Aside from your rentals, you may need a few extra items to really personalize your wedding reception if they’re not provided by your venue. The small details can make a big difference when it comes to pulling your look together and helping your wedding stand out. Your florist, event designer or stationer may be able to provide these items, but if not, you could DIY a few of them of them or buy the rest in bulk. Reference our checklist below for all the essentials, then click any highlighted items to get shoppable inspiration for the category. Bonus: Most of these things are readily available on Amazon or our affordable The Knot Wedding Shop.
