Easy Wedding Ideas to Help Elevate Your Reception

When it comes to planning your special day, finding easy wedding ideas may seem difficult. For today’s post, I’ve teamed up with Taylor from Ivory Couture to share with you some easy wedding ideas that can help elevate your reception.

Flowers

I may be biased, but I truly believe that flowers are one of the best and easiest ways to elevate your wedding. Flowers bring color, texture, and an overall theme to your event. The best way to tie in your wedding colors will be through flowers. Flowers help fill in empty spaces (think about the center of your tables!) and can really bring to life a wedding venue. I’m reminded again and again how easy it is for flowers to completely transform a space. We recommend to all of our couples to invest in their wedding flowers!

Taylor agrees and shares, “As a flower-lover myself, I couldn’t agree more that flowers help elevate any space!  Centerpieces in general are a necessary aspect of your dinner table and are often a huge design statement piece for couples.”

Linens

As a florist, I love it when my couples invest in high quality linens! Linens and flowers go hand in hand, and I love seeing the pair elevate a reception space. Linens are another design element that can add color and texture to your wedding. Some may say that linens aren’t necessary to have for your wedding day, but I would have to disagree. I would say that linens are the one easy wedding ideas that can completely alter a design and space.

Taylor brings up a great point and adds, “Your choice of table linens – a lot of times a quick decision for many couples – can completely transform the entire look of a tablescape.  I encourage you to give thought to your linen selection and don’t be afraid of color, texture or making a statement!  Even if you choose a few key tables, such as a head table and cake table, this easy design element can have a big impact.”

Accent Decor

“Many couples want guests to experience that ‘wow’ factor when entering the reception space”, shares Taylor. “Consider going big with your seating chart or suspending a floral focal piece above the dance floor to enhance the ambience of your venue space.  While accent décor is an added expense, bringing in a dramatic detail practically guarantees a breathtaking effect.”

One of my favorite arrangements to design are accent decor pieces. Accent decor is an added and luxury expense, but if you have the means it can really change up your wedding space. Some of my favorite accent pieces have been a giant escort wall display, our giant canopies, and flowers covering an outdoor grill (check it out!).

Paper Goods

“From signage to menus, paper goods are an easy element to add to your wedding design”, Taylor suggests. “Are you showcasing unique ‘his & her’ cocktails?  Do you want something unique in place of the typical seating chart?  If so, use custom or unique signage in these places.  Another great option is to commission a custom monogram or crest to use throughout your paper suite and design.  Use this detail on signs, menus, wax seals, napkins and so much more!”

Here at Roots Floral, we completely agree. Paper goods are another great way to add in a unique and personal touch to your wedding day details.
