Tips for Gorgeous Wedding Tables
At your wedding reception, your guests are going to be sitting around tables. And, ideally, those tables shouldn’t just be blank and bland. Instead, they should be just as decorated and gorgeous as every other part of your wedding. So, before you just put down a tablecloth and call it a day, consider these tips and ideas for beautiful, eye-catching wedding tables.
Consider Candles
Candles are classic wedding décor, and they can work wonders for your tables. Use candles in pretty holders as perfect, simple centerpieces. If you’re having an outdoor wedding, like on the beaches of Maui, and are worried about wind, faux tealight “candles” can establish the same effect. Real or not, there’s just something wonderfully romantic about a candlelit table.
Add in a Handmade Touch
If you’re the crafty type, you can easily create beautiful centerpieces on your own. In fact, some people enjoy hosting small parties or events in which everyone works together to craft custom centerpieces. It’s a fun way to get the whole wedding party involved and to make the centerpieces even more meaningful. Even if you make them yourself, however, you’ll find it’s a good way to take your mind off wedding stress and to add a personal touch to your special day.
Include Table Numbers and Place Cards
Do you have specific places for your guests to sit? If so, make it easy for them to find their spot with table numbers and place cards. Not only are these little features helpful, but they can also be lovely. Choose numbers and cards in pretty colors or designs. They’re the perfect way to decorate, while also serving an important purpose.
Add a Floral Flourish
Finally, think about adding flowers to your wedding table. This type of décor can be a bit on the pricey side, but it can make for a beautiful and sweet smelling wedding reception. Plus, you can even invite your guests to take some flowers home with them, limiting waste and reducing cleanup time.
Every wedding detail matters! So, don’t skimp on decorating your tables. Try one or more of these tips for tables you can be proud of and that your guests are sure to remember.
