Your chosen venue may or may not have tables and chairs for the dinner. If they don’t, as said above, this will be up to you. You options include a few long tables with vases of flowers neatly placed along the rows, or many small tables with a vase of flowers and decorations at the center of each.
Personalization is the trend in modern weddings. While some couples may feel that a sophisticated, traditional wedding reception is right for them, others may opt to decorate a little more casually.
Traditional reception decoration includes flowers, lit candles, white table cloths, and a 3-tier white cake. The formal dinner will have name cards and place cards for guests, instructing them where to sit. Traditional candles, flowers, and archways will adorn the traditional reception.
A less formal reception allows for some creativity. Helium balloons, unusual candles, and even ice sculptures can represent the true personality of the newly wed couple. A creative cake will also help lighten the mood. Nobody says the cake needs to be a 3-tier white cake. Do you like the ocean? Have your caterer design a cake that represents a pool of water with dolphins and starfish circling the rim. The choices are endless.
