(I think this would look precious in a little baby girl’s room) @ Wedding-Day-Bliss by billiejean.kovalcheckWhether your historic wedding venue won't let you bring in a big installation, or you just want to keep the décor to a minimum, we have 15 totally doable ideas to turn your reception space into a celebration that's all you. 1. Drape the Ceilings It's amazing what a little fabric can do. Keep it formal and elegant with white fabric, or if you're after a fun vibe, opt for a bright color like yellow.

Bonus: Take this approach and you can go light on the table décor and still get the same decked-out reception look. From A Rustic-Glam Barn Wedding at Olympia's Valley Estate in Petaluma, California 2. Pick Up Patterned Pillows If you have a lounge area in your reception space (or made one with some rental furniture), get yourselves to a housewares department for some pillows. Find them on sale (IKEA-style) and cover them with your favorite patterned fabric for a few low-maintenance pops of festive color and pattern.From An Elegant Barn Wedding at a Private Residence in St. Helena, California 3. Create an Escort Card Display Instead of the old escort card table idea, create a bulletin board of seating assignments and display it near the entrance of the reception space. Bonus: You won't have guests squinting at tiny tented cards, trying to decipher their table number. From A Kate Spade–Inspired Beachside Wedding at Sanderling Resort in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina

4. Hang Your Flowers Think flowers are just for your tables? Suspending lush arrangements a few feet above your guests' dinner plates is a fun way to create a more intimate space. (This tip is especially handy if you're not so fond of your venue's carpeting—just keep people looking up!) From A Murray Hill Wedding in Leesburg, Virginia 5. Make Chalkboard Signage Chalkboards in a photo booth are pure fun—but they're also a great way to decorate an entrance or jazz up the cocktail bar. Personalize it by thrifting an old frame and spray-painting it to match the rest of your décor. Drape with greenery or a flower garland and chalk away! From An Elegant Tented Wedding at Pebble Hill Plantation in Thomasville, Georgia 6. Use Table Lamps Create height on those tables using table lamps. Tip: You can skip flowers altogether if you want, but surrounding the lamps with flowers or greenery is an easy way to hide cords.From A Modern Garden Wedding in New York, New York

Your budget doesn't allow for 200 professionally calligraphed place cards? Invest in young talent—post the job in your local college's art department and test out a few students for the job. From A Vintage-Style Wedding in Boston, Massachusetts 10. Use a Table Runner That Pops Look for modern table décor inspiration, like this patterned table runner. Rather than having several big floral centerpieces, space them out in smaller bud vases to span the length of the runner (and show off the pattern). This colorful detail will make your rental china pop.

Display your table numbers or names on unique vessels like wine bottles, lanterns, moss topiaries or festive pennant flags.From A Fiesta-Style Wedding in Scottsville, Virginia 12. Make a Family Photo Wall For an easy conversation starter, create a wall of family wedding photos. Devote a row to his family, one to yours or just mix them all up. Alternative idea: Showcase your (new!) family tree.From A Romantic Old-World Wedding in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida 13. Hang (a Ton of) Paper Lanterns We know—paper lanterns are nothing new. But multiply the number of lanterns you usually see hanging in a reception space by 100 and it's a totally different story.From A Classic Garden Wedding in Newport, Rhode Island 14. Mood Lighting En Masse When paired with some dramatic uplighting and luxe fabrics, the addition of tall taper candles turns your space into a magnificent scene of dancing lights.
