Read on for more information about how to style your wedding table decor to create an ambiance that is unforgettable.
What Is Wedding Table Decor?
Wedding table decor includes all of the elements that come together to create the look and feel of the tables at your reception. It’s more than just plates and utensils–your decor sets the tone for your celebration. By layering centerpieces, greenery, floral accents, votives, and tableware, you can make a tablescape that truly reflects who you and your betrothed are, and enhance your wedding.
Remember, you set the tone so whether you’re going for timeless elegance, modern minimalism, or something unique and quirky, the right table decor can make your vision come to life. Crystal Events offers everything you need to design your dream wedding tables!
Centerpieces: The Focal Point of Your Tablescape
The centerpiece is the star of your table decor, drawing attention and setting the overall tone for your design. At Crystal Event Rentals, you can choose from a variety of options, including statement pieces, floral arrangements, or modern geometric designs.
Styling Tip:
Opt for centerpieces that align with your wedding’s theme. For example, a rustic wedding might feature wooden accents and soft greenery, while a glamorous affair could incorporate tall candelabras or glittering crystal details. Remember to balance height and size to ensure your guests can still see and talk across the table.
Greenery: Adding Texture and Elegance
Greenery is a versatile and affordable way to add texture, color, and life to your wedding tablescape. From garlands running down the center of long tables to small sprigs tucked into napkin rings, greenery can complement any theme.
Styling Tip:
Mix greenery with metallic or wood accents to create depth and dimension. Crystal Event Rentals’ collection includes beautifully designed greenery pieces that are perfect for adding a fresh yet polished touch to your tablescape.
Floral Accents: Real or Artificial?
Floral accents are a classic choice for wedding table decor, but many couples are now opting for high-quality artificial flowers (or “permanent botanicals”) instead of real ones. Why? Artificial flowers are cost-effective, eco-friendly, and last the entire event without wilting. Plus, they allow for more flexibility in colors and designs.
Styling Tip:
Use artificial florals to create lush arrangements without the worry of maintenance. Crystal Event Rentals offers stunning artificial floral arrangements that look as beautiful as the real thing, ensuring your tablescape stays perfect throughout the day and into the night.
Votive Candle Holders: Soft Lighting for a Romantic Glow
Nothing sets the mood like the soft glow of candlelight. Votive candles are a simple yet impactful addition to any wedding table decor, adding warmth and elegance. Crystal Event Rentals provides a range of votive candle options that pair perfectly with any style.
Styling Tip:
Cluster votive candles in groups of three or five for a balanced, intimate look. For added texture, mix and match different candle holders, such as glass, gold, or vintage-inspired designs, to complement your theme.
Charger Plates: The Foundation of Your Place Setting
Charger plates are more than just a practical base for your dinnerware—they’re a key design element that can tie your entire tablescape together. From classic gold chargers to modern geometric designs, Crystal Event Rentals has a variety of styles to suit your aesthetic.
Styling Tip:
Use chargers to introduce metallic accents or pops of color to your table. Pair them with matching flatware and glassware for a cohesive, polished look that elevates your overall design.
Napkins and Linens: Adding Texture and Personality
Don’t overlook the importance of linens in your tablescape design. Tablecloths, runners, and napkins are foundational elements that can add texture, color, and interest. At Crystal Event Rentals, you’ll find everything from classic white linens to bold, patterned napkins that make a statement.
Styling Tip:
Experiment with creative napkin folds or add embellishments like napkin rings or sprigs of greenery for a personalized touch. Layering linens with table runners in complementary colors or textures can also add depth to your tablescape.
Table Signage: Personalized and Functional Decor
Custom table signage is both decorative and functional, guiding guests to their seats while enhancing the overall aesthetic. Whether it’s elegant table numbers, menu cards, or fun signs that reflect your personality, signage is a subtle yet impactful way to complete your tablescape.
Styling Tip:
Incorporate signs that match the theme of your wedding. For a playful touch, consider adding photos or personal details, such as childhood pictures for table numbers. Crystal Event Rentals offers customizable signage that pairs beautifully with any design.
