Linens: Linens would by my first choice for giving your reception that wow factor. Yes, most venues offer standard white linens and white or black napkins. But for a little money you can really kick it up a notch with colored linens. There are endless choices of colors, textures, ruffles, pintucks available for renting. There are amazing overlays available to wow your guests. Don’t forget the napkins. Even if you can’t afford spectacular linens, napkins in your colors can really add a pop to your table scapes.
Lighting: Lighting would be my second choice (maybe even a tie for first) for turning a standard reception into a wow and in the scheme of things it is not that expensive. It is amazing the difference professional lighting can make in a reception area. You can have uplights on the walls, (no better way to hid ugly walls or bad paint jobs. It can even help hide an ugly carpet). Anything from pale pinks to ocean blues are available. Pretty much any color you can dream up can be found. Pin lighting on centerpieces can make a simple arrangement have a real wow factor. Also, don’t forget you can personalize with your monogram or logo on the dance floor or ceiling. And if your theme is stars or moons or snowflakes you can have these on your ceiling or floor too.
