How to Decorate a Blank Wall for a Wedding Reception
Decorating a completely blank wall at a wedding reception can seem like a daunting task. However, if you utilize the empty space as a blank canvas, the wall can be transformed into one of the highlights of your wedding decor. Use your own wedding theme and wedding color palette as inspiration for embellishing the wall. This can help to tie in your overall wedding theme and enhance your other decor choices.

Drape a sheet of fabric from the ceiling so that it cascades down the wall to cover it. Use a soft and airy fabric such as lace, organza or even a layer of tulle. Use wedding colors such as white or ivory for a bright but classic touch.

Tie ribbon or fishing line to the stems of flowers and suspend them upside down from the ceiling at varying heights. This creates a whimsical effect against the wall and can be executed with the fabric as a backdrop or simply in front of the blank wall to add some visual interest.

Mount a variety of mirrors on the wall to make the space appear more open and to attract visual interest in the space. Use both antique mirrors and modern ones in a variety of shapes and sizes to make the space more interesting.

Collect old wedding photos from the bride's and groom's families. Frame them and create a photo collage of the antique photos. Add a photo of the bride and groom in the center of the antique photos to tie in the wedding being celebrated that day.
