Lovely Ideas for Decorating Your Wedding Tables

When it comes to planning the wedding of your dreams, every detail matters! From the food served to the bouquet and yes, the table décor – everything needs to be perfect as it will be remembered forever in photos and guests' memories. When it comes to decorating your wedding tables, a good tip is to approach the task as though you're decorating a room. In other words, make sure to include a variety of fabrics, textures, greenery, and light sources and add a personal finishing touch. If you're in need of some inspiration, here are some lovely ideas.

Mix and Match Fabrics

First thing's first – pick your table-topping fabrics. A very interesting touch to your reception tables is to combine different types of fabrics. For instance, you can use simple wedding tablecloths adorned with eye-catching table runners made of satin, lace, burlap or even sequins. This is a budget-friendly décor choice that will definitely make a big impact on your big day. For special tables, such as the head table or cake table, you can use different types of linen to make them stand out.

Pick the Right Colours

Because tables are the most common element throughout the venue, it means that their presence will have a great effect on the overall tone of the wedding. With that being said, it's important to be careful when selecting the colours for your wedding tablecloths and runners. First of all, ask yourself, do you want to go for a soft, muted atmosphere, a more vibrant one, or perhaps you want to achieve a rich look. In addition, you also want to focus on complementing the setting. For instance, if you host an indoor wedding, a lighter colour will have an illuminating effect and help open up the space visually. On the other hand, if you host an outdoor wedding, you can choose dark colours that help define the surroundings.

Use Charming Accents

Once you figure out your base, you can start playing around with accessories. If your venue allows it, you can introduce some cute candlelight to set the mood. You can even use stunning tall candelabras as centrepieces. Another lovely idea for wedding table décor are pearls. If you use candelabras you can wind a string of pearls around them, or simply scatter the pearls around the table. You can give a special touch to the table décor by designing unique place cards. And finally, don't forget to include some greenery – whether in the form of floral centrepieces or some decorative garland.
