Wedding Decorating Rules
for a Beautiful Reception

Keep a few simple wedding decorating rules in mind, when implementing your unique decorating ideas.

The ceiling height in the room will determine how tall your centerpieces and other floral arrangements will be, no matter what type of flowers you decide to use.

Long stemmed flowers with large heads are good choices for larger arrangements such as those that will decorate the altar. White or brightly colored flowers work well in places of worship or ceremony locations that are not well lit.

An important decorating rule for the reception table centerpieces is as follows: centerpieces should be less than 14 inches high or more than 20 inches high, in order for your guests to be able to look over or under the arrangement and see the other guests across the table.

A unique decorating idea is to vary the height in your floral arrangements, in order to create a reception with visual interest and rhythm.

Many brides do not want to use traditional vases for their centerpieces, and are unsure about using varying types and sizes of containers for each centerpiece.

Remember, it's your wedding and only you know what type of mood you are trying to create. Using varying types of boxes, pedestals or unique containers can be used to create an interesting look that will compliment your wedding theme.

A money saving rule is to use greenery in your arrangements. This is one of the best ways to make each arrangement look fuller without breaking your wedding budget bank.
