As you plan your wedding, consider the materials, size, and color of your table decorations.
Three factors influencing your table decorations are budget, venue, and style. Your budget does not have to be a constraint on the quality of your table decorations, though it may influence their size, number, and materials.
Often a tablecloth graced with a small bouquet or a candle lantern can be just as evocative as a full-blown explosion of flowers or a loaded candelabra. Do not overlook the power of simplicity but remember that when there are fewer elements in a decoration, each individual element takes on greater visual value.
One of the main effects the venue has on your table decoration plans relates to aesthetic suitability.
You chose your venue because it provides the atmosphere that you want; designing your table decorations to match the venue will enhance that quality. For example, if your wedding is in a rustic setting, like a converted barn, table decorations that incorporate a farming theme—perhaps a cornucopia filled with grains, fruits, and wild flowers—would fit the space well.
Finally, consider the broader style of your wedding as you plan your table decorations. Are there particular colors, flowers, materials, or patterns that you have intentionally incorporated into the space, your dress, your bouquet, your invitations, or other parts of the wedding?
Echoing those components in your table decorations gives the space a unified feel and helps your guests feel like their table is connected to the larger celebratory community.
