Wedding Reception Decorations

Receptions are a part of the wedding where everyone can really cut loose and enjoy the festivities. Whether the couple wants a simple yet elegant affair or a wild and colorful spectacle, decorating a reception can set the tone of the party and bring it to life.


Time Frame

After the bride and groom take their walk down the aisle, it's time for the guests and newlyweds to celebrate the special day with a lavish reception that fits the wedding's overall ambiance.

Themed Wedding Receptions

It's important to match the reception to the wedding theme as closely as possible. If the couple wants an environmentally-themed wedding, plants and flowers can be used as decorations or centerpieces. Recycled materials can also be used as decorating tools.

Decorations on a Budget

For a budget-friendly approach, there's always extra materials around the house that can be used to make decorative bows and tabletop decorations. Sometimes buying decorations in bulk can get you a better deal.

Location

Having a wedding outdoors or indoors can determine how to decorate the reception. If the wedding and reception is going to be entirely outdoors, then finding some nice colorful lanterns or candles would make a nice addition to an evening reception.

Size Matters

Determining how to decorate a reception depends on the size of the reception area. If it's a smaller space, then minimal decorations are needed or else it would look too cluttered.

Plan the Time Wisely

Planning and decorating a reception don't require a lot of time, but it's important to manage your time wisely. Trying to decorate the venue in the last minute can cause too much stress, and there will be room for error.

Budget Tip

Saturday night is the most expensive time to hold your reception--and the hardest night to find everything you want available. To save money and frustration, consider a Friday or Sunday night, Saturday or Sunday afternoon or a week night.
