Wedding Vows & Ceremony Discussions

I may have to have a theatre ceremony...need help with decoration ideas!!

So my venue canceled on me last month and ever since then we've been looking around but almost everything is gone for our date. We found a reception place and they have a theatre we can use for the ceremony but I don't see the vision here and need help. I originally wanted something outdoors or with plenty of natural light so I'm not too motivated to settle for this...any thoughts??? Does anyone have pics or websites for ideas?

  • Do you have pictures of the theatre? Do they have a good lighting system that you can have access to? You can do amazing things with lighting and back drops and what not. These are a couple of pictures from productions my college did. They're kinda dark pictures, but you can get the general idea - there were scenes in the first one where the backdrop was bright blue and the stage area was green, really making it feel like outside - I wish I could find a picture for you, it was really cool.

    You can get cloud and tree gobos, which are basically metal stencils that go inside a light and then project the pattern onto a backdrop or the floor, etc. You could def get an outdoors feel with items like that. And ask the staff at the theatre what they recommend - if they have a scene shop on site they may let you borrow/rent items that would work to decorate the space with.


     


  • I'm thinking I might use a local theater for mine as well.  Some candles and backdrops can do amazing things.  If they won't let you use their supplies, just request a basic black backdrop and get some fake trees/branches or things to set the scene at the front of the stage.  It can still be beautiful and bright.
