4 Unique Ways To Maximize Your Small Wedding Venue

4 Unique Ways To Maximize Your Small Wedding Venue

Small wedding venue

Choosing a venue for your wedding can take a large chunk out of your wedding budget, so we understand if you want something more affordable. And yet, such options often entail smaller venues, but how can you make the venues seem larger?

If you’re looking to create or make your venue appear big enough for your wedding, here are some tips to consider!

 ●      Choose Your Decor Style

If you want to maximize a small venue, start with minimizing your wedding décor. More decor items at your venue use up more space, and you want the opposite.

‘Less-is-more’ is applicable here, so a few props and pieces of accents are all you need. Then, you can have an ideal minimal decoration for your wedding’s small venue!

●      Leave Out Bulky Furniture

Don’t use large pieces of furniture as decoration. Instead, work with a planned layout and see if the venue needs accent pieces. If it does, create an illusion of those accent pieces instead of using many.

 ●      Explore The Magic of Mirrors

Mirrors have a way of creating a space illusion. If you set them in the right places, they can double or even triple the size of your venue!

 The best way to utilize mirrors is to hang them in cramped places like entryways or perhaps hallways. And you can set them atop tables to add a neat illusion of height. Tall mirrors also draw the eye upward, making the room or venue feel more spacious than it is.

Discuss other ways to use mirrors in creative and strategic positions with your wedding decorator to maximize your venue.

●      Have An Ideal Seating Plan

 Again, working with your layout helps find the perfect seating plan. The arrangement of chairs should have a type of direction. No chair should overlap with the other. Also, long tables are better at maximizing spaces than round ones, which may limit the space.
