Make one decoration piece the focal point

It is important to remember that minimalism is not just plain decorations and no life. It is about combining small but carefully chosen designs in order to create one statement element. Imagine the simplicity of a room full on candles, with the candles organized in a way where your eye is draw to a modern and elegant centerpiece, which is the focal point of your design. This is the essence of minimalism.

Keep the colors limited and simple

Neutrality is important. Having a few colors stand out will make your designs more impacting and stylish. Keep your space simple and allow your decorations to have a voice of their own. Seeing a collection of flowers decorating a table with neutral elements, instead of a cluster of clashing elements, will be sure to impress your guests.

Keep your table decorations to a minimum

Choose simple and neutral linens and tableware. Use chairs that are simple and elegant on their own, ones that do not need any covers or extra cushions. Allow the chairs and floral elements create the texture contrasts in the room. Choosing chairs that stand out and a table runner made of carefully coordinated flowers and succulents are a more stylish alternative to over the top floral arrangements and blinged out chairs and tables.

Prioritize natural lighting

Using an outdoors space or a space with a lot of large windows creates a simple and calming feel. If the event is in the evening, use dimmed lights or covers to lie over lights in order to create a more intimate and soft atmosphere.

Pick a venue that is impressive on its own

Also, choosing furniture that blends well with the character of the venue, and that has simple beauty is ideal when creating a space that uses the décor already imbedded in the venue.

Make your food a work of art

Adding simple elements such as seared salmon over roasted vegetables is simple and elegant, yet stunningly beautiful. As for your cake, simplicity will be your best friend. The most popular trend is the “naked trend”, follow that and your cake will be sure to match and elegance of your minimalist wedding décor.
