Make an Entrance

Decor and design set the mood for ceremonies and receptions.

Before your guests get that first glimpse of you walking down the aisle or happily dancing your way into the reception hand-in-hand, they see your beautiful decor. Why not make it special? 

From ceremony aisles with driftwood runners and dozens of lit lanterns, to tent entrances draped with greenery or lush flowers, what your guests see and experience when they first arrive can set the mood for your wedding day.

Flowers and greenery speak for themselves – whether it’s shades of blue hydrangeas, muted-green beach grasses, a colorful array of wildflowers, or striking all-white roses. Many couples go even further and add a rustic vibe – using repurposed wood to build a handmade arch, or incorporating mismatched chairs, dinnerware, or fluted champagne glasses that they collected from thrift stores before the wedding.

Looking for something more formal but still festive? Your wedding decor can evoke a sense of refinement with coordinated tablescapes and accents.

We’ve put together a collection of some of our favorite looks to help you create the perfect atmosphere.
