Wedding Reception in Purple and Green: Make a Statement!

Want the romantic power of flowers for your wedding reception decorations even if you're not so thrilled with the usual feminine color combos? Try this fabulous green and purple pairing. It’s a groom-friendly wedding theme that’s easy to pull off, from the place-settings to the favors.

Taking a cue from the hottest fashion trends, this place-setting mixes a boho print (actually an unfolded beverage napkin) with modern square plates. Clear favor boxes put treats front and center. Go to your nearest Party City store for the best selection of candy.

Keep the cool quotient high with sleek glasseware that catches the light. Scented candles in the sexy White Linen fragrance (lit after the meal is over) can add an exotic night garden feeling.

What better way to make your guests feel like a million bucks than to frame their name? These elegant place card holders make thoughtful favors, too.

Round paper lanterns hung overhead create visual interest at all levels for your party guests. Illuminate them with low-wattage bulbs to create a soft glow or just hang a combination of green, lavender and purple lanterns for a spark of color.
