Stick to a Budget

Emphasize The Features

Every wedding venue has some features that can be enhanced to look fancier and more elegant, such as huge pillars that can be decorated, a fireplace, or floor-to-ceiling windows that can also be decorated beautifully.

For example, the staircase and pillars at this Roman-themed wedding in Jeddah were beautifully decorated with colorful blooms that matched the wedding theme.

We also love how this huge staircase was elegantly decorated by the team of MY Event Design for a Pink Alfresco Wedding in Jordan.

Mirrors Everywhere

Interior designers and wedding planners love to use mirrors to add certain effects to the room they are working on.

Mirrors don't only reflect images, they reflect the lights, and candles, and make space look larger.

We like how mirrors were placed behind this beautiful kosha at this full bloom wedding in Qatar.

Mirrors add more depth and sophistication when used in the right place.

No matter what theme you want for your wedding, mirrors can be used in all different shapes and sizes to add a unique touch to your wedding decor.

Make It Personal

There are many ways to make your wedding personal, for example, have some pictures taken of you and your fiancé before the wedding so you can use them in decorating the wedding venue. Your guests will love looking at your pictures and your wedding will look very unique.

Add your pictures to your wedding cake, centerpieces, and even your wedding invitations. You can also add them to your guest book and wedding flowers around the venue. This lovely Indian couple had a lovely destination wedding in Dubai, check out their beautiful wedding cake with their pictures on it!

Another way to add a personalized touch to your wedding is by adding your initials to the wedding details, just like the wedding of  Ruba and Alexander in Dubai, an installation of the couple's initials added a custom element to the mesmerizing backdrop.

One unique way to make your wedding personal is by bringing back an experience you cherish, this fun and stunning London inspired wedding in Lebanon had the most romantic story behind it, as the couple Pamela and Bassel fell in love in the magical city of London, the couple met in this romantic city and this is when their love started to grow. To celebrate the memory of their love, they wanted to let their guests experience the city, but in Beirut!
