All That Shimmers

A touch of gold adds luxury and helps elevate the ensemble of more casual pieces on display. The hint of shimmer is carried through the tableware, flatware and napkin rings, which were made by wrapping gold crepe paper and pink satin ribbon around a crisp white linen napkin.

Floral Centerpiece Elevated on Gift Box, Pink Table Number

8 / 25

Take It Up a Level

Pink-hued gift boxes add various display levels to your table centerpiece and make things a little more interesting to the eye. Just make sure the displays act as a table embellishment and don't obstruct the view. Add a satin bow or ribbon to soften the look.

Fabulous Frames

The table number displays are doing double duty as wedding keepsakes, which means you're getting more mileage out of your decor. This inexpensive idea consists of spray-painting a ceramic candleholder pink and gluing it to a vintage saucer. The printable table numbers are then framed using gold crepe paper and secured on top of the stands with hot glue. (After the reception, you can easily pull them apart and reuse the stands and frames around the home.)

Be Your Own Florist

You don't need to take a master class in flower arranging to create a beautiful floral display. Simply gather a variety of your favorite blooms inside vintage urns, Mason jars or vases of the same color and style, but of different heights. (Flea market finds and heirloom pieces are ideal.) Want to re-create this look? Use roses and peonies with inexpensive carnations in bulk to fill in the gaps.

Don't Forget the Groomsmen

Floral trims can also festoon invitations, favors, menus — even your groomsmen. Turn any blooms that did not make it into the centerpieces into unique boutonnieres. Just wrap them in floral tape and cover the tape with a double-satin pink ribbon.

Crepe-Paper Flower Bouquets

Not all floral arrangements need to be made of fresh blooms. Paper flowers are an inexpensive, long-lasting alternative and can complement your real flower displays beautifully. They're perfect in bouquets for your bridesmaids and flower girls. What a gorgeous memento of the day!

Easy Homemade Wedding Cake

The wedding cake is the centerpiece and sweet ending note of any wedding reception.

All it takes is a little frosting to adhere your flower decoration to the cake in a cascading fashion for a dramatic look.

Sweet & Simple Dessert Buffet

Dessert buffets are a popular trend at weddings, and creating your own sweets setup is more manageable than you might think. The key is to stick to the same color palette as your reception, but play with different heights and textures. A mixture of store-bought confections can sit happily beside your homemade delights in clear glass domes and display pedestals. Here, desserts and candies in varying hues of pink are featured throughout the table for a unified look.

Know Your Candy

No dessert table is complete without buffet labels. Continuing the theme of the reception place cards, these candy-jar labels were created using printable tags. The tags are secured to a length of satin ribbon, and then affixed to the candy jars using glue dots.

Bejeweled Truffles

These homemade morsels are almost too pretty to eat (almost). The bejeweled effect is achieved by rolling the truffles in pink sugar pearls. Each truffle is topped with a sugar-paste rose made with a flexible fondant mold.

Vanilla Bean Rose Cookies

Cookies are another delicious, homemade addition to the dessert table. Vanilla bean sugar cookies are adorned with a swirl of pink cream cheese frosting to emulate the theme of the day: the beautiful rose.

White Table Converted to Bar With Drink Dispenser & Glasses

22 / 25

Signature Cocktail

A bar or drinks station is a must-have for any wedding reception. The bar area is, by definition, a fun place to hang out, and gives you a little leeway to inject more casual elements into your decor. A piece of vintage furniture or a table can be repurposed as a display unit for the occasion. It's also the best place to serve the couple's signature cocktail. This self-service glass dispenser is filled with pink Rose & Cardamom Cocktail garnished with rose petals.
