Stick With your Theme

The theme of your wedding can easily direct you to interesting and unique reception table decorations. Use the colors of your wedding theme reception for any table decorations.

Use Disposable Cameras

Adding further colour and dimension to your reception table, disposable cameras are a great way to ask your guests to share there moments throughout your reception with them. By placing them on the tables you’re asking them to take pictures for you. When you develop those pictures you’ll have loads to choose from for creating another wedding album. It’s a nice touch because it lets your wedding guests get really interactive and is a fantastic ice breaker.

Use Vases of Different Heights on One Table

Different heights of the objects making up your table centerpieces add interest. Most will only use one height with their decorations. Using different heights will give you a more professional look.

Edible Table Arrangements

Edible table arrangements are interactive, and double as refreshments. There are two very different types of edible wedding table decorations. These two types are fruit and candy.

Fruit arrangements are difficult because as the reception goes on, the appearance of the nicely cut fruit diminishes. If you want to look more into using fruit as your centrepiece there are many companies who specialise in this.

Sweets can be a great way to keep your guests happy while they’re waiting to be fed. Place the sweets in decorative bowls or wide vases.
