Wedding Reception Decoration Ideas for Chair Covers

The chairs at your wedding can make as bold a statement as the flowers at your wedding. Decoration styles for your chair can include fit chair covers, looser and more flowing chair covers, satin ribbons, chiffon ribbons or classic white fold-up chairs. You can also choose to make a bold statement with your chair decorations, or to keep it more simple and have them blend in. There are also a ton of different styles of ribbons for decorating your chairs.

Centerpiece Decorations

Your wedding reception centerpiece decorations can be as creative or traditional as you like. Flowers are always a nice touch, but regardless of whether or not you're looking for affordable wedding decorations, don't be afraid to explore interesting elements like candles, rocks, water, fruit or elements of the season.

Favors as Reception Decorations

Just because your favors are being taken away later in the evening, doesn't mean that they can't be an integral part of your wedding reception decorations. These can make a bold and beautiful statement on your tables or at an entrance table.

Wedding Cake as Reception Decorations

Your wedding cake often takes center stage in your reception hall. So to look to it add to your wedding reception decoration ideas makes complete sense. Regardless of whether your going for a tiered cupcake display or tradition wedding cake, your wedding cake can always add to your theme.

 

Small Accessories for Wedding Reception Decoration Ideas

Rose petals are an easy way to add drama to your wedding decor, but other elements like seashells and rocks could provide a similar effect at your wedding reception.

Outdoor Weddings

If you're getting married outside your outdoor wedding decorations go a bit beyond the table settings, as you'll need to think about decorating your tent. Fabric goes a long way to softening the look of plastic tents, while chandeleirs, christmas lights or paper lanterns add interest. Think outside the box and get colored fabrics or lights in the shape of starts or flowers.

Wedding Math and Wedding Decor

Considering that 140 guests is the average wedding size, did you know you can spend $400 on table cloths alone?

"Perfect Weddings Without the Debt" advises on how to bring this superfluous cost down with wise theme and color choices, and focus it on those things you care more about (your dress...or pocketing the savings for your new, debt-free life).
