I’ve spent many years working with lots of couples and brides as they plan their own personal wedding decorations. I believe that every wedding is different and unique – that’s what makes the day so special for the couple.

How you decorate your wedding will celebrate your own personality and style. You may just need a little help along the way but that’s fine; that’s what this site is here for.

Follow In The Steps Of Others

Many of the brides that I work with find inspiration from other weddings that I’ve produced or they have seen in the magazines or on the Internet. It’s my job to then interpret and help them achieve the look that is unique and special for them.

You might choose to start the planning of your wedding decoration ideas in a similar way. Or you might have a clear idea of what you are looking for but you just need to source the right people and the right products to make it happen.

Either way this site is here to help you. Not only will we give you great ideas I’ll show you where to buy the items and in some cases how to make them yourself.

To Get Started

I suggest that you start to pull all your ideas together and make a storyboard. Don’t worry, it’s a fun activity and you don’t have to be highly creative. You just need to start printing off any ideas that you have seen on the web or cut out pages from your magazines and stick them all down in a planner, ring binder, box file or simply on a sheet of card.

Which reminds me that I must share this with you, this is the ultimate accessory for story boarding. Check out this wallpaper, which you can just hang on the wall without sticking it down if you don’t want to. It gives you frames/boarders where you can stick all your inspiration, dress photos, bridesmaids colors etc all in one place. You can then stand back and get a real feel for the look, colors, style and wedding decor ideas as you put things together.

An online site that also also allows you to create your own storyboard using images out of their library is Wedding Wire.

Why Do You Need To Do This?

In my experience when brides come to me to discuss their flower wedding decorations it really helps if I can see images of flowers, bouquet shapes or centerpieces that they like. This then gives me an idea of their taste, style and personality even if they don’t want exactly what’s in the photos/pictures.

It’s also easier for you to reference everything in one place. If you try to go back through a magazine when you’re talking to someone you’ll never be able to find the image you want.

Only just this week I was having a consultation with a bride to discuss her wedding flowers and she showed me her cuttings book. As she identified photos from my portfolio that she liked, I explained the similarity between my designs and the images she’d collected in her book. She was amazed.

She thought she’d put a random collection of images together but I could see a definite style and theme, which was telling me what she liked. All of this information helps to get the perfect wedding decorations whether it’s the flowers, the dresses or the table favors.

Story boarding is also a really fun activity and it will help you form a clearer image of your own wedding decoration ideas. It’s also a really useful tool to share with not only your suppliers but also your friends and relatives as you plan your wedding.
