Our pre-made faux flower decorations can help you save time and money on your wedding without sacrificing style. In fact, you can even use them to decorate your wedding reception for under $800.

Here are some of our favorite premade reception decor combos to create a beautiful and budget-friendly wedding day.

1. Get creative with your head table.

Let's start with the heart of your reception - your sweetheart table.

Try adorning your table with a premade flower garland to give it color and life. A few romantic candles can help create an intimate and welcoming display. Combine with a tablecloth and table runner, and you’ve created a beautiful place to enjoy an intimate meal with your new spouse.  (89.99+39.99=$129.98)

2: Create a backdrop

To further frame your sweetheart table, try adding a backdrop to make the atmosphere more romantic.

Sheer paneled curtains can light up the background as you and your partner dine. We recommended combining it with a 6ft floral garland to create a verdant look. This backdrop would also make a wonderful place to take photos with family and friends at your reception! (49.99+69.99=$119.98)

3: Curate your guest tables

Of course, your guests will need a place to dine, too. You can help them feel welcome and immersed by decorating your guest tables with lush faux florals.

We recommend combining floral centerpieces with a sheer table runner to create an elegant, understated wedding look. Flower-adorned lanterns can also illuminate your tables with a delicate and dreamy glow.

This combination works for both round and rectangular tables, and it’s easy to customize with our versatile selection of centerpiece styles and color palettes.

For each table, you can use three centerpieces, two lantern garlands, and one table runner. The result is a lush tablescape that’s sure to please your guests.  (79.99x3+89.99x2+12.99x6=$497.89—6 guest tables)

4: Scatter flower petals

Last but not least, little details can complete the atmosphere and tie your overall theme together. Try scattering flower petals on your tables or the ground for a romantic finishing touch. 

Our silk rose petals are even scented to provide the experience of real flowers without the expense. It’s a wonderful way to engage all your senses and carry your wedding theme beyond the visual realm. ($15.99)
