Ruby's Blog | Your Wedding Decorations

Hello Brides and Grooms To Be!

I’m Ruby, the Rochester Bride! As a newlywed of the Rochester area, I love sharing my knowledge of the wedding experience with newly engaged couples. This week I can’t wait to share with you some tips and pointers about your wedding decorations!

From simple to extravagant, almost all weddings need decorations. Depending on your tastes and budget there are a variety of choices available which will complement your wedding.

Accent lighting and ribbons create an attractive and alluring ambiance. Another consideration may be the use of props, draping, or custom motifs.

Balloons are festive, affordable, and a unique way of decorating your reception. Beautiful and elegant, they are available in a variety of colors as well as white, silver, gold, or diamond clear.

Unusual and colorful flower designs are available in a wide price range. Use plenty of greenery or combine silk, dried, and fresh flowers for special arrangements and centerpieces.

Other decorations to consider are signs and banners, tissue flowers for cars, paper items such as monogrammed napkins, a special garter, guest book and pen, ring pillow, toasting glasses, a basket to hold favors, money boxes, and candles.
