While
a large portion of the decoration will be the flowers
and floral arrangements, lighting, place settings,
drapes and table setting are also important to the
overall look and feel of your reception. Some of
the elements that will help you achieve that dream
look are discussed in our decoration guide below.
It should be noted that these elements can all be
used together.
Lighting
 |
|
Lighting
has the power to transform look and feel of
your reception almost as much as flowers.
Candles, overhead lighting, colored lighting,
projected images on walls and floors, can
be part of reception decor theme. You can
fill shallow bowls with water and place floating
candles in place of centerpeices on tables.
Arranged high and low pillar candles near
a mirror can provide a candelar effect. A
strategically placed burning pot can added
a spark of tradition to your traditional weddings.

Balloons

Balloons
bring an air of celebration to your occassion.
Since they come is so many colours, you have
an opportunity to experiment while capturing
the colours of the day. Ribbon streamers trailing
down can be added to the balloons for extra
effect. Balloon arch or aisle lined up with
balloon are becoming common these days. |
Drapes
and ribbons
 |
|
Drapes
are fast becoming the default for stage decorations.
They have the ability to add depth to any
hall if properly used. For extra effects,
you can wrap drapes around pillar or columns
if there are any in the reception grounds.
Consider using ribbon or bows for highlights
on your colourful decorations. Bows can be
tied on doorknobs. Chairs can be covered with
soft fabrics for an added strike. Ribbons
can be tied on glass stems. The opportunities
are endless. |
