Drapes. I’m talking about the gorgeous, etherial swags of fabric that drape, cascade, or billow around you and your loved ones on your wedding day. Whether for the ceremony or reception, adding swags of fabric can have an enormously dramatic effect on your overall decor.
I love how these provide a ton of visual interest to the ceremony, whether at the entrance or the center of the action:

Vibrant red makes a statement as guests enter the reception through a beautiful draped entryway:

I love how these swags add soft curves to the ceiling:

And finally, these drapes add decoration to walls or can help designate different areas in one large venue:

Do you have a favorite draping idea? It’s such a gorgeous way to transform a space!
