But what the hall does not seem to be without at all is a stylish and beautiful decoration of the wedding table of the newlyweds and their guests, because it is at the tables that most of the time is spent at the wedding.
Undoubtedly, the wedding table of the bride and groom takes the main place in the wedding hall. It is to him during the celebration that the attention of the guests will be riveted. The table can be of any shape: round, rectangular or square, the main thing is that it be perfectly decorated. You can entrust the decoration to professionals, or you can make a wedding table decoration with your own hands.
An important role is played by the time of the year when the wedding is being held, the place of its holding (in a restaurant or cafe), in what form the dishes will be served: will it be a buffet table or lunch in a classic style. To design a wedding table can be expensive and pathos, but you can romantic and budget. But in either case, the table will look very cozy.
Of great importance is the setting of the wedding table, which will help in creating a festive light atmosphere.
Decorating a wedding table is an interesting and very responsible matter, but you cannot call it simple in any way. In this case, it will not work to throw a simple tablecloth on the table and covers for chairs, because everything should be perfect! To date, the options for decorating a wedding table are more than enough, the main thing is to adhere to several rules in choosing a decor:
- the table should be located in the center of the room so that the bride and groom are in front of everyone;
- the decor of the wedding table must be bright, rich and unusual;
- not only the table is decorated, but also the seats behind and in front of it;
- it is good if the decor will combine compositions of fresh flowers, as well as fabrics, beads and ribbons;
- The design of the table should coincide with the style of the bride’s clothes and her bouquet, the groom’s clothes and the theme of the wedding as a whole.
Harmonious decor
Decoration of the wedding table of the bride and groom must necessarily be intertwined with the mood of the young, as well as their preferences. So, for example, if a lavender wedding (in the Provence style) is chosen, the palette should consist of lavender, beige, milk, olive and light gray shades. And for a cornflower wedding, all shades of blue are selected. The outfits of the bride and groom and their guests should also contain elements of flowers corresponding to the theme of the wedding.
It is very important not to copy the design of weddings of strangers, but to bring some ideas of your own into it, because originality is welcome here. The main thing is not to overdo it, but adhere to the idea of modesty and tenderness. The basis for the design of the table is floral arrangements, and complete - candles and additional illumination of the table.
Wedding table decoration with flowers
Almost all couples choose flower decoration, because nothing can be more beautiful and tender than this gift of nature. Bouquets can be both live and artificial - both of them harmoniously complement the table of the bride and groom. Usually a large bouquet crowns the center of the table, and along the edges are small bouquets that repeat the main one. Guest tables should have similar flower arrangements.
It happens that floral themes are the basis of the whole celebration, in this case, you can also use this landscape or a garland for the background. Even if the natural decoration of the festive hall in the restaurant is very worthy, the newlyweds need their own, original background, so the floral arrangement on the table of the newlyweds will harmoniously fit. A LED backlight will complete the chic look.
How to decorate a table with a cloth?
Without a fabric on the wedding table can not do, even if you use it only as a tablecloth. Today it is very important to use textiles for the table itself and the back behind it, chairs and other elements. If this option of decor is chosen as the basis, then it is necessary to make the design voluminous due to pinches, flounces, waves, folds - any detail of the drapery is important. After all, attention will be riveted to the main table throughout the holiday.
For the decor of a wedding table, it is best to give preference to chiffon, nylon, organza or veil. These fabrics can be used one at a time or combined with each other, they are susceptible to any influences. But in working with them you need to be careful not to scratch. It is better to choose pastel shades - they are able to create an airy effect. Before you start working with the selected fabric, it must be ironed.
The honeymoon table should be covered with a tablecloth reflecting wealth. Lace will easily cope with this task. You can use either a ribbon or a strip, or make a whole lace skirt. And so that the legs of those sitting at the table do not shine through the lace, an opaque fabric, even cotton, is placed under the lace layer.
You can decorate wine glasses and bottles with lace, add lace ribbons to the bride’s bouquet and the groom’s boutonniere. This design will harmoniously fit into the overall wedding style.
Table decoration with candles and light installations
A wedding celebration can be given an element of a certain mystery. To do this, you need candles. A candlestick or a vase with scented candles of different sizes placed on them is placed on the table. They can simply be part of the design of a bridal table or light up at a certain time - it all depends on the wishes of the bride and groom.
Separately, candles are prepared for the moment when the newlyweds and their parents will light a new family hearth. One way or another, but with the choice of candles there will be no difficulties, since today their range is striking in its diversity.
Light installation of beautiful garland threads will emphasize the impeccability of the table for young people. Garlands hide in drapery and thin fabric, and when it gets dark, their flicker will add sophistication to a wedding celebration.
How to decorate a wedding table with your own hands?
Many decor items can be made independently at home. To do this, you only need to show all your imagination and spend the minimum amount of money. Exclusive wedding jewelry made by yourself will please everyone, first of all, with its soulfulness.
In order to give the celebration a magical effect, you need to stock up with rhinestones, sequins, sparkles and decorate them with various decor compositions.
Complex floral arrangements for laypersons will be difficult to produce, but this is not necessary. In this case, bouquets of the same color scheme (for example, light pink peonies or white callas) placed in rectangular transparent vases are perfect.But if the general wedding style implies the use of other colors, then it is better to choose bouquets that are harmonious with it.
Potted plants such as sage and lavender can be an alternative to flowers in vases. You can also add candles to the flowers, which can also be placed on top in transparent vases filled with water.
If the wedding celebration is planned for the winter months, instead of flowers, the table can be decorated with compositions made of needles, cones, dried berries, bows and candles. A few fresh flowers will give freshness to the composition. For the autumn months, compositions of dry leaves, nuts, chestnuts, late flowers and candles will be good.
It is worth considering in advance how guests will be seated at the wedding. This will avoid confusion among them, which is very unpleasant. Firstly, it would be nice to draw up a beautifully designed seating plan for the guests and hang it near the entrance to the wedding hall. Secondly, prepare plates for tables, which are also a wedding attribute. Tables are numbered in any order, if there are many.
It happens that the celebration takes place at one table, then the tablets will not be needed. But most often tables are placed in a U-shape, then only three plates will be needed.
You can come up with individual plates on which to write the name and surname of each guest. The more soulful version of the tablets is also interesting, for example, “Beloved Grandmother Galya”, “Beloved Brother Ivan” or “The Best Godmother Elena”. Such signs will surely please guests and make them smile.
As it turned out, you can decorate a wedding table not only with the help of professional designers, but also with your own hands. Even the bride and groom themselves can take an active part in this. It is enough to stock up on various interesting ideas, beautiful materials for the decor, and patience, to achieve perfect design. And do not be afraid of experiments, because the soul of the newlyweds themselves will be invested in the design, and the guests will notice this and will certainly appreciate it.
