Reception Inspiration

Researching a few Wedding Hire sites has been interesting.

The prices of Marquees are horrible! We currently own a 3mx3m Marquee (which we scored for free) but it's looking a little bit sad (read: Hole in roof).

I have checked a few stores for these, or 3mx6m Marquees for the engagement party and while on Ebay I stumbled across these (3mx9m!):

Would you like to know the price INCLUDING postage?

Around AU$200 (max).

Did you know that is cheaper than hiring a Marquee of this size?

I started to research the set up of the marquees on TheKnot.com

Long Tables? Round Tables? Lots of Fairy Lights? Lanterns?

There are so many options!

Above are a few of my favourites.

Budget Centre Pieces #1

I would love your opinions in regards to these worked into the reception decor.

These are the KaiserCraft "Love" plaques/decorations.

They stand up by themselves, and are 26cm x 28cm.

They work out to $10ea retail, but I am lucky enough to be able to get them for $5ea.

I think these would look beautiful painted white, maybe with some sort of flowers attached to the tops, on the reception tables between vases/candles etc.

What are your thoughts?
