Styling the Wedding Reception
Today we will talk about the wedding reception's floral needs. I'm a firm believer that when dealing with the floral budget, put more towards the reception because your guests will be at that location for 4-6 hours verses your ceremony location for 1-2 hours.
For your reception decor, consider the following to enhance the space:
Small Cocktail table arrangements
Escort Card table arrangement
Head or Sweetheart table arrangements (but you can cut costs in this department by using the bridal bouquets as decor)
Guest Book table arrangement, if it's not placed on the escort card table
Guest table centerpieces, possibly varying in height and size to create dimension in the venue space
Wedding cake and table florals
Gift table floral
Buffet/Catering table arrangements
Floral buds for the Catering Trays
Bar arrangement
Restroom arrangements
One important note when selecting the guest table centerpieces, make sure to arrangement does not distort the guests conversation by being too large or by not using transparent vessels.
Until next time...WEDologize!
