Wedding Reception Decorations: How-to Play Up Your Wedding Reception Decorations with Paper

wedding reception decorations scheme and create a paper version of the same thing. Bouquets, centerpieces, decorations, and I’ve even seen a couple get so creative they created their wedding arch out of paper!



Here are some ideas to help inspire you to use paper in more than just your invitations.

1. Wrapping Paper or Wallpaper: You can use this heavy duty paper for . . . wait for it . . . wedding table runners! Or you can even use it as place mats, all the while saving some money.



2. Tissue Paper Flower Centerpieces: Using tissue paper flowers will cut the cost of flowers dramatically. Not to mention they add a very fun touch to your reception.


3. Paper Garland: Substitute the traditional ribbon or tulle to connect your rows of chairs down the aisle at your wedding with a simple yet whimsical paper garland. Or if you prefer something bolder you can always opt to create pom poms made from tissue paper.
