Your wedding reception decorations are an area - you have the opportunity to express yourself and show your style - co-ordinate your wedding theme. The decorations help to set the tone of your wedding; unfortunately it is also an easy opportunity for you to overspend. Do not buy the first things that you see only tofind somthing better or more suitable only to leave the first item purchased o collect dust and not be used. Think, set a budget and plan before you buy do not over purchase. Some couples are lucky to get some decorations inclued in their wedding package, so check with the venue what is provided and what it is acceptable, some venues do not allow candles, others do not allow confettie being thrown on the bride and groom. Take photographs of the venue go plan the location of decorations and the type of decorations that will suit your purpose.
