Backdrops and Themes in New York

Reception decorations are often the third thing that comes to mind after the dress and the flowers. Decorating your New York reception location can be a fun experience. The main thing that people think about is the centerpieces.

Centerpieces are generally decorations that are placed in the center of a table, and wherever else you want (on food tables, by doorways, on windowsills, etc.). There are so many different types of centerpieces you can do, as well as many components to use. Here are some great ideas:

Round fish bowls filled halfway with river rocks, marbles, beads, etc. Then top it off with a large pillar candle or a floral arrangement. Your New York florist can show you many examples.

Baskets (or other containers such as teapots) filled with flower petals, love notes, pictures, or your favors.

Topiaries with small terracotta pots. Very Elegant and chic.

Buy frames and make a collage of pictures of you two together (or love notes to each other). You can put two or three on a table so guests can see them from any angle. Then have your New York florist arrange fresh cut stems around them.

Small vases or glass bowls can be filled with flowers, your New York florist can help make them look full , but is less expensive because of the size.

Instead of having sheet cakes in addition to your wedding cake, have individual round cakes on each table. These can be decorated with flowers or left plain and simple.

Hopefully, you will have gotten some ideas from these- they are all interchangeable and can be made with different items than listed. Florists can work with you to make your centerpieces beautiful and stay within your budget.

Just have fun, and go with whatever idea you want- there are no bad ideas when it comes to centerpieces, especially if it truly shows off yours and your fiancé's styles and tastes.
