Question from Xandy:
We’re having an outdoor wedding on a game farm. There are going to be some horses involved. The reception is going to be in a hall. The colours are brown, purple and green. What can we use for table decorations if we don’t want to use flowers?
Answer from Bridal Expert Angela:
Hi Xandy, and congratulation on your wedding. It sounds great!
Reception table centrepieces can include fruit, sand, lights, water, and candles to name the most common elements. There are some lovely examples of wedding reception centerpieces in this video. Also, this link takes you to many table centrepieces that you can purchase on-line.
Some examples of centerpieces would be vases with fruit inside. Or multiple vases with coloured water with floating candles on top. Vases with rocks on the bottom, a lovely blossom anchored with the rocks, filled with water topped with a floating tea light can be quite stunning. The water lights you can find on the last link are very beautiful. Wedding favours can also be grouped on the table to create a focal point, and this link to wedding favours gives you a very large selection.
These should give you an idea and the two video links will give you even more ideas. Good luck, and if you have further questions, feel free to ask.
