Components of a stage decor

Before you go ahead with the whole marriage stage decoration, it’s important you know the different elements of stage decor. You can pick your preferred style or theme once you’ve known what goes where.

1. The Entrance

If you believe in “first impressions” you would know the importance of an entrance in a marriage stage decoration. Talk to your decorator and florists to beautify your wedding entrance creatively. Use flowers, lights, drapes, lanterns, streamers...choose your stage entrance according to the wedding theme and your taste. Make the bride’s entry to the stage a grand one.

The wedding entrance is the first look of your wedding decor and holds a rather important role in making sure that your wedding is one of a kind. It is only the first time that you can make a grand impression which can be remembered for life.

2. The Stage

The stage is the “hero” of the whole wedding decor saga. Glamorise the platform using interesting colour schemes and flower arrangements. Make sure to check the size and sturdiness of the stage. This is an important part of a marriage stage decoration so have a word with the wedding venue for various options and possibilities.

You can consider incorporating the stage setup provided by the venue in your marriage stage decoration or create your own personalised one. The stage is the main attraction of the wedding in the decor front and can be beautified in a variety of ways.

3. Bridal seat/couple seat

Another significant aspect in marriage stage decoration is the seating of the bride or couple. Whether you want a single couch, or chair or separate couches discuss your options and choose according to your convenience. Don’t put too many chairs though, to avoid over-crowding the stage.

Couple seats on the stage are also the place where all the conventional wedding photographs are taken. If you are looking for something different and unique, try incorporating creative themes and ideas which can make your marriage stage decoration a class apart.

4. Lighting

“Let there be light”...Because perfect lighting can rise up the whole mood of a marriage stage decoration. A little error in the lights can ruin the entire wedding decoration, wedding photography or the colour of your lovely lehenga! Talk to the experts for ideas on whether you want LED lighting, chandeliers, mirror reflections, earthen lamps or natural sunlight.

If you are hosting your wedding ceremonies in the day time, you can always go for open event spaces with natural lighting, provided the weather is in your favour. It would surely help you cut cost in the area of artificial lighting which you can put use to in other aspects of your wedding decorations. Events are nowadays often hosted in beautiful lawns with inspiring themes and decor.

5. Special Effects

It’s totally up to you how much drama you want to add to your marriage stage decoration. Revolving jaimala platforms, fireworks, floral shower, hydraulic stage or floating platforms- you can choose as much or as less as you want to suit your preference and budget. You can even add floral pedestals or an aisle for the bride to walk on. Ask your wedding planner for more creative notions.

Fireworks, flowers and your loved ones by your side is the perfect setup for a marriage stage decoration which would create an impression on all of your wedding guests that they would remember for the years to come. You can employ as much creativity in this area as possible. 

6. Background

The background of a marriage stage decoration is an equally important aspect to be taken care of. You can go for flowers, lights, drapes or wallpapers depending on your theme of the wedding.

Or you can choose to include a pop of colours and flowers to create a specific and different background which can also work as a photo booth for your lasting memories and equally beautiful photographs. This kind of marriage stage decoration can be placed just beside the main stage.
