Black & Gold

Nothing says formal like a black and gold theme wedding reception. If you design your decor right, it will not give an impression of a darker event but a more elegant, luxury feel. Gold makes any space feel more expensive than it really is. Have an open outdoor space filled with sunlight or windows to watch your venue go from sunrise or sunset.

There are really so many themes you can play with these colours. Such as:

  • Hollywood
  • Gatsby
  • Masquerade
  • Paris
  • New Years
  • Black Tie


Copper & Green

Copper and Green reception table decor. I know you were not expecting this in the line of formal wedding receptions, however, this is a softer approach to a formal wedding. It can work as a spring table design or a summer-infused design with a formal flair. It is a great outside-of-the-box idea for those who want a more classic look. Below are some wedding inspirations from Pro Flowers. You can check out their full article here.

Navy and White wedding reception tables are so gorgeous. I am personally obsessed with navy blue these days so seeing it in a wedding table decor only makes me excited. Pairing it with some white and small hints of gold will give your reception table a glamorous atmosphere. You can definitely make this a royal theme reception with these colours.
