Couples are becoming ever more creative with their wedding decorations in order to create a wedding reception design that is personal, unique and memorable. Before you decide on the type of decorations you would like, you will need to determine a theme or colour scheme for your wedding.
Whether you have a garden wedding, a winter wonderland theme, a vintage style reception, or a pink polka scheme, there are bound to be decorations available to complement your choice.
The extent of your wedding decorations will depend largely on what you can afford. If you are on a tight budget, it might be wise to stick to one type of decoration, such as table centrepieces, and make sure these create an impact, rather than spending money on lots of smaller decorations that might get lost in your venue.
The style of your wedding venue will also influence your decorations. If you are hiring an elaborately decorated room, you should keep your decorations simple, but if you are using a church building or function room, you can afford to go overboard on the decorations.
Here are some of the elements of your wedding to incorporate into your decorative scheme:
1. Wedding flowers
2. Table centrepieces
3. Wedding cake
4. Table linen including napkins and rings
5. Chair covers and sashes
6. Place names and table plans
You can tie all these elements together by using a consistent colour scheme or material. A simple way to create a unified look is to use the same ribbon in all of these elements, as well as using it in the bridesmaids’ outfits and the bride’s bouquet.
Beads and jewels such as crystals are becoming popular for wedding decorations, and these can also be added to table linen, place names and centrepieces.
