Planning an outdoor event can be stressful, with plenty to consider, from choosing the perfect venue to picking the right decor. For company events, there’s the added challenge of balancing branding with aesthetics—you want your event to be as marketable as possible, starting from the reception. A great reception decor blends your branding message and colors seamlessly with the event’s theme. Splash Magazines has put together are a few practical tips to help you nail your next outdoor reception decor.
Opt for Elegant Table Settings
The reception tables often catch attention first, meaning they must stand out and communicate
the day’s branding message. One of the most practical ways to achieve this is to use custom
table covers that share the event’s main message and resonate with its moods and theme.
Complement the table covers with high-quality crystal glassware, fine china, and polished flatware for a luxurious look. You can also add personalized touches like customized place cards or custom napkin rings to make each table setting unique and thoughtful.
Embrace Nature
one of the advantages of throwing outdoor events is that they offer the beauty of nature, which
you can leverage to create a perfectly natural feel. It’s up to you and your team to find the venue’s main strength (whether it’s the sea or mountains) and use it to create a unique environment for your event. Creating an event that blends with your space’s outstanding natural beauty helps achieve remarkable success by creating a lasting impression on your attendees’
minds.
Choose natural materials, neutral tones, and greenery that blend seamlessly with the environment to complement your venue’s natural features and the event’s settings. Don’t overcomplicate the lighting and floral arrangements, allowing the natural scenery to take center stage and giving your reception an effortless elegance.
Incorporate Water Features
If your venue doesn’t already have its own water features, adding a few can bring life to your
event and make the whole place calming and relaxing. Beautiful water features come in all
shapes and sizes, so you’re sure to get one that fits your budget and style. You can opt for
many small fountains, a few large ponds, or a blend of both to bring a touch of luxury and
comfort to your event. The sound of trickling water reminds your guests that they’re in the
beautiful hands of nature. They can sit back, relax, and enjoy the day’s progress.
Use Natural Floral Arrangements
While you may not likely emulate the New York Botanical Garden with your event’s floral arrangement, you can strive for something closer. A choice of fresh, elegant florals will enhance your outdoor event without overshadowing the natural beauty around it. Choose a variety of soft blooms and greenery to achieve timeless arrangements for an outstanding reception.
Flowers like roses, hydrangeas, and peonies complemented with greenery like olive branches and eucalyptus can help you achieve a classic look. Place your flower choices along pathways, on tables, and in focal areas like the entrance to make your event’s floral theme stand out. Regardless of how big or small your event or budget is, you can always achieve the perfect reception for your outdoor event with the right guidance. By incorporating these reception decoration ideas you can rest assured your guests will be impressed and live to remember the event.
