How you decorate for your reception will have a lot to do with where your reception is held. Are there specific rules and regulations regarding adding decorations; do you have a strict time limit; will you have a florist, do you have a budget; is this an outdoor wedding?
You can have your florist not only create the bouquets and boutonnieres for the bride, groom and attendants, but provide aisle flowers, flower petals for the aisle, table centerpieces, a floral cascade for your cake, and accents for the buffet and cake tables plus other floral accents such as palm trees for that luau decor. You or your florist may also be able to swag fabric on ceilings, posts or tables to create a backdrop. Even so, you can still add low cost, simple touches with selective wedding favors and neat table accents such as sea shells, stones, acrylic ice, and other small decor items scattered on the guest and serving tables. (But, be watchful if you will have small children at the reception).
If your venue allows it, then tapered candles or votives will be very nice, especially for a more formal evening affair.

Outdoor weddings may allow for having tiki torches define your aisle, floating candles on a pond, hanging lanterns from trees or adding other festive theme inspired lighting. Using additional natural accents such as potted palm trees are possible, too. See our article on Outdoor Weddings for more ideas.
