Latest Venue Decoration Trends

Vary Your Centre Pieces

You can very easily add interest to the overall look of your wedding reception venue by varying your centre pieces. This can be done by varying the colours of your displays - but stick with the same hues or by varying the height and design of the display (I would then stick with the same colours). It gives you a less uniformed look but retains the co-ordination and design.

Coloured Table Linen

Sometimes we are a little afraid of colour but there are ways of injecting colour into your venue to suit the bold and the less so! If you are bold and it suits your personalities why not go the whole hog and use coloured table linen. There are an array of colours available and you can go for the matt look of poly cotton or something with a bit of a shine.

If that is just a step too far, then you may want to consider using coloured table runners. You can use one table runner across each table, either all the same colour or alternate your tables using 2 colours. Or use 2 x table runners per table, one of each colour. This really can look wonderful.

Coloured Glassware

Coloured glassware looks stunning - though not necessarily a budget option there are companies out there who hire out coloured wine glasses if your venue is unable to accommodate this request. Generally speaking venues cater for the masses so they usually can only provide clear glass but it is worth asking them though they will undoubtedly charge extra for the service.

Candy Bars

These are popping up all over now. Just make sure you keep an eye on any little ones because you can bet your last pound that if you can't find them, they will be at the candy bar! Some couples are even putting the candy bar on the tables themselves as part of the table decoration. Take this example here by Red Floral Architecture - could you stop yourself from nibbling? I couldn't!

Crystals

Crystals are becoming more and more popular - they give a feeling of luxury and opulence and reflect the light so beautifully and with subtlety. I am a huge personal fan of crystals and candlight - put the two together and I am in heaven!

Personally I think crystals are set to become even bigger and more prominent at all ends of the wedding market - watch this space.

And that's it from me for now - if you can think of anything you would like to add - why not comment - I'd love to hear them!

Happy Planning!

Diamonds are a girl's best friend! So put some on your table!

I love these diamond cut tealight holders. They are multi-faceted so when the candle flickers the light reflects off all the different cut surfaces creating a really pretty atmosphere.

Decorate your guests tables with 3 or 5 of these (remember to be candle safe) and you will create a really romantic dreamy atmosphere in your venue.

Available to buy for £3.25 + p&p each or why not hire them from Mrs2Be Hire for just £1.95 each (with candle) + delivery/collection. Contact me for more information and to check availability.

Have Your Cake & Eat It!

This is a great way to save money without compromising on quality or design by combining your wedding cake with your wedding favours and your table place settings all at the same time!

There are some beautiful individual wedding cakes available which come boxed and decorated such as the one seen here by Flissy Cakes of Altrincham. Firstly speak to your cake supplier about your colour scheme and theme etc. Flissy Cakes will 'computer colour match' your cake colour so that it matches your wedding colour scheme perfectly. Then ask them to supply the individual cakes boxed and decorated. Add a label or tag with the name of each guest on and place the cake on your tables.

Not only will they taste gorgeous but they will look beautiful and fulfil a role! Only problem is - they look too good to eat!

Happy Planning
