Wedding Hall Decorations Ideas

Pick Up Patterned Pillows

For those who have a lounge area on your reception space (or created one with some leasing furniture), get yourself to a housewares section for a number of pillows. Find them available (IKEA-style) and then protect them with your favorite patterned fabric for a few low maintenance pops of festive color and pattern.

Hang Your Flowers

Think flowers are just for your tables? Think again. Suspending arrangements a few feet above your guests' dinner dishes is an enjoyable way to make a space that is more intimate. (This tip is especially handy if you're not so fond of your venue's carpeting--just keep people looking up!)

Make a Family Photo Wall

For an easy conversation starter, make a wall of family wedding photos. Devote a row into your partner's family or just mix them all up. Alternative thought: Showcase your (brand new!)) family tree.

Add Terrariums

Perhaps not a flower man? No need to splurge on a lot of centerpieces. A patch of a romantic terrarium moss, candles, a few blossoms and a succulent or two and you've got a totally rustic tablescape.

Reshape Your Own Table Numbers

Want something original for your desk tags? Consider number demonstration. Display your table names or numbers on vessels like pennant flags, lanterns topiaries or wine bottles.

Create an Escort Card Screen

Rather than having an escort card table, create a bulletin board of seating assignments and display it around the entrance of the reception space. Bonus: You will not have guests squinting at cards that are tented, attempting to decipher their table amount.

Utilize a Table Runner That Pops

Search for contemporary table décor inspiration, such as this patterned table runner. Rather than having several big floral centerpieces, space them out in smaller bud vases to span the duration of the runner (and then flaunt the routine). This colorful detail can make your china pop.

Hang Tapestries

If it is too difficult to bring in large installments to decorate your area but you desire to add a little flavor to the walls (or cover up some less than ideal wallpaper), then look to tapestries. They're easy to transport and need setup.

Use Table Lamps

Produce height in your reception tables using table lamps. Tip: flowers can skip in case you need, but enclosing the lamps with greenery or flowers is an easy way.

Elect for Wood

If you're choosing between plastic chairs and tables versus wood, go with the pure alternative. It is still possible to opt for folding seats for a cost point, but timber has a way of looking a lot more polished.

Drape the Ceilings

It's amazing what a little fabric can do. Keep it formal and elegant with white fabric, or if you're after a fun vibe, elect for a bright colour like yellow. Bonus: Take this approach and you can go light and still get the same reception seem that is decked-out.

Hang (a Ton of) Paper Lanterns

We know--paper lanterns are nothing new. But multiply the amount of lanterns you see hanging by 100 in a reception area and it's an entirely different story.

Rent Colored Glassware

Rather than pouring your whole reception décor budget into the centerpieces, think about using part of the budget to rent extras such as colored glassware--it'll make your tables pop in an instant.
