Let’s Talk Table Setups

The (wedding) party don’t start until your guests take their seats for cocktails and hors d’oeuvres or dinner! More than likely, you’ve spent hours getting your seating arrangements just perfect, making sure everyone is seated with their respective friends/family or people you think will get along—and those who don’t get along aren’t seated at the same table (!)—so your table setup should be equally as perfect! Table arrangements are the first thing your guests see when they walk into your reception room, so you want to make sure they stand out. Here is some inspiration to wow your guests.

We love the gorgeous floral arrangement at the center of this table! Florals are a great way to add color to a table setup—you can’t go wrong with a bouquet in the colors of your wedding theme.

Napkins in the colors of your wedding are another great way to brighten up your tablescapes and tie your whole theme together.

If you have various elements on your tablescape (like these plates/silverware, vases, bottles, etc.), you’ll want to make sure they all fall in the same color category. Here, the couple used gold touches across the board to tie the whole table together—and the gold on the blue tablecloth really stands out!

Candles make for another great centerpiece. Here, various shapes and sizes create depth, while greenery adds a bit of life to the tablescape. And what’s more romantic than moody candles?!

Handwritten place cards are a friendly and welcoming touch—not to mention they help guests find their seats better!
