When it comes to decorating the venue for a wedding reception, you can never go wrong with flowers. Of course, you cannot simply place flowers anywhere way; you need to be creative. For wedding reception ideas, here are 5 ways to use flowers.
1. Bridal bouquet should be the highlight
Among all the flowers in the wedding reception, the bridal bouquet should still be the highlight. It should be more elaborate than other flowers in the venue and those of the bridesmaids so that it will stand out. Keep in mind that this is the day of the bride. The attention should be on her. That’s why her bouquet should help bring that attention.
2. Pair flowers with candles
If you are looking for a great centrepiece then you should pair flowers with candles. This is a classic setup that never goes out of style. You can place large tall flowers in a vase together with large candles if you want a minimalist design. Or you can be more elaborate by using a combination of flowers and candles. Of course, the type of flower should depend on the venue and the theme of the wedding.
3. Scatter petals on the tables
If you want the wedding venue to look romantic then what you can do is to scatter flower petals on the tables. If it is a formal affair then it would be best to use rose petals. If it is a more casual wedding, then you can use flowers in different colours. If you want something that would work on any theme then you can use petals of white roses.
4. Don’t forget the stage
Don’t forget to decorate the stage. Keep in mind that most parts of the reception, people’s attention would be on the stage because that is where the action will be. A simple decoration will do. You can use flower petals together with ribbons as accents on the stage.
5. Beach or Hawaiian themed weddings
If you are having a beach or Hawaiian themed wedding then you can use hibiscus or plumeria. These types of flowers would be perfect for your outdoor wedding.
