1.   Have your wedding invitations shaped into a leaf design, as well as your wedding ceremony programs.

3.  Have your florist add additional leaves to your wedding flowers.

4.  Use colored leaves to decorate your guest tables at the reception.

5.  Have your bakery make cupcakes for each guest with a chocolate shaped leaf on top.

2. Have your guests sing a song with the word ” love” in it.

You will spend most of your planning time on reception and reception decorating, that’s where all the celebrating occurs.  So where do you begin?

1) Select a theme.  That’s the easiest way to achieve a elegantly decorating reception hall.  When you choose a theme, it allows you to narrow down your decorating scheme.  Themes could be a color you love, or repleting a place you have been too.

2)  Evaluate your reception space.  Find out where the reception manager normally sets up the tables.  Can you changes this or does it work well for you?  Where can the band or DJ set their stage?  Can you move anything around to better suit your needs?

3)  Work within your budget.  You don’t need to spend thousands of dollars to achieve an elegant look for your reception hall.  Most reception venues will have a selection of decorating that can be used, some may even be FREE so ask!  Start shopping early, for those cost steals.

4) You will want to get a lot of ideas for the decorations, so you’ll need to do some research. Bridal magazines and the internet are great areas to start your research.

5)  Express your personality through the decorations.  A truely successful wedding is a wedding that is an extension of the couple.  This may help you select your theme!
