From The Reception Entrance To The Special Touches: Ways To Make Your Wedding Reception Decoration Memorable!
One of the maxims that wedding decorators live by in creating that perfect mood while planning a wedding is that it’s all about the special touches. The same thing holds true when it comes to the wedding reception decoration. Whether you have planned on getting a wedding coordinator or not – the engaged couple still has a big say on the ‘look’ that they would like to create for the reception hall. Generally, however, your goal should be to make your wedding reception decoration memorable for you as a couple, as well as to your family members, friends and guests. So why not go all out in decorating the after-wedding-ceremony venue?
Top Tips on Making Your Wedding Reception Decoration Memorable
The first thing that you need to consider when thinking of the décor for your wedding reception is exactly where it will be held. Today, wedding receptions are held almost anywhere – from boats to mansions, gardens, restaurants, decorated lawns or backyards to churches. Make sure that the wedding reception decoration will be festive. But if the reception hall already looks that way, you just need to add a few more touches to make the venue coincide with the theme of your wedding.
Here are a few more tips to make your wedding reception decoration even more memorable:
- It all starts at the entrance to the reception: Just like at the entrance to the wedding ceremony, you can also place a small table where the guests can sign their name on their way to the reception. One great idea is to place an engagement picture the couple in a large frame, and the guests can sign on the blank space instead of the typical guest book. Remember that you can use the same decorations from the wedding ceremony to the reception. If there is a huge balloon arrangement placed at the entrance of the church, for example, you can use the very same décor at the entrance of the reception.
- Flower petals add a touch of elegance to the floors: Can you believe that even the floors of the reception hall can be decorated? You can probably ask the florist to scatter excess rose petals in front of the table where the bride and groom will be seated. The same thing can be done on the path where the guests will walk on their way to the reception.
- Add a special touch by decorating the ceiling of the reception hall: Another part of the wedding reception decoration which are such fun to make are the ceiling decors. Hanging topiaries, paper snowflakes, a swag of white fabric or balloon arches can be used to add a touch of drama to the ceiling of the reception hall.
- If there are any trees or bushes on the wedding reception venue, add a string of white lights to make the atmosphere even more romantic: This is especially useful if you are having a garden ceremony, with the after-wedding party lasting well into the night. Those lit up trees and branches will add a dreamy like romance to your wedding reception decoration.
- Make the wedding tables where the guests are seated stand out: Can you imagine a wedding reception filled with lovely set tables, with hundreds of tiny tea light candles adding warmth to the atmosphere? Remember that setting the proper mood to create the look that you want for your wedding does not need to be expensive – but it’s the little details like these which count.
Just let your imagination run wild and you can surely come up with a bunch of other ways to make your wedding reception decoration stand out on your big day!
