Wedding Table Decoration - Choosing the Perfect Table Decoration for your Wedding

Your wedding table decoration will form the centerpiece of your reception tables for your wedding. Traditionally a table decoration would be a floral arrangement designed to coordinate with the flowers in the bride's bouquet & with the style &/or theme of the wedding.

Today, the decoration you choose for your table can vary from the traditional floral designs & include many other elements such as candles, rocks, plants & even sweets!

Here is my top pick of fabulous table decoration to consider for your wedding:

Candle Table Decoration

Candles are wonderful for weddings & especially good for creating a romantic atmosphere. Simple decorations include arrangements of multi-sized pillar candles, with more elaborate decorations taking the form of candelabras with tapered candles & flower arrangements. Even if you don't include candles in the main table decoration use tea lights or votive in pretty holders around the centerpiece to help create the right ambiance.

Floral Table Decoration

These can include elaborate arrangements made by your florist, such as tall centerpieces in fluted vases or martini glass shaped vases; or the more modern low arrangements. Flowers are tremendously versatile & can be used to create a range of decorations to suit any wedding style.

Alternative Table Decorations

These include the weird & wonderful, such as goldfish bowls complete with fish! Or more elegant decorations such as vintage style birdcages, glass bowls with floating candles & even your wedding favors!

When considering what style of wedding table decoration to choose, think about the style of your wedding - is it formal, traditional or casual? Do you have a theme such as butterflies, romance or Vegas? What are your wedding colors?

There are many different styles of table decoration to consider ranging from low arrangements to very tall decoration in long vases. Vintage style birdcages, candelabras or helium filled balloons. Remember your table decorations will be the main feature of your reception tables & will be one of the first things your guests will notice when they enter the room.

If you are making them yourself & not asking your florist to do it, then you should also consider the flowers which will be in your bouquet, those of your bridesmaids & the wedding party's buttonholes. Incorporating the same flowers in your table decorations will help to add unity to your whole wedding scheme.

Above all, choosing a design that fits your wedding style, coordinates with your theme & matches your wedding colors should ensure your wedding table decoration are the perfect finishing touch for your reception tables.
