Fabulous Wedding Receptions

Wedding decor is a huge part of any wedding planning, from the cake topper to the confetti, each detail needs to be carefully considered and organised. Your choices of all the little details will depend on many of the key choices you have already made about your big day, such as where you are getting married, your choice of reception venue, your colour scheme and your wedding theme. In turn these choices will dictate the ‘feel’ of your wedding day. If you are a traditional bride you may choose to be married at Church and then follow this will a formal wedding breakfast and evening reception. If you are a modern bride, you may wish to have a civil ceremony in one of the thousands of venues across the country that are licensed to hold marriages these days. You may also choose to have an informal reception without the wedding breakfast formalities also.

These key choices will demonstrate how you want your day to look and feel. Once these decisions are made, it’s down to the real detail of the day. Many brides can overlook the importance of wedding decoration and accessories in the scheme of the big day. This is a huge mistake, as it is often the finer details and finishing touches that can really add the WOW factor for your wedding guests. Let’s face it, there’s no such thing as a cheap wedding these days – not unless you elope as a couple! When you spend a lot of money on your outfits, venues and catering, why scrimp or miss out on the smaller details that have minimal cost compared to the larger spends, but can make your day totally unique and stand out from the crowd!

By adding some smaller details to your wedding reception tables, for example, you can really have a huge impact on your wedding guests. Why not try some fun table trivia and table entertainment? This is great for breaking the ice, and getting everyone chatting and enjoying themselves. Also wedding party poppers and wedding sparklers can be a great way to impress. They will inject some fun into your tables, whilst adding to the overall look of the table decor too.

Other special finishing touches you should look to include are; scattering gorgeous table confetti, or sparkling table gems across your wedding tables. No table decor is really complete without this as a final flourish. Table gems in particular give tables a polished feel that looks stylish and expensive – all for just a few pounds!

Another key part of your reception is your wedding cake. Whether this is large or small, a divine chocolate creation, or a rich fruit tower, every type of wedding cake needs an extra special cake topper. Long gone are the days when little plastic figurines of the bride and groom are the norm for the finishing touch to the cake. These days there are a whole host of exciting options available to match every colour scheme and theme imaginable. Additionally, you will need a stylish and co-ordinated cake knife and server for your wedding cake. Remember this will be one of the iconic photos of your day, so you want a special serving set that will look great in the pictures, and will also be a keepsake of the day, that can be used as a family heirloom in years to come!
