One advantage of indoor wedding venues over outdoor wedding spaces is windows giving you plenty of decorating opportunities! Whether you’re looking for a modern vibe or a barn venue feel, creatively draping the windows can set the tone for your ceremony or wedding reception. 

The best part is this works no matter which season you decide to have your wedding on!

Here are some indoor wedding decoration ideas you can use your windows for:

• For sleek, contemporary indoor weddings, opt for sheer white or neutral-toned voile panels gathered at the tops and bottom creating a billowy effect.
• If you’re going for a rustic charm, drape the windows with burlap or muslin fabrics. Let the draping be more casual and unstructured by simply tying fabric swaths at the top. 
• Create an enchanting, secret garden atmosphere using ivy or eucalyptus garlands interspersed with twinkling string lights to outline each window frame. 
• For a luxe look, lavish the windows in lush velvet drapes that spill onto the floor with dramatic puddles of fabric.

7. Get Personal With Place Cards

Creative place cards are the perfect final touch. These small details let you to incorporate your names, wedding colours and theme in unexpected ways.
