Your Guide to Decorating Wedding Reception Tables

LET US BE YOUR GUIDE TO DECORATING THE TABLE AT YOUR WEDDING RECEPTION

Wedding Reception Table Decoration
Rather than the regular pink wedding table decorations, you can have lanterns with single votive candles burning through their glass panes, giving out soft, dreamy light, and creating an ambient setting when used as centerpieces for your wedding reception. Use one per table, or combine in groups.

Wedding Table Decoration Ideas
Many of the ideas you’ll find in the bridal magazines can be easily adapted to suit your budget or style. If you’ve planned a wedding with a special theme, create your table decorations around it as well.

For example, for an Asian themed wedding, choose bold colors for your table linens, or for a celestial themed wedding, use navy blue tablecloths with gold napkins, and sprinkle glimmering star confetti around the center of the table.

Head Table Wedding Decoration
You can emphasize your head table with balloons, a great decorating option that can be tailored to suit any budget and taste. Balloon arches are very effective for framing the head table. Combine your arch with elegant bouquets and it will surely enhance the beauty of the room. Another powerful way to draw attention to the head table is with “shooting stars,” an exquisite type of balloon arrangement.

Wedding Cake Table Decoration

Cut a piece of tulle large enough to drape over the entire table.
Glue or stitch flowers or single petals scattered over the tulle so that they look suspended on it.
Make large bows using various colors, widths and types of ribbon. You’ll need one of these bows for each spot where the swag is attached to the table.
Gather tulle in long drapes and wrap with wire every 12 to 14 inches. Pin these swags into place using corsage or safety pins.
Embellish the bows with floral accents, and pin them to the swags and tablecloth.
