Unique Ways to Decorate Your Ceremony

Are you looking for unique ways to wow your guests and make your big day extra special? Decorating for your ceremony is just one way to showcase your love for another and feature touches that match both of your personalities. Our Colorado Springs wedding venue offers the perfect place to decorate your ceremony to your liking. The beautiful and rustic chapel at The Historic Pinecrest offers the ideal spot for you to say "I Do"! For some ideas for decorating your wedding ceremony, take a look below.

The Aisle

A traditional aisle has a runner in which the bridal party and bride make their way to the alter. If you are a little less traditional, you may choose to cover the aisle with flowers or line the aisle with other decor to match your theme. Many times lights will be draped from bench to bench to outline the aisle. You can also place floral displays along the aisle with candles for a romantic touch.

The Seating

Whether you have chairs or church pews, you can decorate the aisle end of the seating. From a paper lantern hanging off the arm to a mason jar filled with flowers strung by the end seat, you can add simple and unique touches to your wedding space.

The Alter

A very special place where your lives will be joined together, the alter is an important piece of your wedding day. Floral vases and candles are popular items to have featured on the alter. Whether you want a simple alter with a small table filled with your unity items or a large display filled with fun decor to represent your lives coming together, it's a great place to focus when decorating for your ceremony.

The Backdrop

Many couples choose to create an arched backdrop to help frame out their ceremony. It not only creates beautiful pictures, it can help add to the symmetry of your ceremony. An arched floral display is a popular backdrop. Others feature a large item that is close to both the bride and groom. Streamers hung from above are another easy way to give your backdrop some interest. No matter what you decide, we can't wait to see you standing in front of the backdrop saying your vows!

You're now ready to get started planning out your wedding ceremony decor. With these unique ideas in hand, you are prepared to conquer decorating for your big day! Gather your friends and family if you need some help with ideas and executing the look you are going for.

First Steps when Planning a Wedding

Congratulations on your recent engagement! Now the excitement of wedding planning can begin. You and your fiance may be overwhelmed by the number of decisions that need to be made as you plan your Colorado Springs wedding. Don't worry - The Historic Pinecrest is here to help! Below we've provided some steps that need to be taken first. By planning the major decisions first, you won't feel so overwhelmed.

Pick a Date

The most important step to take, before moving on with the rest of your wedding plans is selecting a day for your nuptials. Consider contacting close family and friends to ensure the people you most care about attending can make it on that date. Once you have a date in mind, you can move forward with the next step in your planning.

Establish a Budget

Discuss your finances with your fiance and decide how much the two of you want to spend on a wedding. It's important to have exactly what you want on your wedding day, but a budget is also a great piece of information to establish up front. There are a number of estimated budget examples available to help you plan a number.

Find the Perfect Venue

Get ready for some fun when choosing a venue for your big day. Be sure to tour the venues in person to get a good idea of what the area has to offer for your wedding day. It can also be helpful to lock down a venue that has your date available as soon as possible. Whether you are after a rustic, natural wedding or a classy upscale venue, find a place to host your wedding early on in the planning process.

Select Your Wedding Party

You may have known who would stand by your side the day you get married for a long time or you may need to make a decision now. Many couples try to have the same number of attendants on each side for a symmetric look for the wedding. The fun part is coming up with unique ways to ask your bridal party to be a part of your big day!

Start a Guest List

It's important to know a rough estimate of the number of guests you plan to invite, especially when shopping around for different venues. Make a list of immediate family, extended family, friends, and other acquaintances that you wish to join you on your big day. This can also give you a good start when it comes time to make out invitations.

Now that you know what steps need to be taken first when planning a beautiful wedding near Colorado Springs, you can relax a little. Planning a wedding is a fun process and you shouldn't feel too intimidated - simply take it step by step and enjoy the adventure. This is a great bonding experience for you and your soon-to-be spouse. Planning a wedding together can help incorporate a little bit of both of your personalities together, truly creating a unique wedding for you.

How To Organize Your Wedding

Are you recently engaged? You may start to feel the pressure of planning your wedding - but don't worry - we're here for you! Since Wednesday, April 26th is Get Organized Day, we've dedicated this week's blog to just that - getting your wedding plans organized. From our breath-taking chapel to our large event center, our venue in Colorado Springs offers a great place for your big day. If you're starting to feel overwhelmed, when planning your Colorado Springs wedding, take a look at our tips, provided below.

Make a List

To start, make a checklist of decisions that need to be made, as well as other tasks that should be accomplished, before the big day. You can get some great wedding planning ideas on Pinterest! There are also a number of time frame lists that can be found, to help with your checksheet of tasks. This list can help you stay on track, for what you need to do, at what time you need to do it.

Divide & Conquer

Once you have your checklist made up, it's time to take action! Divide your list into a time frame, to get a good idea of what needs to be complete by what time, depending on how far out your wedding day is. Recruit reinforcement to help you accomplish your upcoming tasks. Whether it's help the day of the wedding or a craft session with friends beforehand, to get your decor made, your friends and family will be eager to help you prepare for your big day.

Stick to Your Schedule

Once you've nailed down a schedule of when certain tasks should be completed by, try to stick to that closely. This can help avoid a pile-up of items that need to be completed, at the last minute. Your schedule should allow adequate time for all tasks to be accomplished, to help reduce your stress level, as your big day approaches.

Stay Organized

As the theme of this blog, organization is key, when planning a wedding. From making decisions about your big day to orchestrating your bridal party to making it all flow smoothly on the day of, staying organized can help a TON! Having your plans organized can also help you feel more at ease, about your upcoming event. Many brides will have a notebook or binder(or two!) dedicated to wedding planning. This can help keep all of your decisions, timelines, and other wedding information all in one place.
