Exciting Fall Wedding Reception Decoration Ideas

By Ryker Crogan


I absolutely love to go to weddings that have beautifully decorated ceremonies. Whether it's in a big, elegant church, or a rustic, old garden, or at a white, sandy beach, the backdrop and decorations of a wedding ceremony can really make a lasting impression. And luckily, a pretty ceremony doesn't have to cost a fortune. When it comes to ceremony decorating, less tends to be more. Additionally, you can save some money by being creative and keeping it simple. Here are few ideas for decorating your ceremony while sticking to your budget. The key to successful wedding ceremony decor is simplicity. Clean, elegant flower arrangements, a few strategically placed candles or some potted plants to add a little greenery are all you need to create a romantic and memorable ceremony. Less is more - which ultimately means more money in your wallet. Many freshly engaged couples have stars in their eyes after the big marriage proposal comes about. They have no idea what to do after the euphoria starts to wear off, so they tend to bend and fold to the pressures of how other people think their special day should be, but most are just happy to have found their soul mate and just want to seal the deal. Well, a hearty congratulations to those adventuresome, fun-loving couples that are brave enough to not only go against the grain, but also against well-meaning family members that are confused about whose wedding it actually is supposed to be for. Tradition is nice, but in this economy many people are on a budget, choosing instead to put money down on a house or honeymoon, in lieu of a huge wedding

Buy Lots of Tulle: There are so many fun things that you can do with tulle to decorate, but here are two of my favorites. The first thing you can do is create a canopy effect with the tulle. Have a few friends hang some from the center of the ceiling and then drape it down to the corners of the altar or stage. To complement the tulle canopy, use tulle to make bows to put on the pews or rows of chairs.

Mow the Lawn: This may seem obvious, but if you are getting married in a backyard, start working on the lawn early to ensure that it will be ready in time for the big day. If the yard is kept up with regularly, it will look better for the wedding. Also, start early to plan out what flowers and plants you want to feature. Planting bulbs months in advance will save you from buying more expensive flowers to plant the week before the wedding.

Use a Theme to Guide You: I went to a wedding not too long ago that had an amazing "Zen" theme throughout. Some of the decorations included paper parasols, lanterns, and bonsai trees. They even had rock gardens as the wedding reception centerpieces to complete the theme. What's great about using a theme is that you only need a few elements to make a big impact on the overall impression of the ceremony.

Throw Down Some Flower Petals: Even if you do not have a flower girl, you can still throw down some flower petals along the aisle. This can be done as part of the decorating process before the guests arrive. Flower petals are inexpensive to buy compared to actual flower arrangements, so if you really want flowers but don't want to spend the money, this is a great way to add them into the decoration of your ceremony.
