Simple Decor Ideas

There are minimalist but gorgeous velvet decor ideas for different wedding themes and styles. For a fall or winter wedding, consider using velvet table runners or chair covers. This decor will add a touch of warmth to your wedding. For summer or spring weddings, use velvet as an accent rather than the main focus. Consider using velvet ribbons on bouquets or boutonnieres or incorporating velvet into the wedding stationery. For a bohemian or rustic wedding, use velvet in unique ways, such as a velvet fringe garland or a velvet macramé hanging. Also, choose to use velvet in clean lines and simple shapes such as velvet napkins or a velvet ring pillow for a modern wedding. Incorporating velvet into a simple wedding decor is to use it sparingly as a way to add texture and depth rather than overwhelming the whole look of the event.

Wedding Bouquet With Velvet Wraps

Velvets are suitable for several bouquet styles, including classic, romantic, bohemian, and modern. To decorate a bouquet with a velvet wrap, you can tie the wrap around the stems of the bouquet, securing it with a knot or ribbon. You can also use a pin or brooch to attach the wrap to the bouquet. Be sure you pick a velvet wrap that matches the colors of the bouquet. For instance, a deep red velvet wrap will look beautiful with a bouquet of red roses. Also, ensure your choice of velvet wrap complements the style of the bouquet. A classic bouquet would look gorgeous with a simple velvet wrap, while a bohemian bouquet would look great with a velvet wrap with fringe or tassels. Use the velvet wrap sparingly so as not to overwhelm the overall look and style of the bouquet.

Velvet wedding decor adds a luxurious and gorgeous touch to any wedding. Whether used as table runners, chair covers, or even as part of the bridal attire, velvet can help to create a sophisticated look. You can incorporate its versatile material into different styles of weddings, from vintage to modern. Velvet is a preferred option for couples looking to add a touch of grandeur and class to their wedding decor.
