10 Tips to Dress Your Wedding Table

The decoration for your wedding table must be one of those things that you are still thinking about for your wedding. It makes sense that it would take you time. After all, this is where you and your beloved will be sitting down during most part of the reception so you want it to be as special and as beautiful as possible. To help you in this matter, look at these 10 tips on how to dress your wedding table.

Decoration Tip # 1 – Shape and Size

The shape and size of the couple’s table are two of the important factors to consider during the decoration planning. This would determine the size and kind of backdrop and decoration that you can use for the table. For example, if you are going to use a round or oval wedding table, this can be placed under an arch adorned with flowers or balloons.

Decoration Tip # 2 – Beautiful Table Cover

Cover the table with a tablecloth that is complementary to or the same color as the wedding motif. A table cover with patterns and designs can be more visually interesting than a plain one.  It would also be a nice touch to have a runner on the center of the table such as chiffon drape, wide ribbon, lace cloth, or organza fabric.

Decoration Tip # 3 – Exquisite Table Centerpiece as Focal Point

Beautify the table with an exquisite table centerpiece. A floral arrangement consisting of colorful and dynamic blooms can surely add wow factor to your wedding table. Add some accents to the centerpiece such as votive candles, satin ribbon, or raffia.

Decoration Tip # 4 – That Edgy Look

Since your wedding table will be facing the guests, you would want the outer edge of the table to look nice and not boring. You can drape cloth or ribbons on the edge of the table and add some accents in between such as pearls, ribbons, or flower blooms.

Decoration Tip # 5 – Small Details that add Visual Interest

Sprinkle some items on the wedding table to add visual appeal. Be sure to coordinate the items with those that you intend to have on the tables of the guests. Some of your options include glitter, confetti, rose petals (or other flower petals), autumn leaves (for fall weddings), faux ice cubes (for winter weddings), glass beads, pebbles, crystals, mini rose buds, seashells (for summer or beach weddings), and feathers.

Decoration Tip # 6 – Lighting for the Table

Your wedding table can illuminated with a spotlight to draw attention to you and your beloved. Aside from that, you can also use a candle table centerpiece to light up the table, as well as have twinkle lights intertwined into the garlands, floral swags, tulle, or whatever it is used to decorate the edges of the table.

Decoration Tip # 7 – Place Settings that are Functional and Beautiful

Use fine china, cutlery, dishes and glasses for the table. It would be a nice idea to complement the color of the items with the motif color for a unified look.

Decoration Tip # 8 – Give a Creative Twist

Show the guests your creativity by having table napkins folded into intricate origami artworks to serve also as decoration for the table. Do this not only for your wedding table but also for the tables of the guests.

Decoration Tip # 9 – Add Glam for that Extra Sparkle

Make your wedding table dazzle with diamond shaped crystal dazzlers. Adding some bling can definitely liven up your wedding table.

Decoration Tip # 10 – Things to Avoid

Avoid having a larger than life centerpiece that would block the couple’s view. Do not be overly extravagant with the wedding table decoration since the attention should be on the couple and not the table. Keep it simple and yet strive to make it stunning.

Dressing up your wedding table will not be too much of a difficult task if you keep these practical and brilliant tips in mind.
