Reception tables can be decorated using linens, colored or white, that go along with the wedding's theme. Placing centerpieces on each guest table can help bring the whole area together and could make a nice conversation piece for the guests. There are many options when it comes to centerpieces as far as what can be used. Couples may choose real flowers in vases with water or artificial flowers in vases with water or rocks. If the reception hall allows it, couples could also choose to have small cakes placed on each table. To complete the look and create a nice ambiance, consider adding a few small candles.
