Decorating
the Reception Venue
Decorations play a large role in setting the mood for any
function. Weddings are no exception. With the right decorations
a simple function site can be transformed into the most elegant
venue for a wedding reception. Any atmosphere can be created
with decorations. Therefore, the first step when choosing
decorations for your reception venue is to decide what type
of atmosphere you want to generate. This will depend on the
type of wedding you're going to have. For a formal and elegant
reception consider decorations such as flowers and candles.
An informal afternoon reception, on the other hand, can be
decorated with balloons, for example. But flowers always
seem popular, whether the wedding is formal or informal.
When
choosing a reception venue find out what decorations they
supply and what, if any, you need to bring yourself. Also
ask if the venue has any restrictions regarding the type
of decorations you can use. Not all reception venues allow
you to decorate with candles because of their fire hazard,
for example.
If you
think buying decorations is too expensive consider renting
them. Rental companies might be able to give you some decorating
ideas. You should choose a rental company about four to
six months before the wedding. Ask them about delivery
charges, setup and takedown costs, when the equipment is
due back and who is going to return it, and who is going
to clean it. You and the rental company should sign a contract.
