Weddings: Table Settings



Wedding table decorations can vary so much. Some couples choose to go with the view that “less is more”, while others opt for the “more is – well more”!  The important thing is that you stay true to yourselves and choose your to decorate your wedding tables your way.

 Table Centrepiece The main focal point will without doubt be your table centrepiece. These can be as simple as a pretty candelabra, up to a beautiful bountiful floral table centrepiece.
 Your wedding table centrepiece will be governed by a few factors including:
 - Your budget
- Your wedding venue function room
- Your wedding theme
- The time of year you are getting married.

If you want to make more of an impact in the evening then add some lighting to your wedding table centrepiece. This can be done as easily as adding a floralyte which is a little light that can be inserted into your table centrepiece.

   Table stationery
 There are some beautiful options for table stationery which can be created specifically for you or you can buy off the shelf. Whether you plan to make it yourself or have a professional create it for you there is so much to choose from. Place cards can be used to decorate your guests’ wine glasses or your wedding favour box tags can double up as a place card. They can be printed in a design, or decorated by hand with embellishments such as butterflies, crystal buckles or even sweets!
 Your table name card could be a simple and elegant black number on a white card, or you could really go to town and use postcards or have them created for you by your stationer to tie into the rest of your wedding stationery.

Wedding favours come in all shapes and sizes these days, organza bags are still possible and these can be co-ordinated with your wedding chair cover sashes if you are having them. Or you could go for a pretty wedding favour box decorated with ribbon, tags, and other embellishments.

 Napkins also seem to come in many different shapes and sizes these days! Venues often give clients a choice of shape and colour so be sure to ask if they don’t mention it. Or, if your budget allows, you could use napkin rings for your napkins. These could be hired in or made for you using beads and crystals. Or, you could use your imagination and use something like sweetie bracelets or necklaces which are not only a great option for the purse string but also for the appetite!

 Crystals, Petals & more Table crystals or gems are still highly popular and they now come in every colour under the rainbow. Alternatively you can stick with the clear variety and if you really want to push the boat out check out the swarovski table crystals! These are so pretty and sparkly it is worth it if you can stretch to it. Rose petals are another popular option and again these can be colour co-ordinated with the rest of your theme. If you are having a vintage themed wedding, why not decorate your table with tiny vintage style buttons? I’ve seen it done and trust me – it works!
