Make a Grand Entrance With a Unique Entryway
When it comes to weddings, it’s all about the grand entrance. It’s the first thing your guests see when walking into the event space, and it should be just as beautiful to welcome a beautiful bride and groom. Even if your entryway is on the smaller side, there are a lot of unique details you can add to make it really pop! Here are some tips and ideas, plus photos from past weddings at Melrose Knitting Mill, to get you inspired.

Flowers are probably the most obvious way to make an entryway really stand out. Here, Expressions of Love Florist created a gorgeous framing of pretty white and pink flowers to match the wedding theme. We love how the ivy curls its way around the door frame!

Candles lining the stairs not only help your guests find their way inside when it’s dark out, but they also set the stage for a moody and romantic evening.

Upon entering the reception area, your guests are going to need to know where to sit—so get creative! A handwritten seating chart on a mirror is a cute and personable way to tell your guests where to go. Plus, they can sneak a peek at their outfits on the way in!
A wreath is another great way to signify to your guests where to enter the wedding—and a beautiful, large welcome sign doesn’t hurt either!
What could be more romantic than a petal-lined walkway?! Your guests will no doubt love making their way to their seats via this ’Gram-worth entrance.
