As one of the best places to get married in Omaha, The Club at Indian Creek is here to help!
There are certain things to consider, whether you’re having a traditional wedding or an elaborate wedding. There are some things you must include, and there are many other optional choices as well! Below we’ll discuss what decor is most important for your wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, tables and reception.
Ceremony
The ceremony is the most important part of the wedding as it’s where you finally get married. However, it’s the part of the wedding that you spend the least amount of time at, so you won’t want to allocate a ton of spending towards this part of the wedding. The decor you do have here, you will want to surround the couple.
A backdrop or aisle arrangements will help your guests focus on you. You can also consider adding altar decor, adorning the path down the aisle and personalizing programs. Here’s a ceremony decor checklist:

Cocktail hour
Once you’ve said “I do,” it’s time to mingle. Not every wedding has a cocktail hour, but if you’re going to host one, you’ll want to allocate the budget towards the drinks and activities. You’ll want to consider using florals to decorate the bar and signage that has your signature cocktails on them.
When it comes to activities, you can have a photo booth or lawn games. You won’t need to spend much on tables; a few high tops will suffice as your guests will be standing most of the time. You can even consider having a lounge area for guests to relax a bit. Here’s a cocktail hour checklist:

You can even personalize each place with a nametag or menu. Here’s a table decor checklist:
