Question from Sherica:
I will be having a little ceremony this november with maybe 10 people, but I will not be having a reception until valentines day. I want to know how do I go about doing the reception. Do I treat the same way as a regular wedding reception, do I start getting things now and also I was wondering if you could give me some good tips for decorations, the colors are gold ivory and champagne, I will be using strawberry and chocolate as accent colors. Can u please help?
Answer from Bridal Expert Angela:
Hi Sherica. Congratulations on your upcoming wedding.
Yes, you can treat your reception the same way as a "normal" wedding reception. The only difference will be a change in the wording of your wedding invitations. Yes, you should get started as soon as possible. Time slips by very quickly and there is a LOT to do in planning a full wedding reception. Check out our wedding planning tips and ideas.
If you follow the link to wedding supplies, you will find a lot of ideas for wedding decorations. You will need to decide on a theme to focus your decorations. Since you are planning a Valentine’s wedding reception, you might consider the "heart" theme. This will tie in with your strawberry accent colour.
Your wedding colours sound lovely, so you just need to coordinate your wedding supplies and decoration colours to match those colours. If you follow the links, you will see that many of the decorations come in a wide variety of colours.
If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask.
