Beautiful Centrepieces for Your Wedding Reception
While flowers are traditionally used as table decorations at wedding receptions, they can be expensive, prompt allergic reactions and break your heart when the time comes to throw them away. Non-floral centrepieces are becoming increasingly popular as table decor and reception decorations and can add a depth of character to your wedding that flowers lack. Non-floral decorations can be big or small, simple or detailed and you can by them ready-made or DIY. Here are some great ideas for table decorations to go with or without flowers.
Candles
If there was ever a traditional alternative to flowers at a wedding reception, candles are it. Simple church candles look stunning placed on a mirrored base and will give your reception a romantic glow. For something more contemporary experiment with coloured and scented candles, vary the sizes or use coloured jars or glasses to sit them in. Alternatively, seek out chinese or moroccan lanterns, fairy lights or unusual lamps.

Colors and Flowers – Symbolic of Feelings, Thoughts and Intentions
Colors and flowers have their own symbols and meanings. Learning what each represents will create layers and texture to the decor at the showers, wedding and reception. Since each culture has its own interpretation, some of the symbolism may be different. Also, the age of the person may play a part in how she perceives the meaning behind the colors or flowers.
Color Symbolism
- Black—This is one color that has more than one meaning. It may be considered an elegant color, fit for a sophisticated event, or it may represent evil. Some people also associate it with power, sensuality, wealth, sadness or mourning.

Shop Post-Christmas Sales and Dollar Stores to Find the Best Deals
Winter is a beautiful time of year to get married. It can also be a less expensive time of year to get married, as it is not the most popular time of year to be wed so things like venues and services may be cheaper. Save even more money on a budget winter wedding with some simple and innovative decorating ideas.
Using Christmas Ornaments and Decorations as Winter Wedding Decorations
Many Christmas ornaments also double quite nicely as wedding decorations. Avoid the reindeer and nutcracker Christmas decorations. Instead, look for things that have more of a general winter theme. Crystal snowflakes or icicles, for example, are perfect for decorating a reception hall in a winter theme.
