Outdoor reception decorations?

Oh, i did this same theme for mine. We had all of the white lights we could find with tiki torches ( not the cheap one's) and all of our guest got laid with the flower lays. It is nice to set a good atmosphere with candles and hamocks and great flowers. Congradulations and good luck.

You can pick just about anything you want these days--depending on your budget.\n\nIf you are on a rather tight budget definitely consider flowers that are in season that time of year.  Otherwise the skies the limit.\n\nAnother idea is to use dried items (which are usually cheaper) for bulk and shape and then add a few more expensive stems for a fresh look.\n\nAlternately, instead of flowers, why not try something outrageous like battery operated strings of lights with ribbon and tulle wrapped around them?  Or bunches of sparkly crystals on wire that you can wrap into a shapes---sure to make a statement.\n\nRemember, unless you are going for a very traditional look, flowers are NOT required.\n\nGood luck and send us pictures!

Lots of ideas:\n\nhttp://www.favorideas.com/shopping/cat1/p0/index.htm\n\nhttp://www.islandweddingshop.com/\n\nhttp://www.favorideas.com/2005/12/30/15-favor-ideas-for-your-hawaiian-wedding/\n\n\nIf you want to make them by hand:\n\n- You can always get ideas from the websites listed above, and then find a way to make them yourself.  Or just buy them online.\n\n- For hot summer weddings, guests might appreciate sandalwood fans or silk hand fans.  They can be decorated with shells or other beach related items.\n\nWell, let's see, beach, sand, shells, water, starfish, waves, sun, ocean, birds, palm trees, hand-held fans, beach towels, suntan lotion, bug spray, a cool drink, flip flops, beach hat, just to name a few things to work with.  :-)

Pretty colors! Why not try a 3 or 4 tier rounded cake. Brown all over frosting with turquoise vines and very small flowers? That would be pretty. But use your imagination. Stick with the feeling you want to convey at your wedding. Good Luck.

someones Backyard that you know that will allow you to decorate in the elegance that you want.  My sister is getting married in my brothers back yard which is not real big but a nice size and food will be provided by family to cut even more cost but still all in all she will get what she really wants and that is her parents and family members to see the wedding don't blow your money so friends that you barely see or people you just have to invite come and eat and drink and probably won't even bring a gift.

Do you have a website, if not you should look into getting on and outting photos of your decoration online? A catalog to send to anyone that inquires after your work? what methods have you been using for marketing your business?  I am recommending a marketing book by Shel Horowitz as well as some articles I believe will be of help.  Another thing I suggest is to visit SCORE.org.  There you can search for a score counselor that has experience in the field of Decor and set up an appointment at your local chapter or simply communicate via email.  It is a free service as it's run by retired executives and business owners.\n\nGood luck

Try local community centers (call local city halls or visit their web sites); some art museums may allow you to cater your own reception. Also, church halls, fellowship halls, clubs (like Rotary, Elks), local colleges generally rent out their facilities and allow you to cater it yourself.

You can go to Office Depot/Staples or other office-center stores, they have many decorated papers.  You may need to 3-hole punch it, but it will be a pretty, decorated, printed paper, like what you want.  Yeah, white gets boring... :)

Try a party store. Look for table skirt clips. They should be able to attach to the awning and then you clip the lights on.............

A good theme in my mind is of "Renewal/Rebirth" I am not talking in the sense of the church but in the sense of you.  I would go for some flowers that are not completely bloomed yet, but almost there.  I would also use a lot of soft pastel colors, but make sure that you focus on the ones that remind you two the most of your original wedding colors.\n\nFor after wards, if you are outdoors type people i would go camping under the stars.  If you are more to indoors, I would try to find a nice spa that does couples sessions where you two can get a nice message or mud bath together.

Hold the wedding/reception at a local park. Not sure what Maymont or or others charge in the area. Check with the park & rec departments of each county/city.

A lot of times, just the little things can make a difference between "ok" and "memorable".\nhmmm, party ideas:\n• come up with 2 or 3 colors to set your party mood. This year, we are going with a yellow-green, bright pink, and  a deep cranberry red for a real 50's retro Christmas look.\n• Serving punch or eggnog? Dip the edge of glasses in water or apple juice, then rim the glasses with plain or colored sugar for a pretty sparkle effect. \n• Use napkin rings in your chosen colors. \n• How about renting an arch for people to stand under for picture taking? You can decorate it with balloons in Christmas colors, tufts of iridescent garland, and maybe some mistletoe or pine boughs at the top. Stand it in front of a plain curtain for a solid background.\n• Come up with cute take home party favors so guest will remember the night even more. Cheap plastic ornaments with the group name and year written in silver or gold marker are always nice. \n• Get a guest book to sign at the entrance to make the party feel more special.\nHope these help, and have a wonderful time!
