Skirt the table to the floor with rented linens and decorate the front of the cake table with items that reflect your theme.
Place real flowers on the cake and use a beautiful cake topper.
For Christmas, put small colored Christmas ball ornaments (edible) on your wedding cake instead of flowers. The entire top tier could be shaped to look like a Christmas tree. Try lots of edible clear glitter to make a "snowy" cake.
Ask your bridesmaids to place their bouquets on the cake table.
Silver or crystal punch bowls remain a popular item for weddings.
Use colorful paper or china plates and monogrammed napkins.
Scatter rose petals or faux crystal diamonds around the bottom of the cake. Add a few votive candles for an evening reception.
Circle the base of the cake with shimmering chiffon or tulle fabric or use a pretty beaded garland to add sparkle.
Purchase beautiful toasting goblets to share your first champagne as a married couple. Serving ware can be simple or ornate and dressed up with ribbons, flowers, or beads.
Reception Decorating - Special Touches
Create a collage (picture board) of the two of you growing up and meeting. Choose formal as well as candid photos and create captions for each one.
Display wedding gowns from family members on walls or rented dress forms. Include a wedding photo of the bride next to the dress.
A table filled with family or photos of the two of you will add a personal touch to your wedding.
Christmas weddings call for decorated Christmas trees.
If trees or bushes surround you, string tiny white lights through them to add drama and romance.
Tie a big white bow to the collar of the family dog or cat.
Hang colorful piñatas and ask folks try to break them with a stick while blindfolded.
Dove releases are romantic and memorable.
If you have a wedding theme, ask your guests to dress the part. Western gear, black and white for contemporary settings or 50’s attire are popular.
Have a friend or family member take a Polaroid of your guests as they arrive at your reception. The photos are pinned to a silk tree (photo tree) and are given as favors when the guests leave.
White Greek pedestals are great for formal weddings. Spiral white tulle around each one and place large potted plants on them. Consider renting one of the many styles available.
