Without any table decorations your overall reception decorations don’t quite do the job of creating the atmosphere. Table decorations help things feel more festive and can include wedding favours and decorated place cards. For inspiration, consider these 5 things.

Using our natural elements such as water and fire

It’s easy to create stunning table decorations using our natural elements as the inspiration. Create your table centre pieces from earth, water and fire in interesting ways such as fire floating on water or small water fountains. Try and be unique and make each table slightly different so they will be plenty to look at.

Choose to use your wedding colours as your table centrepieces

If you have wedding colours then use these as a starting point for your table decorations such as vases, flowers, balloons, favour boxes, name cards and candle holders.

Use Colour Coordinating Disposable Cameras

Adding further colour and dimension to your reception tables, disposable cameras are a great way to ask your guests to share there moments throughout your reception with them. By placing them on the tables you’re asking them to take pictures for you. When you develop those pictures you’ll have loads to choose from for creating another wedding album. It’s a nice touch because it lets your wedding guests get really interactive and is a fantastic ice breaker.

Different Heights of Vases on the Same Table

Different heights of the objects making up your table centrepieces add interest. Most couples only consider having their table decorations at one height. Using different heights will give you a more professional look.

Tasty Reception Table Decorations

Reception table decorations that your guests can eat are a great idea. There are two very different types of edible wedding table decorations. These are sweets and fruit.

Fruit arrangements are difficult because as the reception goes on, the appearance of the nicely cut fruit diminishes. If you want to look more into using fruit as your centrepiece there are many companies who specialise in this.

Sweets can be a great way to keep your guests happy while they’re waiting to be fed. Place the sweets in decorative bowls or wide vases.

There’s no limit to the things that could be used as table decorations at your wedding. The best thing to do is to try and make them unique and reflect the overall theme of the wedding. You want your guests to remember how brilliant they were. Since you want all your hard effort that went into creating your wedding table decorations to be noticed, take your time on deciding exactly what you want because it’s your table decorations that make your reception decorations.
