The industrial style has captured our hearts since forever! It is used in architecture, decoration and even in the confectionary world. Its appearance, texture and colour are definitely here to stay!
As you have already realized wedding décor is not an exception when it comes to using the industrial trend! We have put together some ideas on how to create a minimalist setting with strict lines and a modern mood by using the one-and-only decorative ally that is none other than concrete!
You shouldn’t limit yourself by using just this one material. Let your imagination run wild and seek the help of professionals, who have undertaken the planning and decoration of your wedding and create an industrial-themed wedding! Add concrete even in places where it should be completely absent, like on the invitations, the wedding dress or even the wedding cake!
CANDLEHOLDERS
Various sized concrete candleholders can be used for decorating the tables. Keep in mind that concrete and shades of bronze fit perfectly!
SUIT & WEDDING DRESS
Be in fashion and wear something industrial-looking on your wedding day! Dare to stand out and choose to wear an airy gown in grey shades, while the groom should opt for a suit made of rough fabric in grey tones.
SEATING ARRANGEMENT
Small signs made of decorative cement in various shades with guests’ names on them can be used for the seating arrangement. If again you are thinking about something more imposing, then you can use cement-made columns decorated with lots of greenery!
RINGS
Place the rings on a cushion… made of concrete, or impress all your guests by wearing a unique jewel made of concrete and white gold!
CAKES
Confectioners’ artistry has evolved and can impress even the most demanding ones! With the use of sugar paste and buttercream, cakes look like they have been made out of concrete and marble. This is definitely the most fashionable trend of modern confectionery.
BACKROUND
A dominant background with strict geometric patterns, made of a concrete surface in combination with various greenery, is an ideal setting for an industrial-themed wedding!
INVITATIONS
For the wedding invitations choose recycled grey paper and print the text in white calligraphic letters. Alternatively, you can use a mat grey colour when printing or an image with a concrete surface.
BOUQUET
Your wedding bouquet should be made up of a discreet flower composition that reminds everyone of wild flowers. Keep in mind that gypsophilia suits this concept perfectly.
ΜACAROONS
Everyone’s all-time-favourite macaroons… Even with a concrete look they are ready to sweeten your guests’ palates.
INITIALS & TABLE NUMBER
Decorative concrete is commonly used to create initials! Select the size and font that suits you best and create your personal and original initials, which you can also use in your home as décor.
Place the table numbers on small concrete bases.
CENTERPIECE
Grey marble flower stands or jars made of concrete, can be used for decorating your guests’ tables. Combine them with impressively bright coloured and bold flowers or with simple compositions in pale shades.
WEDDING AISLE
Low concrete flower stands or even concrete bricks combined with natural flowers and candles can decorate the aisle leading to the ceremony.
