Here are some great ideas for Scotland wedding décor.
1: White Christmas Lights
Lighting up the back porch with white Christmas lights is one of the common things in many homes. Some even have the lights around through the year since it is simple, elegant decoration. Conversely, the white Christmas lights can be a lovely addition to a reception venue. You can dangle them around potted plants, tables, from the ceiling, or around the cake. Lanterns might be an excellent alternative if you are not into the Christmas lights.
2: Water Feature
A water fountain may suffice as a welcoming feature at the reception’s entrance. It does not have to be something pronounced. You can use the small, portable water feature sitting on a table in your home. The water fountain exudes a unique beauty and generates a soothing sound that can be refreshing for your guests. You can have a look at a guidebook on outdoor fountains to help you choose the perfect one for the venue.
3: Decorate with Food
Outside catering companies love decorating their service stations with different foods. You can use what is on the day’s menu to do some décor. For instance, how the foods and drinks are arranged on platters can add some pizzazz to your auspicious occasion. An assortment of apothecary jars of candy, fancily packaged cakes and cookies, trays of rustic bread, and farm-fresh cheeses are some ideas worth considering.
4: Tie Ribbons
Dressing the seats can be costly. Why not consider wide ribbons, tying them on the back forming elaborate bowties, instead of using the seat covers? The ribbons are cheap, come in different colors and textures, and you can play around with your ingenuity to create fancy decorations for the chairs.
5: Cover with Fabric
Visit the local craft store to shop for different fabrics. You can find yards of materials you prefer or complements your wedding theme and use them in different ways. For instance, you can drape them from the ceiling, cover tables, or add some flare to the walls. You can also check for table covers in wholesale, they might be a lot cheaper if ordered in bulk. Your creativity will be your best ally.
6: Feathers
You can get feathers in bulk from a home depot or craft store and use them to make feathered wreaths that you can hang on the walls. You also can use the feathers to create centerpieces such as feather flowers.
7: Candles
A dimly lit room has a romantic feel. You can use hundreds of candles to create such a setting. They have a warm glow that will be perfect for an evening wedding reception.
8: Have a Picnic
A wedding reception does not have to stick to the typical formal affair with tables and chairs. You can do things differently. For example, the reception can be on a grassy field with blankets and pillows on the ground, each setup having a picnic basket filled with wine and assorted goodies. It will be stylish, fun, cheap, and unique.
