Fantastic Reception Decor for your Outdoor Wedding

Posted by: Denise In: After the Wedding|Venues

If you’re planning an outdoor wedding or reception, these fantastic reception decor ideas are perfect for you!

For a unique placecard, but small envelopes in various hues to match your theme and print guests names on each card. For a garden or spring wedding, you can attach a retro floral brooch to each evenlope that guests can then take home as wedding favors! Garage sales and thrift stores are great places to find these 70′s-style pins, so you won’t even have to spend a lot of money to nab this idea for yourself.

Fill a bunch of inexpensive metal watering cans with flowers, leaves or other decorations to adorn your outdoor space cheaply and beautifully. If it’s a rusty watering can (as shown in the photo at right), it will just add even more natural charm to your outdoor celebration!

Adorn the outdoor reception area with metal lanterns filled to the brim with flowers and candles for a sweetly elegant decor idea. You can use any flowers you like! Try purchasing different size lanterns to add even more variety to your decorations.

For your table centerpieces, fill large glass vases with fruits and flowers. In this photograph, apples, tulips, roses and other greenery were used to tie in with the theme of the wedding. You can use any fruit or flower that fits your color scheme or wedding theme.

An outdoor reception might pose some decorating challenges, but with a bit of creativity and a dash of inspiration you can find fantastic outdoor reception decor that will make your special day even more beautiful.

I’m sure you’ll find some great suggestions for an “Alice in Wonderland” themed wedding! I’d have to say my favorite would be the wedding cake :)

One of my cousins got married last year and I was a bridesmaid in her wedding. About 2 weeks before the wedding the bride calls me up to ask me if I would mind not wearing my engagement ring at her wedding since it would distract people from looking at her ring, and she really didn’t want anyone in the bridal party sporting jewelry bigger than hers. Can anyone beat that bridezilla request?? — Alexis
