Wedding Receptions: Decor for Your Day

When it comes to wedding receptions most couples are not sure where to begin. The first step is finding a suitable location for you and your guests.

While you might want a grand affair on a mountain top, if grandma is in a wheelchair it might not work for her. Keep your guests need in mind as you plan.

The basic elements for planning your wedding reception and reception decorations will be determined by the location you select. You don''t want top heavy centerpieces that can topple in the wind for an outdoor reception.
Planning the reception decorations is all a part of the details of planning the wedding reception. Wedding receptions have six basic elements in their planning:
Location
Physical Comforts (Stairs, restrooms, parking)
Reception decorations
Catering
Music
Dancing

These elements are often determined by your reception location. A stunning landscape may call for less decorating. However, a dance floor on uneven ground can pose a hazard.

There are many ways to take care of your decorations including rentals. Renting some of the accessories can save you money. The ambiance of your reception decorations includes your:
Lighting
Place settings
Drapes
Flowers
The lighting choices can be as simple as twinkle lights and votive candles or complete lighting design that change the look for the room throughout the night.
Your place settings can be simple or elaborate. The drapes can be made of tulle, gossamer or silk. Your flowers can match those at the wedding or be individual to the reception itself.

There are so many options that you can explore with your reception decorations that the list is endless. Decide on a venue, decide on a theme and then let that help you choose the overall look.
