PLANNER, THE WEDDING RECEPTION
10. THE RECEPTION - WHAT
WOULD YOU LIKE TO SERVE YOUR GUESTS?
One thing that seems to
create a lot of confusion where weddings are concerned is the Reception.
The wedding is for the couple;
the Reception is thrown by the bride and groom ‘in their honor’ for their guests. Generally,
the newlyweds stay for only a short while at the reception, then head off to enjoy one another
in secluded privacy.
It’s a time for intimacy, for bonding as a newly married couple. The wedding
guests are left to party and chat about the couple and to brag about how beautiful the ceremony
went.
The main thing that you
want to accomplish when laying out the reception is to spawn an elegant and inviting atmosphere.
Suggestion: less is sometimes more. Simple equals elegance. A few beautiful, colorful, ‘gasp’
items that have been strategically arranged on a white linen-clad table speak volumes to the eyes
of your guests.
Decorating will be detailed
in great length later in The Wedding Planner. A few springs of parsley will add a dynamic
element to a rather dull and boring display. Garnishes rule; they act as ‘fillers’ and instill
the impression of a ‘multitude’ of food. Other garnishes to consider are cherry tomatoes, peppers
and radishes. These items add color as well as beauty.
