venue decoration for personalising event

Each couple has their own story, and now, more than ever, couples want their story to be part of their wedding day—not only through the vows themselves, but also through the actual space in which memories are created.

All over Singapore, couples find ways to create memory making that is not simply a traditional wedding. They want their venue decoration to represent who they are as a couple, their travels, the things they love to do, and their belief systems. Couples today are no longer following the trends; they are creating an experience that’s authentic, welcoming, and meaningful.

At 8 Asthas, we’ve worked with Indian, Malay, and multicultural couples to turn venues into deeply personal spaces. We help bring character to each detail—merging emotion with design to create something truly one of a kind.

 

Personalised Venue Decoration Services in Singapore

In Singapore, customised wedding decoration is more than just decoration – it is a way for couples to express who they are or what they symbolize as a couple at the celebration. This is how they are doing it, and how you can do it too.

 

1. Sharing Their Love Story Through Decor

Couples are using key touchpoints across the venue to highlight their journey—from when they met to special moments they’ve shared. This might include a memory wall with photos, travel maps, or even corners styled to feel like their first date location.

One couple modeled the look of their favorite coffee shop (small tables, soft lighting, framed menus from that first date) so guests could catch a fun and intimate glimpse of their relationship. 

Tip: Make a list of some key memories you’d love your guests to know, and then search for some creative ways to recreate them at the venue.

 

2. Blending Traditions with a Modern Twist

Cultural elements like mandaps, pelamins, or ceremonial arches are being updated with a fresh perspective. Couples are keeping the essence of tradition but reimagining the colours, materials, and layout to suit their personal style.

This approach is especially meaningful in mixed-culture weddings or for second-gen Singaporean couples who want their culture to be represented in a more modern voice.

Tip: Combine traditional decor items with minimalist setups or bold floral designs to strike the right balance.

 

3. Choosing Colours That Reflect Their Journey

Rather than choosing colour from a sample book, couples are choosing shades that refer back to important moments.  As an examples it could be the colour of the brides outfit when they met ,or a shade that reminds them of that holiday destination.

It’s a small decision with a big emotional impact—and it ensures the whole decor feels more intentional.

Tip: Don’t just think about trendy tones, ask yourselves this “Which colours remind us of us?”

 

4. Creating a Space That Feels Like Home

More couples are turning their venues into familiar, comfortable environments. From cosy lounge corners to framed family photos and keepsake displays, the goal is to create warmth—not formality.

This trend is resonating with smaller-scale venues across Singapore like garden venues, cafes, or boutique hotels. This helps guests to be calm and feel connected to the couple.

Tip: Include pieces from your actual home—like your favourite books, framed quotes, or items from your family’s heritage.

 

5. Adding Personal Quotes and Messages

Handwritten signs, custom boards, and little quote cards around the venue let the couple’s voice come through. These might include favourite lyrics, inside jokes, or blessings in multiple languages.

Guests feel like they’re hearing from the couple throughout the day—and it adds charm without extra cost.

Tip: Choose quotes that mean something to both of you, and place them in unexpected corners of the venue.

 

6. Making the Aisle and Stage Uniquely Theirs

The aisle and stage are where the most photographed moments happen. Personalising these areas with meaningful symbols, initials, or custom florals turns them into focal points that feel one-of-a-kind.

One couple added a lotus motif on their stage to honour the bride’s grandmother, turning the decor into a quiet tribute.

Tip: Incorporate designs or symbols from your family story or shared values.

 

7. Inviting Guests to Be Part of the Story

Interactive decor is becoming more popular—like guest advice walls, Polaroid guest books, and wish ribbons where friends and family leave notes. These elements bring guests into the center of  the celebration.

Especially for multicultural weddings in Singapore, it’s a beautiful way to bridge backgrounds and invite connection.

Tip: Think about what guests can contribute that will be meaningful for you to revisit later.
