Wedding Table Decorations To Delight and Entertain Your Guests

Wedding table decorations entertain and direct your guests when they arrive. Adding wedding decorations gives your guests something to look at and do as soon as they get to your reception. Wedding table decorations also reflect the theme of your special day so everyone gets into the spirit of the occasion.

Choose your wedding table decorations based on the theme and location. Some wedding reception venues provide certain wedding table decorations so make sure to ask what is included when you secure a location. Flowers are always attractive wedding table decorations at all types of weddings. Whether the celebration is formal, casual or outdoors, flowers are an important part of your wedding table decorations.

Display square glass vases in different sizes as an eye-catching centerpiece for each table. Include real or silk flowers in each vase. A single flower vase is perfect for smaller, more intimate wedding reception tables. Add water and water diamond lights to your wedding table vases for an illuminating glow. When you select flowers, use seasonal blooms and try to select varieties that aren’t too fragrant so you don’t irritate sensitive guests. Silk flowers are easy to bring home as keepsakes after the party ends and don’t require pressing like fresh flowers.

Flowers immediately add a romantic feel to your wedding table decorations to get your guests in the mood. Candles are another atmospheric element to add to your wedding reception tables. Large pillars, smaller tapers and monogrammed unity candles are all beautiful ways to light up your wedding tables. Use luminaries with tea lights as centerpieces. If you invite children to your wedding, use battery operated tea lights for safe candlelight that won’t harm the little ones.

Most wedding reception locations provide the tablecloths, but certain venues require you to use your own. Match the tablecloths and napkins to the wedding table decorations and the colors worn by your wedding party. Include napkin rings for an elegant feeling at your wedding reception tables.

Have a special wedding centerpiece for the bride and groom table. A heart-shaped fondue is a fun way to thank your wedding party. Serve luscious strawberries and melted chocolate for everyone to share after the champagne toast. Select a themed toasting set to make your wedding toast a bit more special. Use your toasting set every year to celebrate your wedding anniversary.

Set up a special table for your guest book. Display a themed wedding guest book with a fancy pen for everyone to sign. Decorate the guest book table with a sprinkle of heart-shaped or just married confetti for a fun, festive feel.

Each table will need a tent card or table marker to designate the number in accordance with your seating chart. Decorative place cards are put near each guest’s seat so they know where to go when they arrive. Display the place cards in attractive silver frames for your guests to take home as keepsakes of your special day. Your place cards may be themed just like the rest of your wedding table decorations. Shell place cards are perfect for a beach wedding while monogrammed place cards are ideal at a formal affair.

Your wedding table decorations can also include photos of the happy couple. Have a professional photographer take a photo of both of you right before the wedding day so you can display it as a centerpiece at each table. Put a wallet-sized photo in a small frame as a wedding favor for all your guests. Everyone wants a photo of the bride and groom, so they are perfect wedding table decorations and treasures.

Wedding favors are part of your table decorations. Frames, candles and silver-plated treasures decorate your table and give your guests a memory of the day. Another way to create fun memories is to place a disposable camera by each guest’s seat. The guests can take pictures and leave the camera for the couple or take it home to have their own photos of the occasion.

Add other special touches to your tables such as dove picks for finger foods or martini glasses for tantalizing cocktails. Your wedding table decorations can be functional, fun loving and timeless as you see fit.
