Wedding Reception Decorations Knowledge Base
Wedding reception decorations? I am looking for people who are selling their used wedding decorations? My colors are white, pink, and magenta. I am looking for Maine/ocean themed stuff as well as white lights and those rice paper globes. Anyone have any suggestions?
What are the BEST BOOKS, MAGAZINES and WEBSITES that would show me WEDDING and RECEPTION DECORATIONS/ IDEAS? I already know about theknot.com and weddingchannel.com (searched them over again and again -- The Knot has some great stuff with Real Weddings that has helped me out) and I have been looking at Brides, Elegant Brides, Modern Bride, etc. They all seem to focus more on the dresses and rings and not on decorations or reception ideas. We are having an outdoor summertime evening wedding next year and we want it to be in between formal and informal. I was thinking of a country (but not gingham check tablecloths and sunflowers) and sunset theme (idea from a YahooAnswers buddy...Thanks Miss D!!). Do you know of any books, magazines, websites that would for sure have ideas for what I am talking about or anything you think might have some ideas? If so, I would greatly appreciate any help! Thanks! :)

Need creative ideas for wedding reception decorations? My brother is getting married in June. His fiance and her mother have asked me to help with the wedding reception.

Thanks in advance for your ideas. I really need them!

Wedding reception decorations... balloons and flowers/ or just flowers? I am trying to organise the decoration of my reception hall, we are having 7 tables and a top table, on each table there will be a 'fish bowl' with white roses and black beads and ribbon, on top of a mirror with 4 tealight candles. On the top table there will be a long row of white roses with some sort of black detail and black pillar candles on each end. Do I need balloons in the room or will this be too much? Also the tables will be moved for the evening reception after the meal but the flowers will still be there, would be nice to have bunches of black and white balloons in the corners of the room/ dance floor maybe?

wedding reception decoration on a budget.? my aunts wedding is on less than a month. im the maid of honor and so far ive been put in charge of doing the brides hair, doing one of the brides maids hair, doing my own hair, doing the brides mother's hair, decorating a poster about the brides dad (becasue he died a while back), and decorating the reception hall. ive figured out what im going to do for the tables. im going to do white floating candles in glass bowls with fake green leaves around the bottoms of the bowls as centerpieces for all of the tables except the bride and grooms. with white table cloths on all of them except theirs, too. i might put green under theirs but im not sure. well, i dont have a lot of money to do the decorations with, and im running out of ideas. the place we rented is really bland and needs a lot of work done to it. what are some really CHEAP ways i can decorate the reception hall? other than just the tables? extra info: the wedding colors are sage green, white, and silver. and her dress is made to look kind of antique-ish. any help is appreciated. i know. but the other bridesmaids arent really that helpful. lol. one of the bridesmaids daughters is going to help with the decorations. and she is paying for it, but she hasnt given me an exact amount yet. just that everything needs to be cheap. im not PAYING for the stuff. she is. but she chose me to do her hair because im good at it, lol. and im cheaper. she's stressed enough as it is. everyone's been trying to help her out alot. and we're like best friends. the other bridemaid asked me to do her hair to, but the style she wants only takes a few minutes to do, and all im doing to mine is braiding it. its really not much to ask, considering all the other stuff we've been doing as a team. i just need help with how i should decorate.. thx for all the help so far. (:

I am planning a reception for my parents 30th wedding anniversary, where can I find decorations for it? I have searched and searched for places to purchase 30th wedding anniversay decorations, but I can only find things available in the UK. I do not want to use anything for birthdays because there's really no way to change them into looking more anniversary-like. If I cannot find many things with 30th on it, I would be happy to go along with solid "pearl" color since it represents 30. Right now, I am making them a scrapbook of their 30 years together, so I want everything to be perfect. Let me know any ideas, suggestions, etc that you may have. Thanks in advance!!!

I never even thought of it.

budget wedding reception decoration tips? Hi!! My friend is doing a wedding reception for his sister and her husband. He asked me for help about decorating the place. I gave him a few ideas but we still would like more ideas though. So far, we decided on food, music, and making our own centerpieces for the tables (round). But the hall is dark with no windows (it's in a church) and we want to decorate it like lighting, tulle, balloons, and maybe flowers (but prob not b/c of budget). We were wondering if anyone of u guys have some ideas abt how to decorate the room though since the color of wall is just this: http://www.tri-valley.k12.il.us/sjones/plywood.jpg We can't go beyond the limit of like $1000 and would like to cut down expenses whenever we can. And plz keep in mind, that we are the only ones doing the decoration not some wedding planners, etc. So guys, do you have any ideas about how to decorate this? Any other ideas/tips would help too ^_^ PS: we were thinking abt having red and either white/tan color for tables

Help give me reasons why Betta Fish would be impractical as table decorations at a Wedding Reception!? I'm helping to plan my daughter's wedding and her fiance, who is a marine biologist, would love to have blue-green bettas in bowls on each table as part of the decorations. However, we live in a small town, so I would have to have them shipped in, and then find homes for them, because my daugher and new husband live 3,000 miles away and couldn't take them, and I just don't have the time to take care of them - we're talking probably about 10 bettas! Any ideas, I told him I'd try to get just about anything they want for their special day (since most of the family/friends are here and they are having to travel and allow us to plan this long distance!). Thank you for any input!
