Why go for the boring and traditional stage and backdrop, when you can light up the party with an amazing display of fairy lights, neon hearts or paneled light beams!

If yours is a night reception under the starry skies – why not make a dolled up tree the glorious centerpiece! An abundance of fairy lights hanging from the branches, makes for a dazzling photo op and the occasional fireworks adds a wow factor for your “special” pictures

Does it always have to be a sofa at the center-stage.. How about something fun and quirky even for your reception?
Swinging the Traditional Way

A swing is a fun way to lighten up the backdrop instead of a formal stage where the couple takes boring pictures with thousands of guests. Think Moroccan, or floral, or traditional Indian jhoola – the options are endless!

If going the uber glam route is your thing, then think no further than metallic overdose for the reception decor.
Instead of the stage, turn your attention to the ceiling for an eye popping visual. Adding a small backdrop with shimmering glittering metallic hangings makes for a fantastic photo frame!

Don’t you love how they’ve paired petite pastel sofas and florals to the metallic drapes for a quaint and chic look!

It’s time for new ideas… so get rid of those ancient lofty sofas, and think of nice cushion-y chairs to add charm to middle-of-the-hall decor! Chairs go well with big rustic floral arches which are very much in trend.

If simple is not your style, then picture large floral structures, from floor to ceiling as a backdrop for your comfy set of chairs!

Or if you’re getting married in the middle of the open desert like Khimsar Dunes Village, everyone gets to enjoy a mystical night under the starry skies. Big cabana like tents, low seating, fairy lights and dolled up trees are all you need for your big outdoor reception here!

We have already spoken about lights and flowers, how about adding another element; Drapes! It gives such a romantic theatrical effect instead of a plain boring stage.

Here’s a pocket friendly idea… why not use the beautiful architecture already present at the venue? As palace weddings are trending, you just need to pick the right spot and minimally decorate the beautiful structures and voila! You have an amazing place for your reception pictures instead of a stage.
