Turning your venue into another world,  if you choose a strong theme and carry it through all of your reception décor it can completely change the look and feel of  your venue. For example, go all out with a Western motif, complete with horseshoes, rustic wood elements and woodsy colors. For an Asian-inspired style, hang red lanterns, use gold  accents and pick tall, exotic flowers. Or even embrace a fall theme, with autumn hues and lots of fall foliage.
