We have put together our favourite unique wedding reception ideas that you might not have thought of. Whether you love laid back weddings, stylish, rich cultural or ‘WOW’ weddings we are sure there will be an idea you love.

1. The Picnic Wedding Reception

Picnic wedding receptions are a totally unique idea and a fun way to celebrate your marriage in a laid-back manner. Picnic weddings can be as simple or formal as you want. You could have a DIY buffet style set up of food and a barrel full of drinks, or a formal seating with waitresses serving canapes and bubbles in crystal champagne glasses. This picnic-style of wedding reception is also perfect for the kids. What we love about picnic wedding receptions is the creativity you can have in planning and design.

These pictures say it all.
