2. Why include a reception installation?
They create a stunning focal point in your reception space, capturing your guests' attention and drawing them in. Secondly, they can add a touch of drama and elegance to your wedding decor, elevating the overall aesthetic. Lastly, they will make a lasting impression on your guests and create an unforgettable experience.
3. How to choose the perfect installation
When it comes to choosing the perfect installation, there are a few things to consider. Think about the focal point(s) in your reception space that you might want to highlight. This could be the sweetheart table, head table, bar, photo backdrop, or dance floor. Once you have identified the focal points, you can design the installation around it, incorporating elements such as florals, lighting, fabrics, and more to create the desired effect.

4. Hanging installations are trending
Hanging installations are a particularly popular option for 2023 and 2024 weddings. These installations are suspended from the ceiling and can be incorporated into any wedding vibe and aesthetic. Hanging installations can also be used to draw attention to specific areas of your reception space.
5. Repurposing Installations
Many times, the ceremony installation can also be repurposed as an installation for the reception. Whether this is feasible or not, depends on a variety of factors. Sometimes the arch/arbor can be used behind the sweetheart table or as a photo backdrop for guests. Ground installations can be moved in front of the sweetheart table or elsewhere in the reception space. Work with your florist to see if using the same installation for both your ceremony and reception could work for your wedding.
