Romantic Ribbons




Ribbons used as decor during your wedding are fantastic, functional and best of all, inexpensive! They come in every color under the sun, different widths and textured, plain or with a pattern. In short, whatever your event design, ribbon can surely be incorporated into it seamlessly.

I love the idea of using ribbons to dress up chairs, add some "pop" to favors, or even to create a whimsical atmosphere by hanging them from trees. It looks great wrapped around the base of a wedding cake, or the waist of a bridesmaid. I love the idea of using a "guestbook tree" and having guests write their best wishes to you as a couple. Of course, these "wishes" would be hung on the tree for all to see using ribbon!

It could also be used to add some zip to boring white table linens. Simply cut four ribbons 1.5 times longer than the diameter of the table and cross them. If you think about it, ribbon can be used in just about every aspect of your wedding.

Ribbon can be classic or modern, it all depends on the type you use and what little details you use them in. However, you do have to be careful not to overuse ribbon because too much of anything can make your event design look cheesy.


The way I love to use ribbon is hanging from trees or hanging from shepard hooks lining the aisle. I think it also looks extremely beautiful if used on Chiavari chairs. I think this look is very romantic and lends itself to soft color palettes and a more feminine wedding. Of course, ribbon is so versatile it can easily be used in playful patterns as a detail on a favor box, or wrapped around a simple centerpiece to complete a contemporary or retro design.


However you decide to use ribbon at your wedding, it surely will be breathtaking and create a stunning atmosphere for your guests!
