When considering wedding reception table decorations, there are a few things to keep in mind. You want attractive tables, yet functional, and in keeping with your overall theme.
Finding the best decorations and / or wedding table centerpiece ideas without cluttering the area is an important factor. Placing lavish decorations that add ambiance to the tables, will make the bride feel that her wedding is now complete.
Your entire wedding theme will be conveyed by your wedding table decorations. After all, this is where your guesst will be sitting and dining for the entirety of the reception. When they walk in the reception room, you want them to be in awe and anticipation of the wonderful reception they'll be a part of.
Consider the new trend of tall centerpieces either on high vases or candlabras. They add tons of drama to the room, as well as making it easy for guests to converse at their tables. For a nice touch when using tall vases, add one orchid or one long stemmed rose to the water in the vase.
Depending on the size of the wedding you may need to decorate several tables.
#1 Head Wedding Table / Wedding Party Table
#2 Guest Tables
#3 Wedding Cake Table
#4 Wedding Buffet Table
#5 Wedding Gift Table
Adding candles in shimmering glass candleholders can add a wonderful glow to the room, especially for an evening reception. For an extra touch, sprinkle a few flower petals on the table around the candles. Everyone loves candles and they certainly do spell romance!
Always remember to add disposable cameras throughout your guest tables as this is also a big part of your big day. People love taking pictures and all those shots will add to your memories of the day, and some people may have left their digital at home!
