Wedding receptions play a big role in your wedding. One of the first things that your guests will see at your wedding is your wedding reception table decorations. This may come as a surprise to some couples as table decorations may not be high on their priority list. But imagine this, when the guests arrive and are given their seats at your reception, the first things that they see are your wedding table decorations. Thus getting them in the right mood and setting the right ambiance will depend largely on your table decorations. Here are some great ideas for you.
One great and not to mention inexpensive way to dress up your table is by using fruit arrangements. Fruits come in many different shapes and colors, and also textures, thus they provide a great dimension to your table centerpieces. Another great idea with using fruits is that, they are not only beautiful to look at but can also be eaten by your guests, thus making them serve double duty while saving you costs. Fruits used are normally apples, oranges, pears, bananas, grapes and many other fruits which are in season. You can also use fruits if you have a color theme. Purple and green grapes create a stunning and luxurious effect draped over centerpieces. Or you could use oranges which are decorated with brown ribbons or accents to accentuate a fall wedding. How about a bowl of peaches for a peaches and cream themed wedding? The only thing limited is your creativity.
Another inexpensive yet stunning way to dress up your wedding table is by using candles. These come in different colors and sizes which can be suited to your wedding colors and themes. You have a lot of options, from long tapered candles to big blocks of scented candles. Placed in shallow dishes of colored water, floating candles make great centerpieces. Or place some onto mirrors and the candles can create a dazzling effect. These candles can provide a romantic ambiance while casting a warm glow.
Arrangements need not stop with fruits. You can utilize flowers as unique and lavish floral arrangements will certainly bring the oohs and ahhs from your guests. Think about the color of your reception and opt for complementary colors. There is nothing worse than spending money on flowers which then clashes with the colors of your wedding and totally spoil your reception. If you’re planning on having centerpieces, do not make them too large as they can hinder conversation between your guests, which can be very annoying. When it comes to flowers the choices are endless. You can pick unusual flowers in wild colors and add greenery which will balance it out. Or you can use ordinary flowers like daisies or even sunflowers and add some special flowers to them, like the birds of paradise. These will surely make your flower arrangements memorable.
If you plan on having a seasonal wedding, take that opportunity to incorporate the season into your wedding. Let’s say you’re having an autumn wedding. Then you can use pumpkins, squashes and gourds as your decorative items. Arrange them on tables or place them in huge baskets and add colored fall leaves as accents. Perfect! For a winter wedding, make use of the holly, mistletoes and pinecones that are available in abundance. You could add sparkle to the pinecones and arrange these on the tables. Use the holly as a wreath and hang the mistletoe everywhere. What could be more romantic than that? If you have a spring wedding, then make use of tulips and daffodils and show them off in baskets to signify the abundance of spring. As you can see, nature makes a great background for your weddings and provides you with the most wonderful things to highlight your wedding.
There is virtually no limit to what you can do to decorate your wedding reception tables. These decorations mentioned are neither too expensive nor too complicated. What you need is a lot of imagination and a creative mind. Take some time to think about them and you will surely find the most fantastic items to make your wedding reception table decorations unique and memorable.
