Dare To Be Different With These Wedding Decor Ideas

Modern Wedding Posted: December 5, 2019

When it comes time to plan a wedding, seeing everything that has been done before is sure to give you a good sense of inspiration. But, your wedding day doesn’t have to fit the same mold. Sometimes just a small personal detail can make the whole day extra special. Dare to be different and think outside the box of traditional decoration with these super unique and totally different wedding decor ideas!

Let’s Bounce…

Bring out the inner child in everyone with a (classy) white jumping castle. An addition like this is guaranteed to get the whole guest list up on their feet and enjoying the excitement of the day.

Via PopSugar

Breathtaking Backdrop…

Go all out on a ceremonial backdrop that will make jaws hit the floor. This super unique feather installment has a huge impact, looks absolutely gorgeous and steers away from the traditional floral arches!

Via Revelry Event

Words To Love By…

We totally adore this dramatic decorative scroll to display some of the words you hold most dear. Whether it be a letter from a loved one, the lyrics of your wedding song, or your vows to each other, there isn’t a better way to express your love than this!

Both Men In Your Life…

Sometimes the smallest details make all the difference. This gorgeous embroidery on a personalised tie is the perfect gift for dad to make your wedding day truly full of love for all.

Via Etsy

Light Up The Night…

Make a grand departure with a lantern show at your reception. Biodegradable lanterns look like pure magic and are safe for the environment too – it’s a win-win!

Via Swooned

Seated In Style…

Escort cards are super useful but don’t have to be boring! Put your place cards on small metal candle holders, adding a little more décor to the tables as each person sits and providing a perfectly practical favour they can take home to remember the day!

Via Pinterest

Filled Up On Love…

How adorable is this engraved cutlery as a keepsake for you and your partner! Share a moment just between the two of you as you enjoy your wedding cake as newlyweds. It’s a little hint of your love to remember for years to come.

Via A Stylish Soiree

Written In The Stars…

On-trend for 2020 are hanging arrangements within your reception space, like flowers or drapes to maximise the impact. But, take it to a whole different level with these suspended gold stars dazzling the dance floor. The sense of luxury in a sparkling and fun way really is the best of both worlds.

All-day Angel…

Photos on your wedding day are the only inevitable, so why not provide a unique opportunity to set your day apart from any others. Take a twist on the traditional photo booth props, where guests can still snap up some happy memories. These angel wings are memorable and look brilliant matching the classic soft white tone.

Via Hertsy

Give Them A Sign…

How could anyone resist following instructions when it looks this good? Encourage your guests to put their phone down, or instead to pick it up and use your wedding hashtag. Stunning signage like this is the perfect way to do it!

Via Back Up Backdrops

Go Big Or Go Home…

Flowers at a wedding are expected, but gigantic flowers like these will never be forgotten. We’re obsessing over how delicate these look for the grand impact they make. As a backdrop to a ceremony or filling the room in a reception space, they’re perfect anywhere!

A Taste Of The Tropics…

Traditional plain tables and floral centrepieces look gorgeous but why not think a little differently! Be inspired by your theme and experiment with special ways to make it shine through! This stunning set-up of tropical foliage and citrus fruits looks classy with a whole lot of fun.

Dare to be Different

Via Tenille Fink

Lounging Around…

Provide a whole day of absolute enjoyment by not forgetting your guests’ comfort. When you’re off taking photos or mingling with friends you haven’t seen for a while, gorgeous lounging areas like this look so classy, so comfortable and so creative!

Dare to be Different

Via Love & Splendor

A Grand Plan…

Your seating plans are one thing that is sure to get looked at by everyone, so why not make it as breathtaking as possible. These Perspex boxes displaying the seating arrangements would look stunning on their own for a minimalistic feel, but filled with flowers, will look romantic and luxurious!

Dare to be Different

Via Lauren Scotti

Outside The Box Bouquet…

This stunning bouquet of silk butterflies is incredibly unique and would look amazing walking down the aisle, fluttering in the air. Even just for flower girls or bridesmaids, they would add the most whimsical touch to any wedding.

Dare to be Different

Via Silk Butterflies

Straight Out Of A Fairy Tale…

These woodland-inspired centrepieces bring a whole new sense of magic to your tablescapes. The soft candlelight and rustic textures on white linen look dreamy and elegant, but also steps outside the box of traditional floral arrangements.
