Establish a Signature Style
Establishing a signature style is the best place to begin building your inspiration. This style forms the foundation for your event planning, provides cohesion between elements, and brings venue ideas together. The theme can be subtle, like incorporating antique and thrifted items with meaning into your space, or grand, like using the venue elements to create the illusion of a fairy garden.
Explore themes that resonate with your venue ideas to start the creative process.
Botanical
For those seeking an ethereal ambiance, a botanical-themed event is ideal. Incorporate natural materials like wood for tables and seating, combined with soft ambient lighting. Allow lush greenery to take center stage, complemented by enchanting touches like fairy lights, botanical arches, and cascading ivy draped elegantly throughout the space.
Minimalist
If a clean, refined aesthetic is your dream, minimalism may be the way to go. Focus on a few standout elements, including a striking altar and tasteful table arrangements. Opt for sleek shapes and a neutral color palette to maintain a serene yet sophisticated atmosphere.
Regency
Step into your own Bridgerton-inspired fantasy with a Regency Era event. Any venue can be transformed with delicate touches and sophisticated details that evoke the charm of this elegant period. Picture yourself and your Mr. Darcy walking down the aisle in style, surrounded by timeless beauty.
Romantic
Create an inviting atmosphere with soft lighting, whether from twinkling fairy lights or the gentle flicker of candles. Incorporate artwork and decor that celebrate love, nature, or dreamy landscapes to elevate the romantic aesthetic. Ultimately, this style is about weaving an emotional connection through your choices, celebrating beauty, and allowing your love story to unfold in captivating ways.
Utilize Creative Lighting Techniques
Light up your romance with various illumination options for your special day. As Minnesota’s premiere ballroom venue, you can trust our team to deliver radiance to every occasion.
String Lights
String lights are a delicate touch to any event venue. This type of lighting looks excellent with layered lighting options or on its own for a muted, fantasy-like setting.
Chandeliers
Chandeliers are a must if you’re looking to convey timeless romance. Placement is an important consideration when it comes to heavy lighting fixtures. We work with some incredible lighting experts to ensure that your day is lit up perfectly!
Paper Lights
Paper lanterns are a chic, modern, but fanciful touch that adds an air of whimsy and brightness to any ceremony. Wedding venue ideas that incorporate water should consider the stunning illumination this type of lighting creates.
Alternative Seating
Seating arrangements turn strangers into a community. Consider these creative ways to bring people together and share love.
Round Tables
In recent wedding venue trends, round tables are becoming more popular, replacing the traditional square or banquet-style setups. One trendy arrangement is the cascade effect, where tables are arranged in an “S” shape throughout the event space. This layout makes guests feel more connected to the experience.
Lounge Area
Create a space where your guests can unwind and mingle. Consider incorporating a velvet chaise or vintage-style wooden chairs for added comfort.
Banquet Style
Traditional banquet-style tables never go out of style. Adding a vibrant table runner can easily enhance the look. These tables can be made extravagant with the addition of flowers, crystals, candles, and other decorative elements.
Distinctive Centerpieces
The centerpiece is the cherry on top of the perfect wedding venue. When selecting the right focal point, consider shape, colors, materials, and theme.
Thrilling Bouquets
Bouquets tie a table together with vibrance and energy. Think outside the flower shop with non-floral wedding bouquets of succulents, tropical greenery, and autumn twigs and thistles as table toppers. Depending on the size of your tables, consider the length and size of each piece.
Unique Decorations
Incorporate decorations that mean something to you and your partner. Family heirlooms, DIYs, and thrifted items can add personal style to your wedding venue.
