Curtain Call // Dramatic Wedding Drapery

Looking for a way to take the beauty and romance of your wedding to the next level? Well, taking center stage this year, and enchanting more wedding guests than ever, is dramatic and fanciful drapery! This beautiful décor item encapsulates elegance, romance, and at times even a touch of whimsy, making it a perfect choice for couples looking to create a magical and dreamy atmosphere on their special day.

Essentials for Dramatic Drapery

Consider incorporating one or more of these different elements to wow your guests with eye-catching, dramatic drapery displays at your wedding:

• Use Soft Fabrics: Lightweight, gauzy materials like chiffon, tulle, and silk create an ethereal, dream-like atmosphere at any wedding event.

• Apply Layers: Multiple, generous layers of drapery adds depth, interest and dimension to wedding spaces.

• Utilize Color: Soft, watercolor pastels and neutral tones are most popular with couples, but incorporating bold hues from the wedding color palette make an eye-catching statement.

• Consider Creative Installations: Drapery can be used in various ways, from hanging canopies and backdrops to lavish table runners and extravagant ceremony aisle decorations.

• Add Lighting: Adding soft lighting behind chiffon fabric or using uplighting to highlight drapery panels enhances the inherently romantic qualities of the fabric.

Incorporating Dreamy Drapery into Your Wedding

There are so many places and a multitude of ways to add gorgeous drapery!

• Ceremony Backdrop: Create a stunning focal point by draping soft, full fabric panels behind the altar or by hanging gauzy fabric from an arch, garden arbor, pergola or chuppah.

• Reception Décor: Use drapery to separate and characterize spaces, such as dining areas or lounges, adding definition and artistic direction to the reception. And fabric draped from ceiling beams and columns adds drama, richness and beauty to the room.

• Tablescapes: Incorporate draped fabrics on reception tables for an added layer of elegance and sophistication.

• Photo Opportunities: Set up draped areas for beautiful photo backdrops that create lasting wedding memories.

We love fabric drapery in all forms for its amazing ability to transform any space into an ultra-romantic retreat. Its beauty and versatility make it an ideal choice for couples looking to make their wedding day truly unforgettable.

Some wedding venues in which we've had the pleasure of filming have beautiful drapery already installed in their reception spaces! Check out Renault Winery's Champagne Ballroom, where breathtaking white drapery is seemingly springing right out from the room's grand crystal chandelier.

And Bay Head Yacht Club has gorgeous white, gauzy drapery suspended from the ceiling of their Clubhouse Ballroom, recalling nautical sails floating in a summer sea breeze. Check out Caroline and Kevin's fabulous wedding event at Bay Head Yacht Club to see the beauty for yourself!
