Stylish Wedding Reception: Dreaming of the Overseas Experience!
The coordination of the reception venue is a crucial element that leaves a significant impression on the wedding day.
When reflecting on memories from the reception, the image of a beautifully decorated venue always comes to mind.
That's why we want to create a wonderful space that remains in the hearts of ourselves and our guests!
That being said…
Typically, when the bride and groom are consulted about venue decorations, they discuss:
☑ Head table floral arrangements
☑ Guest table floral arrangements
☑ Tablecloth colors and napkin folding styles
There are limits to how they can request to make things stylish.
Moreover, it’s hard to determine what kind of space coordination to aim for since there aren't many examples to refer to!
Let’s Get Inspired by Overseas Weddings! ♡
In this article, we’ll introduce unique and stylish overseas wedding venue decorations that break the mold of traditional wedding receptions ♡
With discussions with planners and florists, we have found many ideas that could also be incorporated in Japan.
Let’s take a look!
Overseas Wedding Venue Coordination Idea 1: Light Garland Canopy
A romantic coordination where light garlands decorate the venue like a canopy, enveloping the space.
This creates a lively and glamorous atmosphere for the reception.
Plenty of light garlands are also placed in the background of the head table where the bride and groom will sit.
There was also an idea to hang light garlands like curtains!
The sparkling curtain gives a lovely view of the garden beyond!
This is a great idea for brides planning a garden wedding or those who plan to host a welcome party in a garden.
Overseas Wedding Venue Coordination Idea 2: Paper Lanterns on the Ceiling
A space adorned with softly glowing paper lanterns with lights inside, hanging abundantly from the ceiling.
The combination of the pop round shapes and shabby color tones is stylish!
Guests will surely take photos of the ceiling.
This might even be a cost-saving option compared to floral decorations!
Overseas Wedding Venue Coordination Idea 3: Fabric, Greens, and Lights
Next, we have another creative ceiling décor coordination.
The use of sheer fabric, green ropes intertwined, and light garlands creates an extraordinary atmosphere, like being inside a large tent.
While ceiling decorations are not common in Japan, it seems to be a staple abroad!
It appears that the ceiling holds the key to setting the mood of the venue.
Overseas Wedding Venue Coordination Idea 4: A Sky Full of Stars
A playful décor with shimmering gold star ornaments hanging from the ceiling, creating a whimsical ambiance!
While star garlands and tin star decorations can be found in Japan, a space where stars rain down from the ceiling is something you seldom see!
Since it’s a once-in-a-lifetime wedding, we want to create a special feeling like this! ♡
Overseas Wedding Venue Coordination Idea 5: Floral Arrangements in Candle Holders
Next up are decoration ideas for the guest tables.
Take a look at this table floral arrangement. Flowers are wrapped around clear candle holders!
It exudes a luxurious atmosphere reminiscent of a royal banquet table ♡ This makes a stronger impression than using regular vases.
The idea of arranging flowers in candle holders can also be applied to weddings with a natural or simple theme.
This table features gold candle holders decorated with greenery. The gray elongated candles and greens arranged along the table runner add a stylish touch.
Overseas Wedding Venue Coordination Idea 6: Objects as the Centerpiece
The centerpiece of this guest table is a silver deer statue!
The flowers and the deer statue are whimsically decorated with fluffy cotton around them.
Instead of using small figurines, placing a large object boldly in the center is a trend in overseas weddings!
A stunning venue coordination in white and silver!
Overseas Wedding Venue Coordination Idea 7: Bar Counter as a Truck
How exciting would it be to have a bar counter like this in a corner of the venue? ♡ It's a truck bar counter serving drinks!
It certainly creates a sense of event and excitement compared to getting drinks from a regular bar counter.
Overseas Wedding Venue Coordination Idea 8: Neon Sign
Finally, we introduce a stylish neon sign wall decoration.
Neon signs commonly seen in overseas restaurants and cafes look just as chic in a wedding venue.
The gray giant flowers are also lovely.
This is something we’d like to replicate as decoration behind the head table or in the photo booth!
