What with so many themes, terms and locations to choose from with today's weddings, there are probably as many ways to decorate for the reception as there are weddings. However, there are some practical details that are relevant almost regardless of the finer points of your arrangement and it is one of those that I would like to briefly mention in this article.
More exactly, the very thing your guests will be sitting at during a large portion of the evening, the wedding reception tables.
For sure, something present at all receptions are the tables your guests will be sitting at. Selecting the right size of table and placing them in a way that will be easy to "navigate" for all those present is a critical part of the planning process. When it comes to table linens you should also keep in mind that the table / linen size ratio will help determine the overall look.
Having a tablecloth with a very long overhang may prove less than ideal as it easily gets tangled in the legs of those listed at the table. Particularly if a guest is sitting in a wheelchair this is something you need to pay attention to.
From a very simple approach to very intricate, there are suitable decoration for wedding reception tables of any style imaginable. Here are a couple of ideas, just to get your mind racing with options that will go nicely with the them you have selected.
Simple napkin rings
These can be easily made using ordinary toilet paper rolls, with fabric of a suitable color glued on. The paper rolls will ensure the right shape of the napkin rings and the fabric should be straightforward enough to pick out in a design that will complement the rest of your decor.
Using fruit
Fruits are a simple but wonderful way to enhance the look of your reception tables, in fact they make very attractive centerpieces.
The fruits should normally be picked in a color that matches the overall look of the occasion. Citrus fruits for example are a perfect match for shades of yellow, green and orange, while apples, grapes and pomegranates will accompany reds, purples and pinks perfectly.
Purchase the fruit only the day before the wedding so that it will not spoil. Place it in bowls at the center of each table, using tissue paper or greenery for added decoration. As an added bonus, if the fruit is not eaten, you can give the fruit as well as the bowls as presents for your guests.
The above was some rather simple aspects of decorating your wedding aspects. You need to keep in mind however, that getting the basics right is sometimes more important than overly focusing on stunning effects while forgetting about the essential elements of a great reception.
