Banquet Halls And Discount Decorating

When the bride makes her initial appearance before she gets ready to walk down the aisle

, guests often let out a satisfactory sigh, an 'ahhhh,' moment. The next 'ahhhh' moment at a wedding is when the banquet hall is revealed to guests. The banquet hall is often where the reception is held and most of the evening is spent. Therefore, it's important to set the tone for the evening.

Some brides don't have to work within a budget. They can spend whatever money they want to create any atmosphere they like. Other brides have a limited amount of money they can spend so they try to find the best way to decorate for less. There are simple easy ways to create a fabulous banquet hall that will impress your friends and family.

A room lit by candlelight casts a soft glow over everything. While pillar candles can cost a lot of money, votives and tea lights don't. In fact, you can buy a bag of 100 for less than $20.00 at a lot of discount stores. Buy a couple hundred and adorn the room with them. Light the wedding cake, light the tables, the chandeliers and more.

An idea that doesn't cost anything but a bit of time is creating an impressive fold with the napkin. This adds a visual dimension to the room. There are several ways to fold a napkin that include the rose fold, bird of paradise fold, crown fold, opera fan fold and more.

Another inexpensive idea is printing table cards and menu cards at home. Add in a design element, a symbol you like, or an image that reflects the city you're in or the theme of your wedding. Or you can use colored ink and colored paper to dress it up. Layering one style of paper inside another is a great way to bring in color themes. By placing the table number in a stand, the table takes on visual depth.

Almost every reception incorporates flowers in one manner or another. Flowers can be very expensive depending on the type of flower and the quantity. Instead of going with the more is better philosophy, think simplicity. By using fewer flowers, but having a 'tall' bouquet, the table seems just as full as with a shorter display with more flowers.

Color is another element that can be brought in at a reasonable price. Using colored napkins with a chair tie, will help make the entire room feel complete. This also helps personalize the room and add your own flair to the festivities.

A banquet hall, in essence, is a blank canvas. You can fill it with color, with flowers, with style. You don't have to spend your life's savings to have a memorable banquet hall. With a little thought and a little creativity, you'll have your 'ahhhh' moment.
