The Midas Touch
From statement decor to bespoke marquees, Golden Events share how to create a wedding setting that sparkles with personality
Your wedding decor is where the fun comes in. It’s the aspect of your Big Day where you can really go to town. Some wedding venues are near-perfect as they are and just need some additional details to make them extra special, like flowers and lighting, while others provide the opportunity to create a complete transformation using the theme of your choice. Golden Events are specialists in doing just that, creating themed wedding decor and luxury wedding marquees.
Themed decor can elevate a space while giving you viral worthy visuals. Their most popular themes include nature, creating indoors gardens and green spaces along with romantic candlelit set-ups. Both themes are ideal for indoor wedding venues and marquees and when it comes to the latter, Golden Events are the best in the business.
A guide to choosing your perfect marquee
Golden Events share their expert advice on how to turn a blank canvas into the wedding venue of your dreams
Beautifying a blank canvas
If you’ve found a wedding venue you love but it doesn’t have the capacity for your guestlist, a marquee is the solution. Marquees allow you to make the most of beautiful grounds, gardens and estates, creating a spectacular celebration outdoors while still having all the comforts and grandeur of a traditional wedding venue.
As Golden Events explain: “Forget any preconceptions of a marquee being a tent with a few tables inside. Marquees should be an immersive experience, transformed with colour, lighting and bespoke details, which is our specialty.”
Versatile ways to use a marquee
One of the biggest advantages of a marquee is the freedom they give you. Golden Event’s marquees can hold up to 800 guests. They can be split into a separate area for your ceremony, a dining area, a stage, a dancefloor and a lounge area where guests can relax. Or, if you want your main ceremony in the building and have the dining in the marquee.
Furniture with finesse
Furniture can do far more than provide somewhere for your guests to sit. It can define the style of the marquee and help create zones. From elegant Chiavari chairs to custom-built top tables, furniture is part of the overall visual story. Your table shape and size will also influence the way a marquee feels: long banquet tables can create a sense of occasion, while round tables provide a traditional feel.
Get creative with colour
Marquees give you the opportunity to introduce your own colour palette. The lining, draping, florals, furniture, tableware and even lighting can all work together to create a themed and cohesive look.
When you’re choosing colours, consider the mood you want to create. Soft neutrals, ivory and blush can create an elegant and romantic setting, while deeper reds, jewel tones or rich greens can feel dramatic and luxurious. Sangeets or mendhis are your excuse to get even more vibrant: the more colourful the better.
Set the mood with lighting
During the day, a marquee can feel bright and airy but once the sun goes down, the space can completely change personality. Golden Events can provide solutions like using pinspot lighting to draw attention to tables and project patterns or your initials into the walls. Or, for a romantic evening feel, traditional candlelight can add intimacy and glamour, especially when it’s carefully positioned with crystals, glassware and metallics, creating sparkle.
