After thewedding is out of the way, it's time to party! The reception is where you can let loose and have a good time. Nevertheless, proper planning is necessary to ensure that reception decorations reflect the feel of the wedding, which of course should reflect your personal style. Here are some considerations when choosing wedding reception decorations.

  1. Set a budget. Your reception will likely be more expensive than the wedding, so make sure to set enough aside for it. Keep in mind the costs for food and entertainment while choosing decorations.

  2. Location is a huge consideration. Will the reception be indoor or outdoor? Plain reception halls may require some serious decorating, whereas charming lodges or outdoor locations may be naturally captivating and may not need detailed decorations.

  3. Season and time of wedding. If you are having a summer wedding, you obviously don't want winter-style decorations and vice versa. Time of day is also an important factor. Daytime weddings tend to be more casual, whereas evening weddings may be more elegant.

  4. Style. What is the style of the wedding and of the couple? Is it a small and casual wedding or a 500-guest, elaborate wedding with all the bells and whistles? Make sure the reception mirrors the feeling of the wedding.

  5. Colors. The wedding colors should be incorporated into the decorations to some degree. Some brides enjoy filling the whole event with purple pastel to match the bridesmaid dresses, for example, while others like to add splashes of alternate color in centerpiece bouquets. Any approach is acceptable as long as the colors of reception decorations are consistent and in harmony.
