DECORATIONS BY RICK

here are many aspects to bringing together a beautiful, memorable, and unique wedding day experience. My name is Rick Mayhew and I am the owner/operator of the company Decorations by Rick. I have been in business for over 25 years and my PASSION is to create that “Magical” feeling that couples deserve on their special day, whether for 50 or 500 guests.

Growing up I was always a creative person, so it was not surprising that I would end up in this profession. I do all types of events including fundraising galas, bar and bat mitzvahs, birthdays, anniversaries, retirements, debuts and weddings. I can be a one-stop-shop by offering linens, chair covers, backdrops, ceiling swagging, centrepieces, crystals, flowers, LED wall washing, Chiavari chairs, dishes, stemware, tents, dance floors and so much more.

Weddings are one of my favourite events to decorate. I have decorated every event venue in Winnipeg and surrounding areas, including barns and tents. I have a showroom on Grant Avenue which has hundreds of choices for linens, chair covers, centrepieces, lighting, and accessories to help create an amazing room that couples will want to share with their guests.

I enjoy the process of meeting with a potential couple in my showroom. I love the glow on their faces and the sparkle in their eyes as they share inspiration and images with me of what they see as their perfect wedding. This tells me what type of couple they are. As a decorator, you need to design around the couple’s vision and taste. I do not cookie-cut a wedding design. I look at the couple, share ideas, and then create an image of what their special, unique day will look like. When couples come to my showroom, many are overwhelmed with how to pull together colours, textures, and accessories to create a beautiful space. My job is to help them choose all that reflects who they are. Sharing ideas with the client by setting up a table with different linen styles and colours, centrepieces, and accessories, I always watch their expression when I choose a combination of items, ready to switch if need be. The expressions on their faces says it all and helps me make the right choices for them.

Remember, your wedding day is one of the most important moments in your life and you will want it to be an elegant, beautiful, and memorable affair. Whether you have a huge budget or not, do it right by choosing a decorator who is creative, flexible, and understands your taste and needs. I pride myself on taking away all the stress that comes with putting together your reception and giving you an unbelievable magical room that you, your friends, and family deserve and will enjoy.
