Build Rooms Inside Your Reception

A great way to create private alcoves or "rooms" within a large area is to bring in tall bookshelves (think IKEA) to build walls. Use bookshelves that are open in the front and back and have room to place candles and small cubes of flowers to create a romantic glow and feel. This is a great idea if you want to create a cool lounge atmosphere - anchoring the area with tall bookshelves, couches, and lots and lots of flowers and candles.

The Principle of Three

Instead of having every table at the reception decorated with the same exact floral arrangement, mix it up with three different styles. Use the same colors and similar types of flowers intermixed around the room. A variety of arrangements bring a lot of dimension and detail into the room - a great way to wow your guests.

Seating for a Modern Wedding

Here's a new idea for chairs at your reception - Instead of using a standard ballroom or chivari chair, use white, cushy ottoman cubes for seating around your tables. This sleek look is great if you want a more modern wedding.

Go Broadway this Season

“Theatrical” and “Dramatic” are the two biggest words of this coming wedding season. At the recommendation of television shows, such as Platinum Weddings, and two of our favorite wedding magazines, Grace Ormande Wedding Style and Inside Weddings, this season’s weddings are truly becoming as big as Broadway productions. What is so great about this current trend is that the stylistic possibilities are endless and the sky is the limit when it comes to ideas for your wedding. If you can dream it, Exceptional Events can create it.
