Wedding reception decorating with lights

Wedding reception decorating with lights makes your special day glow almost as much as the bride herself does. The enchantment of soft lighting creates a romantic mood wherever your wedding takes place.

When you plan a wedding reception decorating with lights, discuss the lights you plan to use with the reception facility you are renting. Make sure you can place lights and candles to accent your wedding. If you are inviting children at your wedding, you can choose safe, battery operated flickering tealights for your candle displays. Once you know the decorating rules, you are ready to get creative with lights and candles that express the theme of your special day.

Everyone who wants to feel like Cinderella and Prince Charming on their wedding day will love the look of a Cinderella wedding carriage candle at each table. For brides who chose a carriage ride instead of a limo, a carriage candle adds a charming touch. Another illuminating decorating idea for Cinderella weddings is lighting up your walkways with white light garland for a fairy tale feel everywhere you go.

Many country weddings take place in a large tent. Decorate the ceiling, entrance and exit of the tent with a white light garland. If your party continues into the evening, the lights will illuminate the night and add to the romantic feelings of your special day. Add whimsical candles to each table. Country cow candles are a cute way to celebrate the farm. Felt daisy candleholders are a pretty touch.

Simply pick your favorite holiday!

This is actually one way you can save a lot of money on wedding decorations and food. If you choose to have your wedding near a major holiday (such as Christmas or Valentine’s Day), then you can use the same colors, decorations and foods that are traditional for that holiday.

For example, for a Christmas wedding theme, you can have poinsettia plants for your flowers, and even a fully decorated Christmas tree, if you want! You can also use all the same types of decorations as you would use to celebrate Christmas. As far as clothes for a Christmas wedding, you don’t have to pick the traditional red and green. You can choose icy blues and whites, if you like.

The best part: no matter which holiday you choose, lots of fun holiday-themed items will be readily available to you as your wedding date nears. So it will be a cinch to decorate your wedding to match your holiday theme. And if your wedding date is set far enough in advance, then you could even find some great bargains on decorations at post-holiday sales the year before your wedding!
