Different Decorating Ideas

Here are some really cool decoratiing ideas we have seen at a few of our recent wedding receptions...........check them out you might like them!!

Sweets for My Sweet

A recent trend in table decoration is the candy buffet. Glass bowls of differing sizes are filled with a variety of sweets and then scattered randomly across the tables. Wooden scoops or dainty silver spoons are placed in each bowl so guests can help themselves throughout the night and little boxes or bags can be filled with confectionary and taken home by guests as a wedding keepsake.

Layer Upon Layer Upon Layer

This is something we saw at a recent wedding we did and it looked amazing.........you will need to talk with your decorator on this one..................Instead of going with the usual starched white tablecloths. Choose an assortment of fabrics– with beading, with embroidery and other raised detailing - and begin layering them for a richly textured, complex effect. Alternatively, choose one colour and source fabrics in varying shades of that colour to create a spectacular monochromatic and multi-dimensional effect.


Ivy League

Strung up around reception centres, wrapped around candelabras, bursting out of floral arrangements and spilling onto the table, ivy has become an extremely popular wedding decoration.

The Break Away Centrepiece

This is a really great idea, as DJ's we are always asked to organize the giving away of the table centrpiece. Here is a great idea, impress your guests with stunning floral centrepieces on the reception tables and then amaze them as the centrepieces are broken down and given to each of them as a bridal keepsake. Breakaway vases, smaller glass or silver, flower-filled vases, are gathered together in the centre of the reception tables to form one spectacular arrangement,
create magnificent breakaway centerpieces where imagination is your only limitation.

Got a great idea for a centrpiece, why not share it with us. Post your comment!!
