It’s easy to plan a pretty wedding…but how do you take it up to the next level? By literally taking it UP and hanging a major design element from the ceiling! Cheesiness aside, hanging installations in weddings is a trend we picked up on a few years ago and now we’d venture to say it’s a new classic. Nothing says “wow factor” like a cloud of florals over the sweetheart table or a museum-worthy piece above the altar.
There are so many creative ways to build a hanging installation and we’ve rounded up a few of our favorites to get your wheels turning! You can use all sorts of materials, from fabric to florals. Be sure to chat with your wedding vendors to see what ideas they have up their sleeves, as well.
Without further ado, let’s turn our eyes to the skies!
