💍 Elevate Every “I Do”: A Complete Guide for Wedding Planners in 2025

1. 🎨 The Power of Drapery

Fabric is taking center stage. Drapery has transcended its traditional role—no longer just covering flaws, it now softens, divides, and adorns entire venues. From ceremony arches to dining chairs and even DJ booths, layered fabrics (think chiffon, velvet) add dramatic movement and ambiance theknot.com+1reddit.com+1vogue.com.
