Wedding Table Decoration Ideas

There are so many different types of wedding reception table decorations to choose from that it can be a little overwhelming to decide just what kind of look you want to create. Your reception table decorations are your time to get creative and really express your personal style. You can create a fun and whimsical look, a romantic and elegant look, or a subtle and understated look. No matter what your budget, it’s all up to you as to what kind of mood and tone you want to set. This can all be done with carefully chosen wedding decorations.

The main thing to keep in mind is that it is your wedding and you can choose to decorate it any way you want. You only get one chance to create the perfect wedding you’ve always dreamed of, so don’t let anyone tell you what you can or cannot do when it comes to decorating your wedding and reception.

You will need an overall plan, however, so jot down the basics of what kind of look you’re trying to achieve so you can narrow down your choices early on. There are thousands, maybe even millions, of table decorations to choose from, so make your life easier by having a general plan of attack first. This means choosing your main color and accent colors, deciding on a theme, determining the overall style, and establishing your budget.

Now you’re ready to start shopping! Wedding reception decorations include a wide range of items, starting with the centerpieces. Your wedding reception centerpieces should be the main focal point of any and all of your tables. They should incorporate a mixture of flowers or other natural elements, colors and textures, as well as lights to create a sense of movement. While you certainly don’t need to stick with the typical flowers in a vase look, you do want to create something that is special and meaningful to you.

Next you’ll need to decide on tablecloths, placemats, napkins and other fabrics or linens. Layering multiple colors or styles of linens on top of each other will create a finished and well thought out look. Add a variety of different wedding reception table decorations that will pull the entire look together. Add sparkling confetti, whimsical place card holders, brilliant table settings, unique napkin rings, digital wedding cameras, or whatever else you find to give your tables a little extra charm and personality. Just make sure everything you choose works well together to create a flowing and cohesive look.
