisy. This straight away conveys that you would like an informal, personal day, probably in the open air, pinks, yellows, greens, spring/summer colours, natural, fresh, light and airy wedding decor. Hay Presto - youve just discovered your perfect wedding dcor style.
