Ceiling Decorations

While planning wedding decorations, a lot of attention is given to the wedding centerpieces, the kind of wedding flowers to be used, wedding themes, the choice of wedding colors, etc. However, not much is thought about the ceiling at the wedding venue. Although, ceiling is the last thing that will grab your guest's attention, yet, if some stunning decorations are put up, they can really add up to the effect that you want to create at the venue through your wedding decorations. Scroll down for some of the most creative ideas.

Draping Fabrics
Draping sheets of fabrics from one end of the ceiling to another is one of the most popular ways to decorate them at a wedding. The colors of the fabrics used depend upon the color combination used in the rest of the wedding décor. Nets and georgette look especially good when used for draping, so this is one option that you can consider. However, if the wedding venue is very big, lots of fabric would be required for carrying on this idea. In such a case, go in for accent draping, wherein only some areas of the wedding venue are draped with fabrics.

Strings of Lights
If you are looking for some stunning decorations for parties, then draping strings of lights all over the ceiling is a good idea. Create a kind of a net with lights by running them from one corner of the ceiling to another. Add a few chandeliers in between these lights, if you want to give the venue a rich look. Although, this is meant for outdoor venues, yet you can do the same in indoor banquets too, to add a bit of drama to your party or wedding decorations!

Canopies
Creating wedding canopies with flowers or with cloth materials, certainly make the ceiling stand out. A unique idea pertaining to wedding canopies is to get them personalized. On the corners, you can get the bride and the groom's photographs woven in the cloth itself. If you search online, you will find companies who are willing to do the same for you. However, this décor can cost you a lot. Another lesser expensive option for decorating the canopies is to hang strings of beads from it. If you visit a craft store you will find such strings of beads in almost all colors.

Lanterns
Lanterns make for the most awesome looking ceiling decorations for weddings. Paper lanterns, which come in round shape and a number of sizes and colors can be hanged from various places on the ceiling. When these are lighted at night, they give a dream-like effect to the wedding venue. So, put up lanterns and let your guests enjoy their warm glow!

Balloons, Balls, Stars and Swirls
For those of you looking for hanging ceiling decorations, there is a wide variety to choose from. Adding balloons in some interesting color combination or putting up suspended stars on the ceiling, can give the whole party décor a very different feel. Hanging pots of flowers, global shaped lights and handcrafted tapestry are some other decorations that you can consider, depending upon your wedding theme or party theme.

As you can see, there's a lot that you can do with your ceilings. You just need to use a little bit of imagination and creativity. There is one very important thing that you need to take care of while planning these decorations. To ensure the safety of your invitees and to save yourself from any embarrassment, make use of hooks to fix the décor items properly. This is extremely essential, especially if you are using some heavy decorations. If this is taken care of well, your unique decorations are sure to be appreciated by all your family and friends!
