3 Super Simple & Beautiful Ideas For Your Wedding Reception Tent Decorations

If you're planning an outdoor wedding, your wedding reception tent decorations are going to play a big part in your budget. Not only is a tent essential from a practical perspective, BUT, it also adds to the ambiance and mood of your big day. From cheap paper lanterns to decadent chandeliers there's an idea here for all brides and budgets.

1} Paper Lanterns

Paper lanterns are hugely popular for outdoor weddings. And when it comes to wedding tent decorations they can be as elaborate or as simple as you want. Depending on everything else you use to decorate they can either look really charming and DIY or super upscale and magical.

While the images below include TONS of paper lanterns, even just a few lanterns placed strategically would do the trick.

2} Chandeliers

While most people think of paper lanterns first, tent chandeleirs are also interesting tent decorations. AND, since you can get away with less of them, they could actually be cheaper than a bunch of paper lanterns.

Like with paper lanterns, there are a ton of different options for Chandeleirs. If you get your tent chandeleirs from a place like Koyal Wholesale you can get something that is ultra modern or something romantic and dangling with crystals.

3} Flickering Fairy Lights

No wedding tent is complete without string lights (aka. fairy lights or christmas lights). You can purchase your string lights from Koyal Wholesale, but if your tent is small enough you might even be able to get away with Christmas lights you have hidden away in the basement. Otherwise, cross your fingers and hope that your tent supplier includes this with their rental fee.

Tips for Saving on Your Wedding Tent Decorations

If every penny counts here are a few things you should figure out before making your final decision on your wedding reception tent decorations.

• When you're considering outdoor wedding locations find out if a tent is included in the venue rental fee AND what wedding tent decorations are included.
• If you're renting a tent separately try to find out if they will include lights, lanterns and/or chandeliers in the fee.
• If the person you are renting the tent from doesn't include these items then they might have relationships with those suppliers. These will usually be the best deals - unless of course you go wholesale

And don't forget - what might seem cheapest upon first view may actually be more expensive. So once you've gotten all of those figures from several suppliers, compare all of the totals to find out which is cheapest and offers the best values. Only then should you decide on your wedding reception tent decorations.
