Receptions: Special Touches for Your Wedding Reception in Nature

You love the location you chose, so when it comes time to decorate, go with special touches that emphasize the spectacular natural beauty that surrounds you.

Seashells

Have you chosen a beach wedding? Fill large, shallow shells, such as clam shells with wax and wicks to create clever votive candles that can double as favors.

Shoes, Please

If your guests will be walking on soft grass or the beach, consider a "shoe check" instead of the traditional "coat check." Just make sure to have a large mat standing by at the end of the reception so your guests can wipe off their feet before leaving.

Tiki Torches

The flickering light of tiki torches in bamboo holders creates a tropical party atmosphere. Plant a few around and watch as your guests start to show their wild sides.

Centerpieces

Invoke memories of long summer afternoons in your grandmother's garden by using galvanized buckets or watering cans filled with fragrant sweet pea or wildflowers.

Chinese Lanterns

Every photographer worth his "flash" knows that delicate Chinese lanterns cast a tremendously flattering light. Hang cheerful red or gentle pink lanterns from the trees around your reception site, and get ready for the click of the shutter.
