How To Create The Perfect Wedding Table Decorations
When choosing your wedding table decorations and wedding accessories, it is worth taking the time to get the look right; you want your guests to be bowled over when they enter your reception room because your tables ooze stylish and co-ordinated design.
To ensure your tables ooze style, you need to go back to basics and create a mood board. This can be a scrap book, a corkboard or just a sheet of paper on which you record all your wedding style ideas. Make this your platform for swatches of bridesmaid dress material, wedding invitation samples, pictures of bouquets, colours you wish to incorporate and even words to describe the theme of your day e.g. rural, rustic, casual or romantic, suave, decadent. Once you have started putting ideas to paper, some general trends should prevail which will provide the inspiration you require for creating wedding table decorations with impact.
The next point to consider is when and where your event will be taking place. If your event is taking place in country pub in high summer, your inspiration can be taken from summer blooms, garden lanterns, bunting and gingham. Alternatively, if you are marrying in a stately home in the winter, your inspiration will be taken from regal gold tones, marble statues, cosy hearths and deep purple velvet. In order for your wedding accessories to co-ordinate successfully with your surroundings, you must consider the season and your venue carefully. If you are permitted, it might be worth taking a photograph of your venue and including it in your mood board.
Once your ideas are coming together nicely, you can start to consider which colour palette will be right for you. To achieve maximum impact, your table decorations, wedding favours and table accessories need to be in the right tone and shade. If your event is in the spring, use the seasonal greens, soft pinks & bright daffodil yellows as your starting point. If your event is taking place in the summer, be inspired by hot tropical pinks mixed with orange. Choose Christmas reds and green if marrying in the winter or burnished copper, gold and orange if marrying in the Autumn.
Lastly, once you have completed your mood board it’s time to start shopping! You will need to set one table up exactly as it will be on the wedding day to see how it is going to look. Remember to include place card holders, wedding favours, ribbon for napkin ties, ribbon swatches you may be using elsewhere, balloons, chair ties, table confetti or table gems, table trivia and other decorative items. It would also be worth purchasing just one or two blooms that will be used in your table centrepiece to give you an overall feel. This is a good time to take a picture too so that you can show your venue, planner or bridesmaid exactly how you want your tables set on the day.
Hopefully this has given you some great ways in which you can create amazing wedding tables that have incredible impact on your guests. Don’t forget to consider all variables when selecting your table accessories to ensure everything blends together perfectly. Equally, remember to take your inspiration from your venue and the time of year and you won’t go far wrong!
