Wedding Reception Decoration: The Latest Trends
By far, the most common search term used to find us is ‘wedding reception decorations’ so we try and provide as much information on this topic as possible. Many brides are just looking for new ideas- ways to make their wedding reception unforgettable.
Here are some of the latest trends in wedding reception table decoration:
Bold use of color: While in times past bridal bouqets, head table and wedding reception decor had often made use of soft pastels, today’s brides are making bold statements with color. There are many ways to add a punch of color to your wedding reception décor. Try incorporating colorful flowers such as red roses, or using jewel-toned table accessories such as tablecloths or napkins.
Themes: Often, wedding receptions have just been made ‘pretty,’ with the use of flowers and candles, for instance, whereas the latest trend is to have a theme for a reception. You can use almost any idea as a theme for your wedding reception decor, from cultural backgrounds (eg. Chinese) to whimsical (butterflies, mirrors, medieval, gold or silver, harlequin, winter wonderland). Also see out THEMES page for more ideas.
Extremes: Instead of opting for traditional wedding reception decor, many brides are going in one of two directions: either creating very rich detail (think embroidery, beading and sequins, layered rich fabrics, feathers, candelabras, lighting effects, etc.) OR keeping it modern, elegant and extremely simple (single flower centerpieces, stark and modern color schemes such as silver and black or white). This allows a bride to express her taste and style in unique and memorable ways.
