Planning a wedding is no small task, especially when it comes to decor. There are so many moving pieces, especially when your venue is a blank slate. With all the details you need to consider, it’s easy to forget something. That’s why we’ve put together this simple, stress-free wedding decor checklist to make sure you’re covering all the bases. Whether you’re going for a grand celebration or a more laid-back vibe, this checklist will help you keep everything in order.

Wedding Decor Checklist

Wedding Ceremony Decor

The ceremony is the heart of your wedding, but it’s also usually over pretty quickly. That means there’s no need to break the bank here. We suggest focusing on what matters most: seating and a beautiful backdrop. These key elements are all you need to make your ceremony feel personal and polished. However, if you envision a few more details, here is our complete list of wedding ceremony decor options.

Cocktail Hour Decor

Cocktail hour is where the fun begins! While the reception is packed with activities, it’s during the cocktail hour that your guests have a chance to mingle and socialize. It’s worth dedicating some of your decor budget here to make it inviting—think about the bar, snack tables, and maybe a few lawn games to keep things lively.

Wedding Reception Table Decorations

Your reception tables are where your guests will spend most of their time, so this is where you can really show off your style. Whether it’s through elegant centerpieces or personalized table settings, the right decor will set the vibe for the evening. Just remember, here at Junebug Weddings, we celebrate the uniqueness of every wedding and believe that its beauty lies in your personal touch.

Wedding Reception Decor

Last, but certainly not least, is your wedding reception as a whole. As we mentioned earlier,.the reception is where guests will spend the majority of their evening, making it the ideal opportunity to invest in decor that leaves a lasting impression. It’s also the place where you can flex those creative muscles and potentially step outside of the box.. From neon signs to epic seating charts to giant balloons, this is the perfect time to express yourself.
