Why a Warehouse Wedding?


There's something so undeniably cool about a warehouse wedding that just speaks to a particular type of couple. The appeal is in the industrial charm, the bare brick walls, exposed pipes, and a sense of rawness that makes it ideal for a modern, bohemian, or industrial-themed wedding.

The trend toward warehouse weddings began in the early 2010s, and since then, warehouse venues have been one of the most popular and in-demand styles for those looking for something unique, stylish, and intimate. This trend, along with the rise of Instagram and Pinterest, has fueled a wedding style that incorporates concrete floors, open beam ceilings, vintage furniture, and rich textures, as well as incorporating rustic and eclectic décor. The attraction of the warehouse wedding is its versatility - it is a blank canvas waiting for a couple to bring their vision to life. It offers endless possibilities for creativity, enabling couples to showcase their personalities and create a space that truly reflects who they are. In addition, the rawness and uniqueness of the warehouse setting provides a captivating background for all the elements that make a wedding - from the tablescapes and ceremony florals to the lights and decorations.


Make the Most of This Space with Gorgeous Uplighting and Fun Decor


The most significant appeal of the warehouse wedding, though, is the atmosphere that is created in the space. The intimacy of the venue makes for a more relaxed and laid-back vibe. There's an air of fun, authenticity, and community, which many couples search for when they envision their wedding.

With a warehouse wedding, couples have the freedom to think outside the box and put their own stamp on the space. Couples drawn to a warehouse wedding are generally looking for something different, a way to showcase their individuality and creativity, and a wedding that reflects who they are and what they want to achieve.

1. Minimalist Elegance

One popular warehouse wedding décor style is minimalism. It creates a sleek and chic vibe with just the right amount of simplicity. Think of metallic accents, crisp lines, and monochromatic color schemes. Utilize raw concrete or exposed brick walls, suspended Edison bulbs, and a simple floral arrangement or two for a minimalist warehouse wedding.

2. Rustic Industrial

If you're looking for a more cozy and welcoming feel, a rustic industrial style could be just what you need. Incorporate warm wood tones, greenery, and neutral colors to achieve this vibe. Try a wood arbor adorned with hanging lights, a wooden arch or canopy, and reclaimed wood signage for your wedding décor.

3. Vintage Chic

A warehouse wedding is also an ideal backdrop for a vintage chic look. Bring the old and the new together using a mix of antique furniture and décor with modern accents. Brass candlesticks surrounding an old typewriter make for a great vintage chic centerpiece. Cozy up your sweetheart table with velvet armchairs. For lighting, vintage chandeliers can add a romantic touch to the industrial setting.

Lastly, consider a bohemian style for your warehouse wedding décor. Playful and carefree, this style can be brought to life through elements such as macrame, dream catchers, and a rich array of colorful textiles. Flowers and greenery will help create the right atmosphere. And a Persian rug under the arch will give your guests something to discuss.

With so many warehouse wedding décor styles, couples have many options to bring their fantastic wedding to life. Let the warehouse setting inspire you to create the wedding of your dreams, whether it's minimalism, rustic industrial, vintage chic, or bohemian whimsy.
