Simple Ways To Transform A Wedding Reception Space

The wedding reception is one of the best parts of the big day. It’s where we get to spend time with the ones we invited, let loose, and really celebrate. Transforming the space into something high-class and elegant in a simple way is a great way to streamline the process while still feeling like something unique has been put together. After all, this is where everyone will spend the majority of their time that day. Here are a few fun ways to inject a little sophistication and personality into the reception.

Spice Up the Dinnerware

An inexpensive and subtle way to add more grace to the wedding day is by switching out the dinnerware for something simple and classy. Find glassware and plates that match the wedding colors and the theme you want to portray.

Have Different Table Décor

Not everything needs to be matchy-matchy for the décor to mesh well together. Consider changing the table centerpieces so that they differ, as long as they correlate and complement each other. Remember to design the perfect dessert table and buffet area; guests will spend a lot of time there.

Bring the Outdoors Inside

Do you want more of a fairy-tale, whimsical wedding? Bringing in a little outdoors can set the mood for the entire night. Outdoor elements will transform the wedding reception space and enhance the room in that dreamy wedding way.

Try Different Shaped Dinner Tables

Typically, we see the wedding party sit at the top of the room at a long table while the guests sit in front of them, often at round tables. Switch this up a bit—not everything needs to be the same for it to look high-end. Mixing the shapes of the tables is a quick and simple thing that will set your wedding day apart from the rest.

Add Lighting

The venue most likely already has lighting, but adding your own will make the space more unique to you. Christmas lights are easy to tack up and tear down, and they’re simple to hang with Command Strips so that you don’t have to ruin any walls. Having different hues of lighting can set the mood for the entire night.

Most importantly, however, make sure that all the elements that make up the space are in favor of you and your partner’s interests and taste - because in the end, this day is for you both and no one else.
