Modern Wedding Reception Venue Ideas

The location plays a crucial role in deciding on the menu, décor and music used during the reception. You should be able to make these choices based on the type of location you’ve initially planned. The theme and the other small details you need for the reception must suit the tonality of the venue and reflect it. The venue can transform the feel of a wedding through its specific. Outdoors wedding don’t even need much of a decoration.

One of the most important and exciting decisions you’ll have to make as a couple is on the venue. The ceremony usually takes place in a church or chapel and it is a more formal event based on religious considerations. The reception on the other hand is more relaxed and diverting. The reception party is meant to celebrate the couple’s sacred union and offer the guests an enjoyable meal. As we said before, many people like to attend a wedding because of the delicious food, desserts and dancing music….lol

Backyards and open fields can help you plan a particularly personal affair. You can install a tent to make sure that your guests are safe in case of rain or wind. You will need chairs and tables and a dance floor platform to transform an open field into an elegant space for a wedding celebration.

You can choose an old-time barn if you want a vintage party. Check if the venue is well equipped with modern amenities. You will need good lighting, a sound system

Garden receptions are romantic choices for those who want to add a magical flair to their big day. There are many spots to choose from for a unique garden wedding. It can be a gazebo or arch reception. These locations are ideal for romantic wedding photos. Choose a botanical garden or an English themed garden reception for a more whimsical feel.

The colors and materials you decide to go for should be based on the overall concept of the event. Sashes are the most popular choices when it comes to adorning the chair covers. For a more appealing effect, use a highlight color for the sash in order for the rest of the hues to stand out in the room. The color of the sash should a darker shade or a lighter one, depending on the color scheme.

A contrasting look will pop more for sure. To add a hint of sparkle to the sash, add a vintage looking pin right in the middle of the sash. You can rent or collect these brooches from family and close friends

If this represent too much work and stress for you, forget about brooches and pins and use flowers. Silk flower adornments tucked into the knot of the sash will also add a splash of color and uniqueness to the chair design. Opt for really unique color combos and some interesting floral details as well

If you wish to tap into your creative side, painted wooden signs can be a very personal touch. Write your wedding date on these signs, or romantic poems. You won’t even need sashes or other types of bows.

Try and stick to your theme as well when buying such small adornments.

Chair covers and sashes vary in different degree from bows to tiebacks to flowers to pins etc choose the colour and style that best suits you and also affordable

Choose A Wedding With Color

Many couples are conservative and wish to plan a traditional wedding. In terms of decorations and attire, “traditional” usually refers to the white theme. Weddings are unique and joyous events by their own nature. But you can make your big day feel even more special and original by adding a little bit of color. White will always remain the official color of a wedding, but not everybody is satisfied with the way white behaves. Many of them find this tonality to be too boring and rather static than fun and cheerful – as they wish their wedding to be.

The success of a modern wedding is in the tonality the couple uses for the setting. The more colorful the décor is the more chances the wedding atmosphere will be more inviting for the invitees. After all, this is a time for celebrating the most important event of your life and this is why it’s supposed to be an entertaining mood. Using bright colors to accentuate different wedding areas or details seems like a good idea, especially for those who are having a personalized reception. The best way to insert color in a wedding is through flowers, drapings and decorative motifs. Focus on the wedding theme and choose the most representative details or items your guests can admire. Use them in rich colors.

You can get inspired from the season and use specific shades. For instance, if you’re getting married in the spring, you can play with soft shades and add more warmth to the entire event. Choose blush or pale pink and white if you don’t want anything too flashy. If you’re tying the knot in summer, consider nautical hues or bright tones in general, such as navy, ultramarine blue, hot pink or fuchsia, bright orange and yellow, emerald or sea green. Those who are having a fall wedding can select from deeper shades of purple, pink and green. Rusty reds, chocolate browns and golds are ideal for foliage color themed affairs.

