Wedding venues do not have limits. It comes in all shapes and sizes. You can hold your wedding day in a fancy, luxurious hotel, a garden, in a church, or even at an industrial space, like a warehouse! Yes, you can hold weddings in a warehouse space! Nowadays, warehouses are not just limited to manufacturing, industrial, or commercial uses. In the modern world we’re living in today, anything is possible, and so is a warehouse wedding venue.
Don’t know which type of warehouse to rent for your wedding venue? Don’t worry, it doesn’t really matter! Any warehouse space will actually do; the design and styling parts are all up to your creative juices. Should you be anywhere near the city, you can try warehouse spaces for rent in Kansas City. Once you’ve picked the perfect warehouse as your wedding venue, then the planning for all decorations and styling shall begin.
Your wedding day only comes once in this lifetime. Why not make it extravagant and intimate at the same time? If you’re not a fan of anything fancy, and you prefer old, brick walls or “unfinished” venues or paintings, then read on. Below are a few tips on how you can transform a vacant warehouse into a beautiful wedding hall:
Planning
Since you’ll be working with a blank slate, you have to plan everything out. From the colors to the [temporary] wallpapers, to plants (if possible), other decorations, ventilation, sound system, and a whole lot more. With a blank slate, you can freely release your creative juices and revamp the entire place into something you imagine it to be. Don’t be afraid to go a little crazy, it’s your wedding anyway!
However, key points should be your lighting and ventilation. You wouldn’t want your guests, or you yourself, to get soaked in sweat just because you didn’t consider getting enough ventilation for your wedding day. Also, it would be hard to take photos with very minimal light. As much as possible, try installing artificial light and depend less on natural lighting. Most wedding [receptions] nowadays happen in the evening, after all.
Make Use of What’s Included
Chances are, the warehouse space you will be renting comes with a few tables and chairs. With that, you have the option to either put it into good use or not. In most cases, and also for budget and expense purposes, couples prefer using whatever is included upon rental of the entire space. So you see, you’re saving cash from purchasing or renting other furniture while also setting the trend of using different colors, shapes, sizes, and styles of wedding chairs and tables.
Add Some More Color
Warehouse spaces are usually dull because of either unfinished painted walls or walls that were never painted in the first place. With that, make the most out of your wedding’s color palette! Consider getting temporary wallpapers or wall drapes with fun but complementing colors to make your venue look a bit livelier and put together.
Add Candles and Fairy Lights
When it comes to wedding venue lightings, candles and fairy lights are the most popular. Warm glows look beautiful in large spaces, especially in warehouses, where some areas may be dim. Consider getting white candles, or candles which are in-theme with your wedding color palette. Also, fairy lights bring so much “magic” (maybe because of its soft glow) into any type of event, especially weddings. You can hang a few on the ceiling to create a beautiful, false ceiling light if you don’t have the budget for one, or fill each pillar (if there is any) with it to imitate the appearance of vines.
Imitate a Garden Look
Since warehouse spaces come so bland, dull, and simple, you can add a few plants to liven up the venue a little. Studies show that plants (or greens) promote a very calm and peaceful environment, which is just perfect for a wedding ceremony. Try to fill in as much dead space with plants that can add beauty and edge to every corner of your venue.
Set Up a Lounge of Photobooth Area
Warehouse spaces are known to be very spacious that it can probably hold lots of elephants inside. With that, try setting up a lounge or photobooth area on one corner. Throw in some cute accent pillows, a few [wedding] banners and props like the bride’s veil, the groom’s bowtie, a couple of wigs, and a lot more! Go all out and make sure both you and your guests have fun! Plus points if you’re trying to go for a bohemian-themed wedding since pillows and tassels are all part of the decoration.
Get a Live Band to Perform
With a few more spaces left, you can try hiring and setting up a live band to make your wedding and your guests livelier and more active. Getting a live band to perform at weddings is such a beautiful thing. Why? Because live bands can perform songs requested by the couple or the wedding guests. With that, the newlywed can even ask their favorite songs to be played as they dance together for the first time as husband and wife. Nothing can get more intimate than that.
Wrapping Up
Big venues, like warehouse spaces, don’t have to look so overwhelming. Also, you don’t have to spend so much on weddings because you have a lifetime together to enjoy each other’s company and invest in your future. However, for couples who want their wedding day to be remembered (well, who doesn’t?) so well not just by them but by their guests as well, warehouse spaces are the best places to hold these types of venue! As mentioned above, there are plenty of options to choose from so you could design and decorate your wedding the way you want.
