You have carefully selected your dream wedding venue and it has a beautiful indoor wedding reception space which you cannot wait to see styled on your wedding day. Whether you are styling yourself or working with a wedding planner and a stylist, styling your indoor wedding reception, planning the decor and designing beautiful, floral-filled tablescapes is your chance to get creative and focus on the experience you hope to create for your guests.
Your indoor wedding reception should capture the essence of your wedding day and your personal style as a couple. Will you embrace recent trends like bright and bold colour palettes or opt for a timeless green and white look? Do you have your heart set on a colourful English country garden-style wedding, or a formal black-tie wedding with all-white roses? Scroll on to see how our team styled two different looks for the same indoor wedding reception space.
Yellow and Cream Rose Indoor Wedding Reception
A wedding venue that provides a blank canvas for your indoor wedding reception, like the Ivy Rose Barn in Virginia (photographed here) is a great opportunity to express your style and showcase your chosen colour palette. Here stylist Joy Proctor and floral designers from Bows and Arrows have created a muted warm colour scheme, ranging from creamy ivory and sandy tones to buttery yellow and mustard brown shades.
The rustic foundation of the wedding tablescape is elevated with our bountiful fluffy roses – yellow Beatrice and ivory Leonora and Eugenie– and golden cutlery and placemats. Elegant subtle details add to the laidback luxe feel of this indoor wedding reception space, including handwritten place cards and menu in gold ink calligraphy by Maria Esperanaz, and beige taper candles that add a warm glow. We love how the florist has used flower frogs in little bowls to display individual stems, allowing guests to fully appreciate the beauty of David Austin Wedding Roses.
Eclectic Pink Rose Indoor Wedding Reception
If you take a relaxed, creative approach to colour, you can find yourself with a really interesting aesthetic that feels personal and one of a kind. For example, when dreaming up your indoor wedding reception styling, rather than simply going for pink and white, consider incorporating nuances of these shades and colours that sit next to each other on the colour wheel such as peach, purple and blue to create a unique, eclectic look.
This indoor wedding reception is in the same space as the one above but given an entirely different look. By highlighting the chandeliers with hanging floral installations and switching to traditional round tables filled with Constance, Edith, Juliet and Miranda roses, the light and airy indoor reception space at Ivy Rose Barn takes on a more formal feel. Touches of dusty blue in the tablecloth, ticking stripe napkins and hand-painted candles by Nadia & Co prevent the predominantly pink design from feeling too sugary sweet.