Consider silver, bronze, pewter, platinum, slate, electric blue and other metallic tones. The colors you select will make the wedding atmosphere more or less romantic, elegant and enjoyable for your guests. It’s needless to say that you must follow the formality of the event and carry out the theme throughout the entire event. Look for unique colored details to use for your own bridal attire. Consider a sash, waist band, bow or flower in the colors of your wedding against a white dress. Or, choose a pair of colored shoes to make a difference. Modern brides also like to wear a colorful headpiece, just to add a personal touch to their overall look. It’s always a good idea to choose colorful dresses and shoes for the bridesmaids.

Now you can have the best wedding ever!

Happy Planning!

events planner, the vendors you provide for a corporate or social event can either make or break your reputation especially if you are an upcoming business owner.

Here are tips to ensure your vendors are on the same page and deliver a fabulous event.

Understanding of Deliverables
Communication is key, and this is true with vendor relationships. It is very important to articulate your client’s requirements clearly to your vendors, especially with services that require creativity such as decoration, cake making or video coverage. It is best to go over things so that the information is understood. Always provide a written document for each vendor with terms and conditions. The vendor should also provide a check list of all the items they will supply for the event. For example make sure you know exactly what your cake vendor will provide based on the client requirements such as cake table, knife, table cloth, candles, matches etc. Do not presume. If in doubt, ask.

Time of Set Up and Departure
A vendor who turns up late for set up can actually make an event turn out disastrous. Such vendors should be struck off your list instantly, unless there is a good enough reason. Engage vendors with a track record of being trustworthy and reliable and who won’t let you down.

Beware of the time frame of hire. Some vendors have a time frame for engagement such as car hire services. Find out if they are flexible with their time because you do not want any surprises. I recall a wedding where the Limo driver was threatening to leave the venue because the contracted three hours was up.

Staffing
Too many staff or too little staff can create havoc at events. There is nothing worse than seeing more vendors at your events than guests. You always need to know the number of staff that is being supplied by the vendor. Find out as much information as possible. For example, how many waiters, servers, ushers etc.

Most clients do not cater for vendor feeding. They expect that any feeding will be included in the vendor fees. So make sure this is communicated to your vendors before the event. Under no condition should a member of staff from a vendor go and help themselves to feeding that has been provided for guests. This is highly unprofessional.

Last Meeting
It is a must that you speak with vendors face to face for meetings prior to the event. Get as much detail as possible and talk through the event set up and where each vendor will be located. And remember to ask if any matters need clarification. This will shed light on any loop holes.

Rules of Engagement
It is very important to brief your vendors on the rules of engagement for your events. There is nothing worse than seeing staff provided by vendors dancing around or taking photos of the event with their phone cameras, when there are guests. This is bad manners and unprofessional. Vendors need to be informed that if any such behaviour is demonstrated, they will not be called again.

Excellent Customer Service
Remind your vendors that their staff should demonstrate excellent customer service at all times. Under no condition should they argue with your client or their guests. They should go behold the call of duty to delight the client and always be at their best.

Think about the explicit atmosphere you’d like your reception to form in exchange for guests. Are you searching for fun and informal?This can be a powerful guideline for determining what sort of centerpiece you ought to have.
1   Floating flowers create an elegant attraction by simply filling a shallow bowl with a few inches of water and letting blossoms float freely. Flatter flowers with a wide base work best as they are not so likely to crumple. Adding floating tea candles will give it even more of a romantic look.
2   Traditional floral arrangements are always a weddings favorite and wedding table decoration ideas are endless with all the types and colours to choose from to make your table centerpiece look extravagant or more simpler,depending on the outcome you are trying to create. Roses, daisies, lilies and orchids are excellent flower choices to use for wedding table centerpieces. Matching your colour scheme, the flowers can be grouped into various types of containers.

3    Edible table centerpieces are very attractive, non-wasteful and it is fun for guests to nibble off the centerpiece while visiting. Everybody’s favorite, chocolate-covered strawberries make a yummy accompaniment to any edible centerpiece. In lieu of a large wedding cake, placing individual decorated cakes in the centre of the table allows your guests to eat at their own leisure.
This option will allow you to have a smaller and less expensive bride and groom wedding cake.Above all, keeping it simple is a good approach because not only does it save on money but crowded place settings can make it difficult for guests to enjoy their meal.
Also, an oversized table centrepiece can become a distraction rather than a decoration if it makes it difficult for guests to converse across the table.
