Okay, you have your flowers decided on, what's next? One of the big areas that I think make a wedding reception special is the use of linens. Sure, your site probably includes white or ivory linens as part of your package and that’s great. But if there is room in your budget, nothing, in my opinion, makes a room pop like the use of sheer overlays on the table. They come in just about every color of the rainbow plus gold and silver. But at around $18.00 an overlay, they are not cheap. Also, chair covers with matching sashes can glam-up those ugly folding chairs into a thing of beauty. Even more gorgeous are the Chivari chairs. If you can afford them, go for it, as nothing gives the room a more elegant look. But wait, you say, my budget is already screaming, what can I do? Well instead of overlays, use table runners. The secret here is to use chair sashes you can rent for around $1.50 a piece as the runners on your table. Still gives that pop of color. If you know someone that sews, buy material in your color and have them make oversized squares to use in the center of the table to add the color. Rent colored napkins, they're cheap and add color to your table. Are you planning to make menus? Add a ribbon at the top in your color and place them on the table. On your cake table, just rent one overlay and use it to bring in a little glamour. Again, ribbons can be wrapped around your napkins to dress them up. The idea is to reflect your choice of colors all the way through both your wedding and reception for a beautiful coordinated look.
