The reception hall is probably the single most important part of a wedding venue. It's where the guests, wedding party, and bride and groom gather to celebrate a successful ceremony and a new marriage. Couples preparing their wedding often invest significant time and thought into how to decorate this key location. Lake St. Louis Banquet Center in St. Charles County, MO, shares a few tips on how to make your reception hall stand out.

The Top 3 Tips on Decorating the Reception Hall

1. Escort Card Display

All wedding receptions need escort cards so people know their seating assignments. Instead of putting these cards on the table — and forcing guests to walk aimlessly around the hall looking for their seats — it's more convenient to set up the cards on a display table near the entrance to the reception hall. It also doubles as an additional design feature.

2. Hanging Flowers

For couples interested in adding an appealing and unexpected touch to their reception hall, hanging flowers are a bold and beautiful move. Bouquets in pots suspended from the ceiling over each dining table can give the reception hall a dash of enchantment so many couples are striving for in their wedding design. 

3. Photo Wall

Many couples try to incorporate bits of personal biography into their wedding. But it can be hard to find the appropriate place for it during a day that's already jam-packed. A photo wall filled with pictures of the bride and groom throughout their lifetimes and their respective families is a tasteful and subtle way to convey personal biographies without putting the wedding in a time crunch.
