Our Favorite Clever Table Decorations For A Wedding Dinner

We may be biased (after all, good food is something that we love wholeheartedly) but we reckon that the wedding reception dinner is one of our favorite moments of the day.

This is because, for the couple, it’s a unique chance during the wedding day to escape the hustle and bustle and the busy (although of course wonderfully exciting) itinerary, to relax with a luxurious, decadent dinner with their loved ones. It’s a beautifully intimate part of the day that all of the guests share in, where everyone can celebrate the occasion together.

There are lots of little touches, particularly with regard to the decor of the dinner, that you can include to make this part of the ceremony extra special, too. Taking the time to carefully plan the way you would like to adorn the tables at your dinner really pays off, as it really helps this element of your ceremony tie in with the rest of the day as a whole - plus, since we’re in lockdown, we’ve all got plenty of extra time on our hands to spend thinking about little details like these.

So, with this in mind, we wanted to dedicate this blog post to a few nifty little tips, tricks, ideas and points of inspiration to help you make your decorations stand out, while also seamlessly tying in with the rest of the ceremony.

• Menus that match the design of your wedding invitations

• Personalized name cards

• Sweet little favors (these could include tasty little treats, seashells, or even a sprig of lavender)

• Flowers in the style of the bouquet and the rest of the venue’s decorations

• Fairy lights

• Soft, silky (possibly even colored) table runners

• Low hanging lights from the ceiling

• Balloons

• Metal lanterns

• Glass bottles - as quirky candle holders or vases

• Rustic, chunky wooden table mats

• Stylish glassware

• Colored or patterned napkins

• Foliage - herbs, leaves and greenery to add a subtle pop of color

• Candles - add a soft, elegant lighting

• Clever candle holders to suit your theme and decor style

• Miniature feature pieces for the table - these bespoke additions could be wooden, metal or even humorous, whatever suits you!
