Table Decorations
At a typical reception, guests will be sat at their tables for a good few hours, and will have plenty of time to take in everything they see before them. With this in mind, it is important not to underestimate the impact that table decorations will in re-inforcing the theme and colour scheme for the day.
When considering the tables, there are a few areas that a couple chould think about decorating. They are:
-
The top table
-
The guests' tables
-
The chairs
For ideas on which items will work well when decorating tables, check out the articles entitled Floral Arrangements, Balloons & Decorations, Lights & Linen and Ice & Fire. But before you do, one word of warning. Whatever you opt for, try to make sure that you don’t clutter the tables. Where table decoarions are concerned, less is virtually always more, particularly for a sophisticated affair where minimalism is key. Bear this in mind and you can't go far wrong!
Outdoor Decorations
When considering outdoor decorations of any knid, the golden rule is that it is best to avoid anything which isn’t at least partly weather resistant. Exposed candles may look stunning, but when set inside a decorative vase for protection from the wind, they won't lose any of their appearance and should stay lit all night!
The sorts of places that outdoor decorationscould be located are:
-
The main doorway to the venue
-
Other doorways to the venue
-
The driveway leading to the venue
-
Any outdoor areas where your guests may congregate - a courtyard or balcony for example.
