Wedding Reception Centerpieces - Inspirations

So, consider some of these helpful tips to when getting ready to choose your wedding reception centerpieces and decorations.

Tips for your Table Centerpieces:

1. Flowers really make your wedding day special, but don’t forget to add other natural elements to your wedding reception centerpieces. Consider using branches, bamboo, long grasses, pinecones, or whatever is indigenous to your local area.

2. Place special waterproof lights at the bottoms of your glass vases to create a romantic and interesting look. The lights are activated when they are touched by water.

3. Instead of a large flower arrangement, place bowls filled with colored water or crystals and put floating candles on top for a different kind of look.

4. Create miniature wedding reception centerpieces at each place setting around the table and attach your place cards in or on them.

5. Rather than using flowers, put together an arrangement of balloons and towards the end of the reception have each table go outside for a balloon launch in celebration of your union.

The placement of guests at your wedding reception is important to the overall success of your wedding dinner and dance. It may seem like a minor detail when you have a million and one other important wedding issues to consider, but if you seat the wrong people together, or make your guests feel uncomfortable, you will regret it.

Place card holders, especially fancy ones, are a really nice addition to your reception tables and they serve a very important purpose – they tell your wedding guests where to sit for dinner. Don’t assume for a moment, that everyone will know where to sit, or that all of your guests will be at ease sitting at a table full of strangers. However, if you ‘put’ them together, you are giving them a valid reason to sit at that table – their name is on the place card. It also helps to move things along. If you leave 200 guests to fend for themselves, it could take hours before everyone is seated.

Place card holders can be purchased to match your wedding theme as well starfish or shell holders for a beach theme, silver fortune cookies for an Asian theme, snowflakes for a winter theme – you get the idea!

The other hidden benefit of place card holders is that if you purchase nice ones, you can let your guests take them home when the affair is over, and thus you have just killed two birds with one stone since the place card holders can easily double as wedding guest favors. What a great way to stretch a wedding budget and still offer your esteemed wedding guests a nice thank you gift.
