Wedding reception decor seems to be one of the most most popular searches done by brides. The newly engaged everywhere seem to know exactly what they want when it comes to their wedding dress, their bridal flowers and their wedding cake, but somehow the wedding reception decor requires help. Perhaps this is because brides are looking for ideas on how to put a unique stamp on their wedding, creating a special and memorable experience for their guests (and themselves!).

Some unique ideas for wedding reception decor follow:

Pick a pattern: Find a pattern you absolutely love and use it for your napkins. You can then build around this theme with the other colors in your wedding decor. For instance, if you choose a Burberry plaid for your napkins, you could pull the colors for other items such as black table cloths and red flowers. Or, imagine a tropical print for the napkins and choosing some colors from it for your flower arrangements, gauzy tulle decorations and multi-colored candles.

Reflective surfaces: For an elegant and almost magical effect, combine mirrors with candles. You can do this in myriad ways - your imagination is the limit! For instance, hang tiny mirrors from your centerpieces or even create a centerpiece from several different heights of mirrors in a circle. Surround these by candles and you have a reflective, glowing sparkle throughout your reception room. This can be very effective with all silver or all gold mirror frames, and white or cream candles, although warm reds and oranges work well for candles as well.

Honoring history: Whether you are paying tribute to the 'old country' or to the combined background of the two getting married, a theme based around history can make for a unique wedding reception. For instance, if the groom is Irish and the bride Caribbean, there are some unique ideas - shamrock confetti with palm trees everywhere? - and many combinations are possible. Perhaps the grandparents are from Italy, and you can create a gorgeous Tuscan theme to honor family history.

Bring back an era: If there's a love the two of you share for a certain era, such as the 80's or the roaring 20's, design your reception decoration around this. You could have everything black and white and play romantic old movies on a screen (quietly) off to one side to invoke the glorious olden days, or you could have disco balls, disco music and sequined decorations to give your guests a little disco fever!

As you can see, these are just a few ideas to get your imagination rolling. Once you start thinking outside the traditional box, the ideas are as varied as the couples who invent them. Happy wedding planning, and enjoy your special day!
