Why Have Custom Wedding Décor at Your Ontario Wedding

October 11th – There are more choices in décor for an Ontario wedding than ever before!  Most of the “rules” for wedding decoration are going out the window, or at least being seriously rethought.  The usual flowers and bows and white trimmings don’t fit every couple, and they don’t fit every wedding either, so brides and grooms are looking for more personalized ways to express their love and relationship.

Well, what could be more personalized than customized Ontario wedding décor from Best Wedding Backdrops?

Why Choose Customized Décor for Your Ontario Wedding

1. Create highly unique wedding photos.

Your wedding pictures will be with you for the rest of your life, so don’t you want them to be as amazing as possible?  Custom décor ensures that every picture taken at your wedding is clearly your wedding, and no one else’s.  Whether it’s in your own photo book or anyone else’s social media feed, your wedding will be absolutely unmistakable.

2. Personalize one of your most important days.

People are moving away from the “old school” design of weddings specifically because they don’t feel like it reflects them, their personalities, or their relationships.  With custom décor, you can make your wedding a true extension of yourself.  Whether it’s scrapbook-style pictures of the bride and groom, iconography you feel attached to, or even designs created by the couple themselves, custom décor ensures your personality shines through in every aspect of the ceremony.

3. Be unique and functional!

One of the secrets of planning a great wedding knows that properly directing your guests is a big part of it.  A wedding of any size needs clear signage telling people where to go for events, where to sit during the reception, and otherwise guides them through the festivities.  Custom signage lets you do this, while still staying with your overall theme and design, so that every part of your wedding – even the basic directional signs – all comes together into a complete package.

4. Wow your guests.

Sure, a wedding is mostly about the bride and groom, but you can’t forget about your guests either.  You want them to have fun and be totally impressed at the same time.  This is another way that having custom décor can hit multiple targets at once.

Custom décor can ensure guests at your wedding are seeing designs they’ve never seen before, adding up to an experience they’re unlikely to forget for a long time.  All the while, they’ll be enjoying the party and appreciating all the work put into the details.

Why Having a Wedding Ceremony Backdrop Is a Great Idea

October 3rd – More and more people are choosing to have a wedding ceremony backdrop at their wedding, and its little wonder why.  People are looking for alternatives to the usual clichéd wedding decorations, and a wedding ceremony backdrop is a great way to do that.  One single piece of décor can have an enormous impact on the overall tone of the ceremony, as well as being a true centerpiece in terms of decoration.

If you’re looking for a way to make your wedding stand out, while adding some real individuality, a backdrop from Best Wedding Backdrops could be exactly what you’re looking for.

Five Reasons to Add a Wedding Ceremony Backdrop!

1. Cover up any unfortunate views.

Sometimes you don’t have total control over the venue for your wedding, or perhaps the space is perfect except for one ugly wall which would be hard to work with.  This is a great opportunity to deploy a wedding backdrop!  The backdrop can partially or totally cover up the wall in question.  Since backdrops can be anywhere from 8 feet long up to 30 feet or more, you can always get one big enough to cover up anything you don’t want to be seen.

2. Great wedding pictures.

Your wedding only happens once, but your pictures are forever – particularly with digital storage.  Wedding backdrops are inherently photogenic.  They practically beg for pictures to be taken in front of them.  So besides covering up anything you don’t want to see photographed, they can greatly improve the view and all the resulting pictures.  That means your investment can pay off for years and years into the future.

3. Tie together your wedding theme.

Since a wedding ceremony backdrop is likely to be the single largest piece of décor at your wedding that makes it an excellent choice for tying the room together.  It can mesh seamlessly with existing design and color choices, or even pull together several different styles to make a more diverse decorative scheme come together.  Its large size gives it a lot of power over a room.

4. Ensure your dress stands out.

OK, here’s one of the basic issues with weddings and wedding photography:  The traditional decor is white, and the bride’s dress is… also white.  In worst-case scenarios, the bride may end up being lost in her own decorations because there’s too much white-on-white going on.  However, since backdrops can utilize a wide variety of colors and design ideas, it’s perfect for taking pictures where every detail of your dress stands out!

5. Let your imagine run wild with custom options.

You can rent a backdrop with any number of stock graphics on it, or you could go the extra mile and create something truly special and unique.  Custom backdrops can display anything you want, or even be personally hand-designed by the bride and groom.  It could be the ultimate “signature piece” for your wedding – literally!

Creative Design Ideas to Incorporate into Your Head Table Backdrop

One of the single most impressive and dramatic decorative pieces you could add to a wedding is undoubtedly a head table backdrop.  Stretching the length of your head table, this backdrop truly sets the stage.  After all, it’s going to be as large as a piece of theatrical set dressing.

However, that puts extra pressure on the piece to be extra special and distinctive, as well as having decorations on it which properly make use of all the room.  After all, a typical backdrop could be anywhere from 16 to 32 feet across.  You need some big, bold designs to make sure it stands out and does its job framing the bride, groom, and their most treasured guests. Take a look at our Best Wedding Backdrop head table ideas.

Ways to Make for A Distinct Head Table Backdrop

1. Copy your invitation design.

For those who are looking to have a very clear design scheme running throughout their wedding, one of the easiest options is to make the head table backdrop copy the invitation design.  The design work on an invitation is creating a frame around the text of the invite and, in the same way, the backdrop will be creating a frame around your head table.

2. Match the other signage.

In some cases, the design of the invitation will carry over into the signage as well.  However, if it doesn’t, then it’d be a good idea to match the other signs instead.  The same principle applies – the backdrop simply becomes an extension of your overall design style carried through the entire space.  It’s simple and seamless and ensures your head table backdrop is guaranteed to fit in.

