Making the right decision about table decorations for your wedding or party can be quite daunting. Many people don’t appreciate that small details make all the difference.
The first thing we must clarify is to what table decorations refer to. Table decorations can be anything from table gems to sprinkled confetti, balloon clusters to floral arrangements and scattered petals to fancy feathers. A table decoration is anything that will give bland table linen a bit of sparkle, interest or texture.
In order to create the perfect mood as guests enter your reception or party room you need to clear in your mind what type of ‘feel’ you wish to create. In other words, are you creating a fun party mood or maybe having sexy girly theme? Alternatively, you may be having a classic contemporary event where all table decorations need to be clean & crisp and in keeping with the theme. Whichever style, theme or mood you are hoping to create, table decorations are a great way to achieve this.
If your event is a fun party perhaps for a birthday, then we would recommend using lots of colourful helium balloons or creating a party atmosphere using different tones and shades of one colour. A man’s 40th birthday party would lend itself well to different shades of blue – turquoise confetti, royal blue table napkins and lots of balloons in varying shades of blue. Whereas a child’s birthday party would be better suited to oversized balloon clusters produced in rainbow shades and finished with curling ribbon; tables can be scattered with handfuls of coloured feathers to complete the look.
In addition to balloons, floral arrangements are a great way to make a jaw dropping statement. You could talk to your florist about different ideas which will be dependent upon your budget and the nature of your event.
Wedding favours are also a great way to bring life to your tables and can double as great table decorations. Candle wedding favours, novelty place-card holders, co-ordinating favour boxes and organza pouches are all favours that can add a little interest to a place setting. Why not stack favour boxes up in the centre of each table to create an interesting display? This is also a great way of saving money for those who may be on a specific budget.
One final idea for those of you who may be on a budget is to use items on your tables that you do not have to pay for. If your event focuses on a beach theme, why not scatter tables with sea shells and sand sprinkles? If your event has an organic natural theme, why not scatter tables with clusters of pebbles and tie napkins with cheap raffia? You do not need to spend lots of money on your table decorations in order for your tables to have the desired effect.
We hope that the above ideas have given you some inspiration for creating stunning table decorations. You will of course be driven by the type of ambience you wish to create and the budget you have available. Whether you go for balloons, table confetti, petals, feathers, shells or pebbles, you are sure to create the perfect mood for your event!
