Wedding Reception Table Decoration -
How to Get it Right!

Don't forget rule number 1. Less is more. Tie your table decorations into your overall theme. Your bridesmaid colours can be added to flowers or place settings, table runners etc.

Table decorations for weddings are often made over complicated creating a very busy effect. Don't feel you have to go overboard. If you look at any professional photographs of wedding table settings you will notice a common thread. They are nearly always simple and elegant without being fussy. This might sound really obvious but don't forget that when you are costing the table decorations, you need to multiply the cost by the number of tables you are having.

1. Cheap Chair Covers. - decide if you want chair covers as these can have a huge visual impact on the entire room as well as your table decorations. If you do go for chair covers, you should keep the table decorations quite low key. Remember you don't have to have chair covers if the chairs at your wedding venue are of a decent standard. If the chairs are ok, consider tying the colour of the chairs into your overall theme.

2. Table centrepieces - when organising your table centrepieces you need to consider your guests. When seated, will your chosen centrepiece obscure their view across the table? If guests can't make eye contact with each other across the table they may be less likely to engage in conversation. So it may reduce the atmosphere at your wedding. Either keep them below or above eye level.

3. Cutlery, crockery and glassware - if your venue doesn't supply these, renting these from wedding crockery hire companies or tableware hire companies is normally the cheapest option. Plus many of them (for an additional fee) will let you return the place settings dirty for them to clean. So rather than buying cheap plates etc. by hiring you will get good quality items that will help complete the look. It's very hard to make a table look beautiful with cheap plates and glasses or paper plates.

So when you are deciding on your wedding reception table decoration, take your time, consider your overall theme and don't forget my golden rule less is more. Not only will they look better but simple wedding decorations normally cost less.
