Unique Reception Decor
Friday, November 6th, 2009Sure, there are plenty of ideas for hosting the most unique wedding day ever. Ideas can range from saying “I Do” while flying miles above ground in a hot air balloon to saying “I Do” while dodging colorful shoals of fish underwater. Of course you could always book a chartered flight for family and friends and fly half way across the world to pledge eternal love at that most famous symbol of eternal love; the Taj Mahal. While these are certainly unique and exciting ideas, the sheer logistics of organizing the wedding would be completely overwhelming, unless you were a Donald Trump or a Tom Cruise.
That does not mean however that you have to give up your dream completely. With unique reception décor, you can still have a wedding that’s truly one of a kind even if you have a more grounded reception. Be sure to start making your plans months in advance so that you are not completely tied up in knots as your wedding day draws nigh.
Unique Winter Wedding Reception Décor
If you are planning on getting married in winter, deviate from the normal Christmas themed wedding décor and do something radically different. How about snowflakes?
Snowflakes make the perfect theme for a frosty winter wedding. For a great introduction to your wedding, you could start off with elegant, snowflake-shaped wedding invitations.
For the venue décor, get table linen and chair covers with snowflake patterns embossed or embroidered all over. Including small crystal snowflakes to your flower centrepieces and vases with etched snowflakes or snowflake confetti sprinkled around the centrepieces would tie the wedding decor elements together perfectly. And for that perfect ending, let your guests take home elegant crystal or china snowflake ornaments as a keepsake of your momentous occasion.
Unique Dual Color Wedding Reception Décor
Dual color weddings are hot and happening right now. Not meant for traditionalists at heart, dual colors infuse the wedding atmosphere with an oomph and pizzazz hitherto unseen in more conventional weddings.
A combination of pink and orange is trendy and modern. Choose pink as the main colour think pink chair cover, pink table linen and bouquets of pink flowers. Then break the monotony of the pink with splashes of orange as in orange sashes for the chairs, orange table runners and a few orange rose buds carefully mixed in with the pink bouquet. Orange candles wrapped in pink gauze make perfect table décor items and can be used as wedding favors at the end of the reception.
A perfect blend of fire and ice, aqua and red is another excellent color combination for a unique wedding décor for winter as well as summer weddings. Other popular combinations are slate and lime; pink and brown or citrus and lime green.
For a wedding reception idea that is truly unique, break away from tradition and give free reign to your creative instincts. Going with your personality rather than traditional diktats will ensure that your wedding reception is truly like no other.
