Offbeat Wedding Party Decorations: Develop Your Own Reception Style

One of the fun things about a wedding reception is the wedding party decoration. You can express yourself and your theme and be as creative as you’d like. Even if you don’t consider yourself to be good at crafts and decorations, you can still have fun and decorate with style. The days of boring weddings in all white are quickly becoming a thing of the past.

When pondering ways to decorate for a wedding party, keep in mind that almost everything in your reception area can be decorated. You can add your own details to all of the areas of your wedding. The entryway is especially important to enliven because it is the first thing that guests see when they get to the reception. Wow them from the beginning with something special.

If you are having a Greek-themed wedding, use a living wedding party decoration by hiring an Adonis-looking model to escort guests to their seats. Then, continue the enchantment with details throughout the venue. The gift table can be decorated with grape leaves and framed by rented columns.

If your husband-to-be is really into rock n’ roll, consider decorations that reflect this theme. You can find old records at thrift stores and use them almost everywhere. They can be hung from the ceiling or placed under centerpieces. You could glue faux beads around the inside label to make them look more like a wedding party decoration.

Consider using chocolate guitars for wedding favors. You can find an Elvis cardboard cutout and stand it next to the entranceway to greet the guests as they walk into the reception area. Go all the way and rent a jukebox for music instead of having a DJ. Even the cake can be decorated to reflect your theme.

Try finding a cake mold in the shape of a guitar. Then have a friend or baker make a groom’s cake. It can be decorated with strings of licorice and mini Hershey bars for tuners.

If you are having an informal beach-themed wedding, consider using lawn chairs and umbrellas in your reception area to give it a casual feel. Blow up some beach balls and have them around for guests to play with. Centerpieces can be vases filled with sand and candles.

There are no rules for wedding party decoration. Why not purchase a replica sand castle for decoration on the gift table? Give your guests miniature sand pails filled with chocolates as wedding party favors. Make use of the shell motif and sprinkle them on tables. You get the idea. Now brainstorm about what you can do with your theme to make it fun and lively.

No matter what theme or colors you choose, have fun with your wedding party decoration. Give your guests something out of the ordinary, something they wouldn’t necessarily expect. They will surely remember your party as the best wedding they’ve ever attended.
