Wedding Table Décor

wedding table decorChances are, you are planning a dinner reception in a reception hall where you will have to choose wedding table décor. This can be just about anything that you want and will very much depend on your budget. You can have standard wedding table décor or you can have some that will be remembered for a long time to come. Some of the choices you can make are as follows:

Flower Centerpiece

The flowers used in the centerpiece should match those that were used in the wedding. You can have a floral centerpiece in either silk or real flowers. In many cases, the flower centerpieces are purchased for the wedding and given to guests to take home.

Candle Centerpiece

Nothing spells "centerpiece" like candles and candle centerpieces can really add charm to your wedding. You can either purchase the candles yourself or have them added by the wedding planner or even the banquet hall. Candles are not only traditional and elegant, they are very inexpensive. In most cases, you will rent the candle holders and buy the candles. In many cases, you will rent the entire centerpiece from either the wedding planner or the reception hall.

Fishbowls with marbles

Fishbowl centerpieces are making the scene at many weddings. They usually contain colored water and marbles at the bottom. They are an inexpensive centerpiece that the bride and her family can make themselves before the wedding. You can add flower petals to the top and have them floating, like water lilies, on the top of the water.

Large Glasses

There are large champagne style glasses that some people are using as centerpieces as well. Again, they can be filled with water and marbles to really make them look special. They can also be decorated with flowers.

Centerpieces are not the only wedding table décor. Many people are putting down glitter all over the table. Another wedding table décor that has reached popularity lately is to scatter photographs that have been reproduced of the bridal couple in various stages of life all over the table. This not only looks interesting, but it gives the guests something to talk about.

Other table décor includes flower petals scattered on the table. Of course, the china and crystal that is used for the wedding will be determined by the hall and the price you are willing to spend. While some halls offer chargers, others will use inexpensive table ware. Table cloths at weddings as well as napkins, are traditionally made from white linen. However, you can request that he tablecloths are made from different materials. It is your wedding and you can do what you wish.

Table décor should be just like the rest of the wedding décor. It should match with everything else in the wedding decorations, which is crucial. You can either opt for fresh floral centerpieces that will cost you approximately 50 dollars each, if not more, or you can use fishbowl centerpieces that will cost you about 5 each. If you use your imagination a bit and not rely on the hall, you can generally save some money on table décor for your wedding décor as halls and wedding planners usually tack additional fees on to the amount charged for table decorations.
