Decorating for your wedding gives you a chance to express you personal style. Brides are always thinking of new and interesting ideas for their wedding décor. The sky is the limit when it comes to wedding decoration. Your décor has the ability turn a plain reception hall into a romantic dinner scene, or transform a backyard into a beautiful ceremony garden.

Flowers are the standard for wedding decorations. Your florist bill can end up being one of the largest payments you make for during your wedding planning. Any good florist can change a venue into an Eden without limits on your cash, but it’s a great florist that can make that transformation on a budget. Shop around for a florist. Ask friends and family for recommendations.

Don’t skimp on flowers. Instead, be up front with your florist about your budget. He or she may have some great ideas to substitute inexpensive design. Try using flowers that are in season; you will find savings with seasonal blooms. The use of greenery can help cover more ground. Try mixing in more accents with leaves to minimize cost. Many weddings have floral arrangements for the dinner table centerpieces. Careful, floral decoration costs can sneak up on you. Choose a modest $25 dollar arrangement choice and multiply that by 10 guest tables… It all adds up.

Decorating the tables at a wedding can be a hassle unless the whole thing has been planned well in advance. The reason is that guests are going to come and sit at these tables and converse with each other. Therefore, it is the duty of the decorator to set the appropriate ambience for the wedding to take place.

The Cover Cloth

The first thing that one should take care of while decorating wedding tables is the cloth that covers it. You may stick to the traditional white and ivory colors. However, if you are open to experimentation you may use pastel shades such as pink, green and mauve. Sometimes more than one color is also used. This means that more than one table cloth might be required to set the table. Make sure that the cloths are taped to each other so that they don

Your wedding reception is a true party celebrating the marriage that just took place. And decorating the party room is a true expression of who you are and how you want your guests to feel. It is an amazing feeling when you see how you have helped transform the space.

Seating arrangements at a reception are arduous, but so essential. To let your guests know where they are to sit, the most simple, classic way is to have a calligrapher write out the guests’ name and table number on a small tent card.

Depending on if you have a theme to your wedding, rather than basic table numbers you can highlight your theme. For example, if you are a having a purple themed wedding, rather than tables one and two, you may name them lavender and violet. For a black and white themed wedding, you may choose black and white animals or your favorite black and white movies and name the tables accordingly. If you and your new groom have special interests and hobbies you like to do together or places that you have visited name your tables after them and have a picture of the two of you at the specific tables.

There isn’t a wedding album out there that doesn’t feature the bride and groom cutting into their wedding cake. In fact, the entire wedding stops so that all the guests can watch the time honored tradition of cake cutting. If it is enough to stop guests from dancing and talking, then it should be treated with some lavish decorations.

Before the cake cutting begins, the wedding cake is usually displayed, on a table of its own, for all the guests to oh and ah over. Let your guests oh and ah not only over the frosted, fruit filled layer cake, but the way the table is decorated as well.

Wedding cakes are not all tall tiered masterpieces anymore. You can have your wedding cake made in any shape and any size. You can even have cupcakes. With this in mind, if you have a small box cake, you want to choose a table accordingly. If your cake is smaller in size, don’t set it on a table that will overwhelm it, you want to highlight the confection.

It used to be that the entire bridal party sat together at the reception, but these days, most brides and grooms opt for a “sweetheart” table at their reception. There isn’t much time to sit, with dancing and spending time with your guests, but it is nice to have a place to take a quick break and have a moment within all the busy to just be with your new spouse.

This doesn’t mean that you can’t have a table devoted to highlighting your bridal party, which is always an option. You may also choose to just have a table for you, your spouse, maid/matron of honor and best man. Always remember, it is your day, and you may design it however you want. Whatever you decide, this is a special table and should be treated as such. You could decide to have special floral arrangements created for this table or a colored table linen that complements your bridal party colors. Include wedding pictures of your parents’ and grandparents’ at their head table to create a really special, personal affect.

Some reception sites may have special chairs that can be used at this table to draw everyone’s attention. Most places would be happy to accommodate your bringing your own special seating if you have it. If the seating at your location is the same, talk to your florist about doing something special to the seating, perhaps with floral vines or fabric to make them stand out. If you have chosen to include columns during your ceremony, this is a great opportunity to reuse them to frame out the new bride and groom.
