Perhaps you\u2019ve been inspired by wedding signs on Pinterest. Perhaps you attended a friend\u2019s wedding where the venue\u2019s driveway was illuminated with thousands of tiny lights for a magical effect. Your goal is to create a beautiful approach to where your wedding day begins, making a fantastic First Impression on all, and creating the most dazzling wedding photography opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>First, before you fall in love with any wedding d\u00e9cor ideas for the outside of your NJ wedding venue, before you purchase any wedding decorations or book a special event lighting company, it\u2019s very important to talk with your wedding venue manager beforehand to get permission for any venue d\u00e9cor items you have in mind.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some of the top ways that you might wish to decorate the approach to your venue, with permission granted, of course:<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Lighting. If you\u2019ll hold an evening wedding, and plan for your wedding\u2019s start time to occur at sundown or in the evening hours when the sun has set, lighting the drive up to your venue creates a beautiful scene. Tiny lights in the trees and strung to arch along the driveway, outdoor lighting effects to display your initials on the driveway, clusters of glowing lanterns along the drive, and other lighting d\u00e9cor creates a dramatic, styled look for the approach to your wedding venue.<\/li>\n<li>Garlands and florals in the trees. Again, with your wedding venue\u2019s permission, greenery garlands and floral garlands may be draped from the trees lining your venue\u2019s approach and paths, and a top trend in outdoor floral d\u00e9cor is spiral-wrapping floral garlands around the trunks of each tree. Garlands may be strung over the driveway to create a floral canopy under which guests will drive, and the effect can also be created over walking paths to and from your venue\u2019s wedding gardens.<\/li>\n<li>Signs. Wedding signs lining your venue\u2019s driveway, or pathways through your NJ wedding gardens, create fun and fabulous messaging as a top personalized wedding idea. Your signs might be simple welcomes to your big day, or you might use a touch of humor to stay true to your fun-loving personalities. You\u2019ll see plenty of wedding venue signs Pinterest boards for inspiration, and a perk is that you can then bring these signs home to keep or display as daily reminders of your big day.<\/li>\n<li>Potted trees and florals. Add some extra greenery and blooms to your wedding approach, by placing pretty potted trees and tall flowering plants along the walkway closest to your wedding venue\u2019s entrance. This \u2018portable garden\u2019 creates a lush and lovely welcome, and after guests arrive, these plants may be moved to another spot in your wedding venue if you\u2019d like, or brought back to your home to become part of your plant d\u00e9cor.<\/li>\n<li>Daytime wedding d\u00e9cor. If your wedding will take place in the afternoon, in full sun, your NJ wedding venue approach can still look wonderful even without nighttime lighting effects. Florals and crystals may be hung from your wedding venue\u2019s trees to catch the sun and sparkle, floral garlands can be hung from trees and again be spiral-wrapped around them, and one big wedding d\u00e9cor trend for 2016 is setting out tall metal lanterns along with florals. Even if your wedding timing has your guests\u2019 departure occurring in daylight, such as a 5pm end time in summer as some NJ weddings are planned, metallic d\u00e9cor is a top wedding d\u00e9cor trend of 2016 that works equally well in daytime. And, again, you get to take those beautiful lanterns home for your own home d\u00e9cor.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Talk with your NJ wedding coordinator for even more outdoor wedding d\u00e9cor ideas and inspiration for your wedding venue approach, and again, work with your venue\u2019s manager for full permission and guidelines for any d\u00e9cor elements you\u2019d like to use.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You\u2019ve chosen your wedding venue in part because it\u2019s beautiful inside and out, gorgeously decorated, landscaped and lit to impress your every wedding guest from the moment they first arrive at your wedding location for your big day.
