The wedding reception is one of the most hotly anticipated events of the wedding. After the vows and the “I do’s”, you want to make a good impression at the reception. This is where everyone is going to see you and your husband in your fabulous outfits, and it’s where everyone is going to get down and party the night away!

So, with that in mind, you want to make sure that your wedding stands out from the crowd. There are some fabulous finishing touches that you can apply to your wedding reception venue. What’s more, you don’t have to spend a fortune. There are some brilliant ways to add those finer, more personal touches to your wedding day, and your guests are sure to remember your big day for years to come. 

Ribbons

Ribbons are a gorgeous finishing touch to any wedding. Adding them to the backs of chairs is a novel way of making your wedding furniture come alive. After all, bows can be a little lacklustre. Why not add some small, simple bows and ribbons to the backs of chairs? Simple silk should do the trick. But, it spruces up an otherwise dull piece of furniture and ties in the finer details of your day.

Bringing the Outside In 

As many brides and grooms are choosing to get married outside, in tepees and markets, it may be worth bringing this key theme into the reception area. How about adding tree features? Wooden signs and bark pots look simply lovely in any reception hall. Large branch arrangements that double up as a seating plan are alternative and novel. You can even add droplets and jewels to the branches to make them come alive. For winter weddings, this can look perfect. The droplets are reminiscent to dew drops on the trees. How divine.

The Pom Pom Ceiling Affair

Pom poms are a great touch to any wedding. Plus, you can be as bold or as neutral as you like. Adding large pom poms in neutral tones can look incredibly cute. Just hang from the ceiling and let them cascade around the room.

Say it With Flowers

Flowers are a great way to liven up any wedding reception area. Simple jugs of wildflowers in the centre of the table can look darling. You need to remember to make sure that your floral centrepieces compliment your table favours. You can buy wedding favours from a number of vendors, each to suit your chosen theme.  Jam jars of flowers and preserves as table favours are definitely a different touch. If you’re having an afternoon tea themed wedding, this is a fantastic way to make sure that your wedding theme comes together.

Notes and Love Letters

Adding a note to each guest place is the perfect way to express your appreciation towards you guest. A small note that is wrapped up in a little bow and ribbon is a gorgeous, personal way to ensure that your guests feel truly appreciated on your special day. It’s sentimental but meaningful.
