Table Decoration

While as a bride, you are the focus of every guest's attention, the table centre pieces will also hold their attention at the reception which could last for hours with no end. You would want to decorate the centre pieces in a way that reflects your individual taste and blend with the theme of your wedding; at the same time, the table pieces need to be creative and bring out the grandeur of the event.

Wedding centre pieces are no longer simple flower arrangements; couples today are opting for unique ideas that expresses their personal style while at the same time conveys their feelings for the occasion. There are many ideas that can be used when decorating the tables:

Individual wedding Cakes

How about placing small wedding cakes at every table rather than have the customary multi-tiered cake at a special table. This is a great way to add the element of personal touch, with every guest table given an individual cake.

Personalized  Guest Table

This idea works once you have decided the seating arrangement. You can have a photo strip made of all the guests of a particular table and place it decoratively on the table. Having the names written of the guests of a table in beautiful calligraphy and placed on the table amidst a delicate flower arrangement is also a great idea.

Opting for Sight Lines

          The latest buzz in wedding decoration, having sight lines on the table means arranging the centre pieces in a way that the guests at that table can all see and speak to each other. This would require having low rise arrangements on the table, or very tall yet sleek vases. A unique way to decorate without obstructing conversation would be to suspend decorative arrangements from the ceiling rather than placing them on table. 

Accessorize with Elegance

Candles can make any setting look romantic. There are many types of candles in various shapes, sizes and aroma which can give the table a magical feel. Vases make for another type of elegant centre pieces; you can decorate the taller vases with underwater lights or have floating flowers in smaller, wider vases. Not a single aspect of a wedding can do without flowers; you can have flowers adorn the table in different arrangements, or have petals sprinkled around the other table pieces to create an elegant look for the table.

If you want to be even more creative, how about placing a clear bowl of water with a couple of goldfish at the table. There is sure to be a lively conversation floating around the table amid the sight of fishes swimming in the centre.

There are so many things one can do to decorate the wedding tables. You can coordinate the look of the table with the wedding theme by incorporating some element of the theme to the table decoration. It could be theme colour, the design of your dress, or a general reflection of your style. Go ahead, create a centre piece that conveys it all.
