Deciding how to decorate tables at your wedding reception can be
a daunting task.
Framed place card holders, heart shaped confetti to disposable
cameras, there are a multitude of wedding novelties available for
purchase to add that little something extra to your tables.
Having a beautiful wedding reception table setting doesn’t have to cost a fortune.
Here are some tips on how to compliment the big day without making
a big dent in your budget.
Table Linens
Most catering halls and restaurants provide standard white table
linen for complimentary use at the wedding reception. Receptions
requiring use of rented tables and chairs will also find that
white linen is a classic look that blends with every hue of the
wedding and comes with the most affordable price tag. Depending on
the size and quantity of tables, colored linen can quickly become
another unexpected expense.
However, if your budget permits,
colored fabrics can be provided by the caterer or rented from one
of their preferred vendors. When choosing colored wedding table
linen, make sure that the hues don’t drastically clash. The
objective should be to compliment not find an exact match. Silver
or gold sheer and white lace overlays are a few other classy
wedding decorating options.
Candles
Candles are a
natural romantic aesthetic; this is a perfect wedding decorating
technique that creates an ambiance of love. Couples sometimes opt
to incorporate candles into their ceremony, by lighting a unity
candle.
Many choose to give a candle as a wedding favor. Using
candles throughout the reception is a beautiful simple inexpensive
element of wedding decor that goes a long way. Tealight votives
can be placed throughout the cocktail hour.
Single tapered candles
or larger candelabras may be used on reception tables. Floating
candles offer a beautiful alternative to expensive floral
centerpieces; and the best part- they’re reusable!
Floating
candles are available in a large variety of shapes (ie. hearts,
stars, flowers, etc) and colors. Like table linen, candle colors
should compliment the overall wedding theme. Seasonal weddings
should look to the hues of their wedding month for inspiration.
Balloons
Balloons are often associated with childhood parties. However,
balloons are a welcomed addition to weddings too. In addition to
creating a decorative arch, balloons make tasteful table
decorations. Balloon topiaries offer the variety of color and
shape as flowers, without the cost. With some practice, this is a
project you can even do yourself.
Floral Centerpieces
Flowers make a big splash as
wedding
centerpieces. A floral arrangement adds natural color and
scent that softens the table’s mood. However, the cost of multiple
centerpieces can drain a budget.
Choosing one less expensive flower for all the bouquets may help
ease the centerpiece budget. Buying bulk flowers and creating the
floral arrangements yourself, will also save some money. However,
there are number of affordable flower alternatives (Also see
