Less is more! I’ve been seeing a lot of design shifts towards more simple setups where a couple will find is a venue with clean lines or already has a lot of character and all they bring in is just something little like florals to to dress up the altar. I’m no wedding planner but I love dreaming about how they come up with their designs! A few Pro Tips from what I’ve seen: - Don’t try to cover up grand windows, fire places, stair cases, gazebos, or anything of that sort with home made pipe and drape. Sometimes that makes it look even less than with it by itself. - Only build your own altar structure if there is none, but even then — consult a pro for ways to hold it up and drape/cover it best. Sometimes if you don’t have enough material to drape your structure - don’t be afraid to throw some creative asymmetry in there — rather than forcing and odd symmetrical set up. - STOP buying those plastic runners! For one, the wind is not their friend and everything you do to hold it down will look tacky. And two - it doesn’t look good after the party steps on it! So either invest in a good one or just go with the natural setup of the venue! - Find creative ways to repurpose your ceremony florals at the reception to save in floral costs but also so you don’t have to feel like you need more or less at either setup to stay within your budget! - A simple centerpiece is enough! I think all in all - I hope you can start to see that you don’t need too just place things in your wedding just because! Make sure everything is intentional! #loveissimple #weddingplanningtips #weddingplanningdreams #weddingprotip #bayareaweddingphotographer #lessismore #intentionaldesign #bayareaweddingplanner #westinsirfrancisdrake #weddingceremonydecor #weddingceremony #weddingdecor #goldchiavarichairs #indoorweddingceremony (at The Westin St. Francis San Francisco on Union Square) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4p9zBSDbxu/?igshid=zbszcpfle75e
