Surprisingly Beautiful Ultraviolet Wedding Reception Decor Inspiration

Ultraviolet Wedding Reception Decor that won't look like Barney the dinosaur!

If you're planning a wedding for yourself or someone else who wants to incorporate purple into the wedding colors –without it looking like a Barney wedding– we've got you dialed in.  

Do you know that purple goes by a different name? Ultraviolet is the trendy new name that makes it marketable. Whatever, it's still purple!  I've found that people have strong feelings about purple. They either love or revile the color of bruises! Before Barney the Dinosaur and his annoying song hit the scene, I wore purple often. At least until everyone decided it was hilarious to be a snarky clown making remark about how Barney and I would make a great couple. Mmkay... Before that ridiculous dinosaur came on the scene with his suit, purple was a normal beautiful color completely free from animosity. Purple, just like all bold colors, when used in moderation, is luxurious! After all, it's the color of royalty. 

If you're new to this series, click the big black button below to get to the beginning. You'll find another button that'll bring you back here to check out the wedding table decor, centerpieces, place-settings, favors, and a few DIY decor ideas that'll shave costs of the  wedding budget. 

READ PART One
Ideas for decorating a wedding reception table with wine and chalkboard sign table names named after favorite wineries

 Wedding RECEPTION decorations


Creating a dramatic impact throughout the room, the floral centerpieces alternated between short and tall. Each table included a bottle of wine that also matched the table names which were named after the couples favorite California wineries. Unscented tea-light candles illuminated the ballroom giving it a romantic ambiance that felt warm and cozy.


The silver trays in the photo below, came from Dollar Tree and were painted with chalk spray paint. A chalk pen, not regular chalk, was used to pen the table names. The tea-lights also came from Dollar Tree. 

Affordable DIY sign for wedding table name. Silver trays painted with chalk paint.

Look closely, the wedding favors are placed above the place settings. Each translucent box holds a silver customized wine stopper and is tied with a delicate bow made from sheer ribbon.

Alternating heights of short and tall centerpieces can add dimension to a room.

Staggering ultraviolet wedding centerpieces


The centerpieces alternated between short and tall creating a dramatic impact throughout the room. All of the flower arrangements are beautiful; my favorite one of all is the tall champagne glass shaped vases. To dress those up for the big day, a band of rhinestones were hot glued towards the top of the rim.

 Ultraviolet Wedding Reception Decor ideas for a wedding sweetheart table

Sweetheart table for the two love birds


The couples sweetheart table included handmade touches with customized the Mr & Mrs lettered swag draped across the front. Customized His & Hers burlap seat covers, also handmade, laid across the back of the couples chairs.

All the little details are charming and cute on their own, but the centerpiece with the vibrant shades of purple, ultraviolet, green, and orchid bring life into this corner.

His & hers wedding cakes


I love how the cakes incorporated the couples individuality into the reception.  

My brother, a lifelong fan of the SF Giants, had his grooms cake decorated to look like a baseball, while the bride opted for a traditional tiered wedding cake topped with more of those gorgeous flowers.

Throughout dinner, the dance floor remained lit with the couples initials written using a classic calligraphic font. 

Decorating the dance floor with initials is a nice way to personalize a wedding reception

Another fun surprise-is the twist the couple gave to the traditional desert table here with a milk and cookies bar.


It's perfect for guests who might like a small snack in between busting grooves on the dance floor. Have you noticed the ultraviolet lighting used in a few strategic areas of the reception like here behind the cookie bar?

TRY a milk and cookies bar instead of a traditional desert table. This is a unique wedding idea.

No detail went overlooked . . .

Photos by ABM photography captured shots of beauty along with ones full of personality too.

The hole in one shot is fitting of Elliot & Christinas personality and a great conclusion to a beautiful, but hot, wedding day in southern California.

As I was looking through older photos I found this As I was looking through older photos I found this one. Isn't it a bit cray-cray how we forget some little something-something that we did and loved but don't recall that little something? Are ya following me in all this fractured gibberish? 🤣 Well, the stacked baskets are that little something-something I loved and totally forgot about. I also forgot that I had every intention on giving these baskets a new finish. They're a bit too orangey don't you think? This is from last year's fall home tour. If you're still going fall decor strong in your home, you can still get inspiration for it by clicking the link in my profile. The season has changed here in The Last Frontier and it's too gray out for my liking so all things twinkle and wintery is starting this evening. 🎄❤️.