3. Black with white highlights, like snowflakes or stars.

Black at my wedding?  It’s more common than you think!  The issue with having a white backdrop is that it’s very easy for the bride to become visually lost within the backdrop, particularly in pictures.  A black backdrop with tasteful white highlights actually works better than you might expect, and ensures the bride is always easy to see, even in shots taken from far away.

(Yes, the groom is probably wearing a black tux, but he won’t be in all black so he’s easier to see.)

4. Use your wedding cake design.

Are you wanting a more colorful backdrop?  Match your cake!  This can be particularly fun, since you’ve got a choice of whether to copy the look of the cake in profile, or from the top down.  Either way, you’ll get a wider variety of colors and the backdrop will still look like it matches with other elements of the wedding.

5. Go wild!

Honestly, if there’s a “rule” to weddings right now, it’s that nearly all the rules are getting thrown out the window.  If the backdrop doesn’t totally clash with your other designs, you could have it look like almost anything you want.  Rather than being a traditionalist, make it wild and crazy to emphasize how unique your wedding is!

Incorporating Colour Into Your Wedding Dance Floor Decals

Some truly impressive pieces of wedding decoration -which can cost less than you might expect- are wedding dance floor decals.  These can take a relatively plain floor and make it something special, that compliments your overall design scheme and really brings the room together.  Even better, modern vinyl decals can be created with glues that never leave residue and can be used on virtually any flooring aside from carpet.  So, no matter the space, there’s probably an option in wedding dance floor decals that will work.

That just leaves the question of design, and the sky is the limit.  Floor decals can be custom-printed in high-quality digital facilities, so they can look like whatever you want them to.  The thing is, most people tend to make their floor decals fairly plain – sticking with a “safe” black-and-white colour scheme.

If you really want your wedding dance floor decals to be something special, add a little colour.  Or even a lot of colour!

Making A Splash with Colourful Dance Floor Decals at Your Wedding

1. Gold

If there’s one colour besides white which will never be out of place at a wedding, it’s gold – the colour of your wedding rings.  (Probably.)  As such, gold can be used as a classy, classic accent colour on pretty much any floor decal design.  Whether you’re using literal gold rings in the design, or just adding golden flourishes, it’s virtually guaranteed to match and make your dance area look particularly timeless.

2. Pink

Pink is another great accent colour for floor decals, which should go well with most traditionalist design schemes.  After all, red at a wedding is a bad idea, so pink can stand in as a romantic colour as well as giving the room a more feminine feel.

Plus, in general, pastels will go well with most classic wedding design styles.  Try mixing in some peach, lime green, or powder blue for more accent colours that will work in most situations.

3. Decade-Specific Theming

More people are turning away from the “traditional” wedding designs and coming up with more personalized looks instead.  Decade-based decals are a great way to emphasize this, as well as making your dance floor look fun!  Try borrowing from the psychedelic 60s, or the iconic 80s “Memphis” look to make a more energetic, playful wedding reception with a dance floor no one could resist.

4. Woodgrain

Want something more classic or refined than pop kitsch, but still more interesting or modern than the usual frills-and-flowers look?  Woodgrain could be the perfect solution.  While it does often have a 70s vibe, woodgrain is still a look unto itself and can be particularly effective in dressing up a very drab dance floor.  No one likes bare concrete, and a woodgrain-printed decal will turn it around instantly while still working alongside a lot of other design ideas.

How to Figure Out What Wedding Decorations to Include Your Wedding

There are so many options when you’re looking for wedding decorations in Canada that it can be nearly overwhelming, particularly in the earlier stages of planning your wedding.  In fact, our general advice is to start off with the “big picture” matters of planning the ceremony and reception, and hold off on picking specific decorations or styles until you’ve figured out several other things.

It’s tempting to get ahead of one’s self and start thinking about the final “look” but things really will go more smoothly if you resist that urge.  So, let’s talk briefly about some of the things to figure out before selecting wedding decorations in Canada, and what they mean for your decorative choices.

Three Major Choices to Make Before You Start Picking Out Wedding Decor

1. The Size of The Wedding

Chances are, you already have a good idea what size the wedding is going to be, but that’s definitely the first thing to nail down.  Your decoration choices -and the expenses involved- will be heavily influenced by the overall size of the wedding including the venue and how many people will be there.

Think about what your budget will be.  A smaller wedding could allow you to have an extremely well-decorated space, whereas hosting a larger wedding would mean fewer and more sparse decorations.  Few weddings have a truly unlimited budget, and this is the time to think about what to really prioritize.

2. Wedding Location and Venue

Always have a venue picked out for your wedding (and hopefully reserved) before thinking too hard about specific decorations.  While there are some which won’t rely on the space -like your tabletop decor- a lot of your decorations will need to be tailored to the location.

As a simple example, if you’re thinking of adding a wedding backdrop to your ceremony, they can come in a wide range of sizes.  They start at around 8 feet across, but can be as long as you need.  Some head table backdrops could be 36 feet wide or more!  They’ll look best if they are the same length as the walls in the room, so you need to know the space before you can order the backdrops.

3. Your Desired Layout

This goes along with your venue choice, but there are also a lot of ways to “construct” a space through decorative choices.  Do you want your wedding to be in one large, open space?  Or do you want it partitioned?  If you’re renting a building like a community hall that has a lot of rooms, will you be making use of those rooms (such as a dedicated photo booth room) or keeping them partitioned off?

Your decorative choices can have an enormous impact on the layout of the space.  You could use a variety of backdrops and dividers to create sub-spaces, or deploy signage to guide people around rooms.  Think ahead!
