From Concept to Reality: How to Plan a Cohesive Wedding Decoration Theme

At Areeka, we’ve decorated countless high-end weddings across Dubai, and one thing always proves true: When the theme is clear and cohesive, everything just clicks. From the entrance to the final table setting, every detail should feel connected. If you’re aiming for wedding decorations that look polished and well thought out, here’s the inside scoop on how to make it happen.

Focus on the big picture first

Before worrying about the little details, think about the kind of vibe you want for your event. Browse wedding decoration ideas, save what you like, and simply figure out what feels “right” to you.

Pick three to four words that describe your style in magazines, books, or social media. Great examples would be “rustic,” “boho,” and “elegant.” Write them down, have a chat with your partner to align your visions, and make sure all of your choices are in line with these words.

Curate your colours

Pick colours that you want to see at your wedding. Keep your colour palette to three or four shades and stick with them. Changing things later could leave your design feeling unbalanced and messy.

Conceptualise the space

Imagine the kind of altar or backdrop you’d like for the ceremony. How will guests sit? What kind of aisle wedding decorations will you have? For the reception, decide on the centrepiece of the space. How do you want the meal served? What kind of lighting do you prefer? Don’t be afraid to get creative and then communicate all of this to your planner or venue coordinator.

Partner with a trusted vendor

It all boils down to “professionals” vs “friends.” You may have a friend who is an amazing photographer, but are they experienced in weddings specifically? Hiring a professional vendor who knows the ins and outs of weddings will ensure a smooth and successful event. They have the expertise, resources, and knowledge to handle any unforeseen issues that may arise on your big day.
