Affordable Ways to Add Breathtaking Beauty to An Indoor Wedding Reception
In the USA, the average cost of a wedding is $35,641, according to Fortune.com While a beautiful wedding and reception are undoubtedly well worth spending money on, there are affordable ways to add breathtaking beauty to indoor wedding reception décor, which may help you to lower the final tab for your very special event. When you add hanging flower baskets, choose colorful glassware for table settings and utilize indoor water features, you’ll glamorize your reception venue and show off your personal style.
Add Hanging Flower Baskets
Flowers aren’t just for table settings. In fact, they are often used to better effect when they are suspended above banquet tables, in hanging baskets, according to Theknot.com. Then, they don’t obstruct views at the table and they also keep the eyes of wedding guests moving upward, which is great news if the carpeting or flooring at a reception venue isn’t first-rate. The flowers and baskets don’t have to cost a bundle. If you want to save money, look for cheap baskets, fill them with colorful blooms that cost a few bucks apiece and then suspend them with care. Make sure that they are completely secure.
Choose Colorful Glassware for Table Settings
Red, citrine or cobalt glassware takes on a “lit from within” glow in candlelight, or while displayed under glittering crystal chandeliers. Colored glassware is available at dollar stores and looks amazingly costly and rich when combined with nice plates, tablecloths and cutlery. Use this type of glassware to add jewel-like beauty to table settings (and to make wedding guests feel like royalty). One easy option is placing ruby-hued wine glasses or water glasses on banquet tables, for a pop of color that is glamorous, timeless and exciting.
Utilize Indoor Water Features
The tables at your wedding reception will be noticed by your guests. They are the places where your guests will hang out when they aren’t dancing. According to Glamour.com, a lot of wedding guests spend time worrying about which table they have been placed at. With all of this in mind, you should take care to make tables as beautiful as possible. One original and gorgeous table centerpiece option is an indoor table bubble fountain. With this type of fountain, the water is enclosed in a transparent, sculptural form, and bubbles within the water travel up and down.
Get Help with Wedding Planning
Doing some of the wedding and reception preparation yourself is smart, but don’t be afraid to outsource the tough stuff, such as general lighting for the event, A/V equipment setup and music. When you add hanging flower baskets, choose brightly-hued glassware and add table bubble fountains to your reception décor, you’ll be choosing glamorous design elements that make your reception breathtakingly beautiful, without busting your budget.

Judy & Bill’s 50th Wedding Anniversary
On Friday April 27, 2018 Judy and Bill presented their 50th wedding anniversary to their friends and family. Their celebration was held at the Westford Regency in Westford Massachusetts. It was a fantastic celebration with so much love and so much appreciation with their 4 children and 7 grandchildren attending as well as close friends of many years. As they recreated the magic of 50 years ago they danced a first dance as husband and wife right after Curtis Knight told the story of how they met and how bill proposed. All the guests were lined up around the edge of the dance floor for their first dance and for their final dance of the evening as they begin the next leg of their amazing romantic journey.
On May 3 Curtis delivered several oversized prints, one of them being 17 inches by 60 inches as well as about 50 4” by 6” inch prints as well as all the images on DVD. Curtis also scanned their lifetime images and created jpegs from their paper family photos and those images were delivered to them as jpegs after being presented on the TV screen that is at the event. Here are the very kind words that Judy and bill posted as part of a 5 star Google review: “We used CKE for our 50th Wedding Anniversary Party. Planning the party with Curtis was like talking with a friend you have known forever. Curtis and Mark were fantastic. They involved everyone that attended the party in several fun activities (Sweet Caroline). We had the package that included old photos of our wedding and family displayed on a TV screen, which everyone viewed and enjoyed as they entered the room. Curtis also took many photos of everyone during the entire evening. These photos also appeared on the TV screen. People loved seeing themselves in real time. Everyone we have spoken to mentioned what a remarkable evening it was, thanks to Curtis and Mark. We would highly recommend CKE for any event you may be planning.
