Box Centerpieces

Wooden Box Centerpiece

When it comes to your receptions thinking outside of the box may actually mean choosing a box centerpiece for your reception tables. For big square tables you really do need to have an over-sized centerpiece to make a statement – without it being so tall that you can’t see the person sitting across the table from you. The above box centerpiece was truly amazing in real life, it was whether resistant and simply worked fabulously for a tropical outdoor event. A custom box centerpiece can be designed to suit your wedding colors/theme. First Class Weddings preferred vendor on this one is Mandy Grace from Bella Grace Flowers. Great job Mandy!

Reception Tables

Reception tables with personality often make a huge statement!

Have you thought about how your wedding reception tables will look? Napkin folds, place cards, menu cards and centerpieces are only a few of the decisions you will have to make when carefully planning out your table design. First Class Weddings specializes in assisting our clients with little details like these…and so much more.

Forest Green, Chestnut Brown, and Crimson are only a few of the options you see here. We hope that these inspirations will get you to thinking about your reception table set-up & decor.

Your reception tables options are endless…

Playing around with your ideas at home can often give you a more visual idea of how you would like your reception tables to look. Just keep in mind that your linens, chargers and china may be limited to the venue you have chosen (unless you want to pay extra to provide them yourself).

A Perfect DIY Enhancement

Flower Ice Cubes

These Ice Cube trays by William-Sonoma are the perfect little trick you need to pull off perfect frozen flower ice cubes. Don’t forget to use distilled water that has been boiled then cooled so you get a perfectly crystal clear cube. Also, freezing your edibles in layers (flowers facing down), a little at a time will ensure the perfect look. These trays run you about $7.50 each and can be found here.

The edible flower options you have to freeze in your ice cubes are in abundance. This website by Middlepath has an amazing list with some great photos to help you choose what color and style of floral you’d like to see frozen in your ice cube.

Table Cards

Table Cards: Name your table

Designating tables at your wedding will ensure that your caterer knows what table a person requesting coffee is sitting at, it also allows families sit together as well as ensuring that your father in law doesn’t sit next to your father (if they don’t get along). Here are the basics when planning out “who” sits at “who’s” table.

1. Draw a map of your tables: If you have 100 guests and are seating 10 at each table, then draw 10 tables.

2. Select a name to put on your table cards: Be creative! You don’t have to choose numbers you can choose flowers, names of islands, places you’ll visit, special dates, tv shows or anything unique and custom to you as a couple.

3. Provide one place card for each person (children too) that is attending your wedding. You will need to have a table set up to display the place cards at the entrance of the wedding reception. Your place cards can be alphabetically displayed in ice sculptures, in sand, on trees etc. so be creative! Just don’t forget about “mother nature” at outdoor weddings (or they could fly away).

4. Print the table card names on the back of each place card. This way when a guest retrieves their place card they will know which table they are sitting at.

5. Another option is that you could display the place cards directly at the table instead of the registration table. Then all you need is to display a table seating chart (alphabetical names in a frame under the table name headings) on the registration table and this will lead people to their table.

Reception CanopyReception Canopy:

This area works great at any indoor or outdoor reception! Put it near the cocktail area and people tend to gather to this comfy spot. Seat cushions and pillows can be color coordinated with your theme. A reception canopy can add a comfortable lounge area for people to gather and makes a stunning focal point.
