wedding punch ideas

If you're planning your wedding, then you probably have more important things to think about than wedding reception decorating ideas. However, a reception without any decoration would be a dull affair so here are some wedding decoration ideas and things that you need to consider:

Style: What style is your wedding going to be and where will it be held? You can have a wedding just about anywhere nowadays so you might want to tie the theme of the decorations in with the setting. If your reception will be held on a boat, maybe a nautical theme would be suitable with a silver and blue colour scheme.

Mood: What mood do you want to create? If you want a traditional mood then table decorations matching the bridal bouquet with a scattering of silver horseshoes would be suitable. Do you want something a bit more modern? How about silver balloons tied to each chair for the guests to take home and a scattering of crystal diamond confetti on the tables. For romance, silk swags on the chairs and scattered rose petals (either real or silk) with lots of candles will create the perfect atmosphere.

These are just a few wedding decoration ideas but there are lots of other ways to decorate tables. Pretty bowls or individually wrapped chocolates, mints or sweets always go down well with the guests. Heart shaped place card holders add to the romance or to combine decoration with a gift for your guests how about a photo frame place holder with a picture of the happy couple.

If you have a particular love in life like golf, sailing, cats or Disney then the world is your oyster. Use soft toys or figurines and fill baskets or hats with themed items. Make table decorations with pebbles or sea shells for a seaside theme.

If you need to do your wedding decorations on a budget then make tissue paper flowers and cut or stamp out silver card for table confetti. An ordinary office hole punch or a card making punch will do the job for you easily. Print place cards on your computer or write them neatly with a silver pen. Use paper napkins to match your theme.

For an outdoor wedding, a garden theme is ideal for wedding decorations on a budget. Use ivy or ferns to surround little vases of wild flowers or cover plastic flower pots in silver paper or foil, fill with pebbles and insert a single bloom.
