Food

You can never go wrong with food! If all else fails, turn to your trusty cupcake tiers, champagne and chocolate fountains. Trays of canapes also look like a posh setup especially when its wine o’clock at the wedding reception.

Candles

Scented candles always relax the mood in the room but also look pretty. They automatically make a space more intimate and will always have a romantic feel. If they are good for proposals then they will also be great for weddings.

Engagement and Other Pictures

Instead of the popular flower wall, have a wall that showcases blown up pictures of the couple at their proposal, family events and special occasions or just chilling. It definitely gives an intimate touch to the reception area!

Drapes of Fabric

Sparkly or plain fabric can be used to cover the walls and can be hung from the ceiling depending on the vibe that is being created.

Synthetic Flowers

Flowers can be arranged as a centre piece, round tables and on walls. A flower ball can also be made by sticking flowers into a ball of Styrofoam and letting it hang in the centre of the room. Have real flowers only at strategic areas of the room if you are particular about some freshness.
