if flowers feel too busy, there’s a less fussy way you can add enchantment to your wedding reception. a candlelight wedding reception theme creates a romantic ambiance and casts a warm glow.
wedding candle tablescapes
there are all sorts of ways to add moody lighting and illuminate your reception tables.
while we’ve seen candles done in so many different ways, one of our favorites is when wedding candles are of various heights and sizes. by creating combinations like pillar candles, votives, candelabras, and more, your wedding reception can easily ooze romance.
neon wedding signs
if candles aren’t allowed at your wedding venue, you can always opt for a neon wedding sign.
we’ve seen many couples use the soft light of a neon sign to create a cool wedding reception welcome.
common custom neon wedding signs include sayings such as ‘till death do us part’, ‘happily ever after, ‘just married’, and more!
