Modern Wedding Posted: April 29, 2019

Your reception will be the party that you and your guests remember for a lifetime. Make it unforgettable with these tips for creating the perfect wedding reception table.

Keep It Consistent...

Keep your reception table styling consistent with your overall wedding theme to create a cohesive aesthetic. Your colour scheme, floral design and place settings should all reflect the existing elements of your ceremony to bring your wedding vision to life.

Eye-Catching Floral Centrepieces...

Whether your wedding is channelling a bohemian vibe or you’re opting for a sophisticated theme, no reception table is complete without florals! Including flowers like freesias, ferns and snapdragons on your reception table will create unstructured shapes and give your décor an effortless level of beauty.

Create Elegance With Greenery...

If flowers aren’t your thing, redirect your budget to elegant greenery. Incorporate a patch of moss, romantic terrariums and a few blooms to create lush arrangements that will bring your reception table to life. Also, add herbs like rosemary or lavender for a fragrant touch.

Romantic Dappled Light...

Illuminating your reception table appropriately will give you the power to change the entire vibe of your venue. Whether it’s strings of fairy lights to create a dreamy, bohemian feel or lanterns or candles that embellish the table with a vintage glow, the right lighting can envelop all of your guests in a romantic aura.

Not Just Your Average Menu...

Add a unique element to your reception tables by personalising the style of your menus. Look at options like professional calligraphed menus that incorporate different scripts for every wedding theme. Opt for traditional copperplate if your reception is a black tie affair or choose something free-hand for a glamorously vintage feel.
