Step1
Place a large floral arrangement on primary tables such as the entry, hors d'oeuvres and buffet tables.
Step2
Decorate the bar and the counters in the restroom with smaller floral arrangements.
Step3
Use candles to accent the decorations and create a romantic mood for the dinner. Candles can be placed throughout the room on dining tables, serving tables and in the restrooms.
Step4
Use small floral arrangements or candles to decorate the center of each dining table. It is important to use more than one candle and to arrange them at different heights to create visual interest.
Step5
Consider using the bridal party gifts as part of the display on a main table. For example, place the gifts in attractive packaging and use as the centerpiece of the bridal table or a serving table. You can also use the gifts to decorate each participant's place setting.
Step6
Use place cards or party favors to compliment each place setting if the event is a formal gathering.
Step7
Use coloring books and crayons to decorate a table reserved for children. This will keep them occupied during the dinner.
Step8
Use white Christmas lights to illuminate the event space. Whether you are having a formal sit-down dinner or a backyard party, soft lighting can add drama to the rehearsal dinner.
