Creating the perfect wedding table styling is a blend of art and heart. As you prepare for your big day, I wanted to take a moment to talk about one of the most enchanting aspects of your wedding celebration – the tables where your loved ones will gather to share in your joy. Wedding tables are more than just a place to sit and enjoy dinner- they actually offer the opportunity for your love story to unfold in beautiful, meaningful ways.
How to Create the Perfect Wedding Table Setting
The key is straightforward: Layers!
Just as we layer our clothing, we can apply the same concept to table decorations, crafting an atmosphere that balances aesthetics with practicality.
Here are the steps to follow:
- Start with a theme. Before selecting individual elements, define the overall theme of your wedding including colors, flowers, design, floor plan, and most importantly, the atmosphere you wish to project.
- Choose Table Styles. The shape of the tables at your wedding can significantly affect the event’s entire ambiance and flow. With options ranging from round, rectangular, square, S-shaped and King’s tables to mix and match combinations, you have plenty to explore.
- Select Elegant Tableware and Linens. Combining layered charger plates with dinner plates, stunning glassware with a pop of color or gold rims, fashionable utensils, linen napkins, and vibrant tablecloths or mirrored surfaces can significantly elevate the appearance and ambiance of your event.
- Add Captivating Centerpieces. When it comes to weddings, flowers and candles can never be too many. Be creative while ensuring that your choices are cohesive with the event’s look and feel.
Pro tip: Keep centerpieces at a height that facilitates easy conversation among guests across the table. - Incorporate Personalized Elements. Handmade favors bring a heartfelt touch, while table numbering cards that align with the event theme add sophistication. Don’t overlook the importance of menu cards and thank-you notes. Additionally, a unique QR code for guests to upload pictures from their mobile devices to an online gallery will surely add a fun twist!
