Wedding Reception Decorations – Guidelines To Follow

Exclusive summary about wedding reception decorations by Melinda Barton

Before you decide on your wedding reception decorations, you’re going to have to do some planning.

Does your wedding have a theme? Some popular themes are black & white, Valentine’s Day, garden party, country & western, beach and medieval.

Keep in mind that while table decorations and favors seem inexpensive, the totals add up quickly when you have a large number of guests.

A country club wedding will be decorated much differently than a beach side barbecue.

Many brides find floral catalogs inspiring or you might want to browse through wedding magazines and take note of the color combinations that catch your eye.

Here’s an example of how one bride decorated for her informal Valentine’s Day wedding. The reception was held in a large Victorian home. The dining area was decorated with bouquets of red heart-shaped mylar balloons with alternating red and white ribbons. The balloons were held in place with a weighted base covered in metallic red tissue paper.

A friend of mine helped a bride put together her very low budget wedding reception in a small Mexican restaurant. They started with white and peach paper tablecloths to cover the tables. The idea was for the guests to use the camera to take candid shots and then leave the camera on the table at the end of the evening. Plan it out in advance and your wedding reception decorations will be fantastic!

Choosing the right decorations for your wedding reception that you are planning makes a big difference in the impression of the participants and guest. Many people decide to go with the traditional candles and flowers while others opt for wedding receptions decorations that step outside of the box that we like to call the normal. In the past wedding planners have visited a local party or wedding supply establishment, but in the Internet age there are many places to find beautiful and unusual reception decorations. Let’s start with the traditional form of wedding receptions decorations with candles and flowers.

Candles are another traditional form of wedding receptions decorations, and add a intimate and more romantic feeling to the reception, lighting can turn an ordinary room into a romantic setting. Group some votive candles together and wrap them in lace for elegant table decorations.

Some people choose to go with the unusual or the thinking outside of the box path in deciding what kind of wedding receptions decorations to choose. Right as the bide and groom give the wedding kiss or say the "I do's" a beautiful assortment of butterflies are released to create moments that will be remembered as your dreams take flight.

Another way to create a creative memorable reception especially if your event is being held at night is with well placed colored lights. Ice sculptures are always a big hit and give the reception a special ambience that demands attention. Food pyramids with cylindrical vases with fruits and vegetables reflecting the colors of your event.
