Wedding Party Decoraion Ideas

Weddings are a time of magic and romance...an event that will create memories that last a lifetime for both the bride and groom, and for their loved ones who celebrate their special day with them. The decorations used at the wedding and the reception will set the mood for the event. Lighting of all kinds will lend warmth, ambiance, and romance to your wedding decor and create an event that will evoke sweet memories for years to come.

 Decorative candles of various colors and shapes would give a sophisticated look to the wedding reception hall, yet retain the romantic feel of the place. Make use of small Martini bowls, with floating candles in them. For the tables, you may place candles in decorative candleholders and use them as centerpieces. A canopy of mini lights strung across the ceiling, dance floor, or outdoor area makes for an enchanting place to dance, eat, or enjoy the festivities. Curtain lights on white wire create the perfect backdrop on a wall or curtain behind the wedding party table at the reception. Suspend curtain lights from the ceiling to create a canopy of lights over the dance floor or the entire reception area and you'll instantly fill the room with romance.

Some ideas to decorate your table:

# Decoration of tables is as important as other things in the wedding reception hall. Consider adding an attractive centerpiece, made of flower or fruits. Arrange the dishes, silverware and flatware neatly. Consider placing candles on the table. Make sure that you do not overcrowd the tables with decorations. Consider the number of guests expected for the occasion, while choosing the number of tables and chairs.

# Be sure to choose elegant table covers for the reception hall. You may go for an elegant floor-length under-tablecloth and top it up with a colorful, sheer, or lace over-cloth.

# Use seasonal floral decorations, which perfectly fit the climatic conditions of the place as well as its overall décor. For spring wedding reception, you can make use of tulips, roses, lilies, gerberas and daisies. In case the reception is held during winters, opt for flowers such as winter jasmine, honeysuckle, etc. White calla lilies, hydrangea and snowball mums would be a perfect fit for summer wedding reception.

Do you have columns in the reception hall? Incorporate them, (ok, hide them!), into your decor by twisting white rope lights around them to create a festive atmosphere. If you're using a light colored chiffon or tulle, consider stringing the lights inside of the fabric to create a different, softer look once the lights go down. White mini lights, chiffon, and green ivy are a stunning accent for almost any wedding decor.
