Being engaged and buying the dress is just the start of it! Now you need to think about how you can create perfect wedding table decorations that will impress your guests. We can’t stress enough how important it is to take the time to get the look as well as ensure maximum impact and style.

To ensure your tables ooze style, you need to go back to basics and create a mood board. This can be a scrap book, a corkboard or just a sheet of paper on which you record all your wedding style ideas. Make this your platform for swatches of bridesmaid dress material, wedding invitation samples, pictures of bouquets, colours you wish to incorporate and even words to describe the theme of your day e.g. rural, rustic, casual or romantic, suave, decadent. Once you have started putting ideas to paper, some general trends should prevail which will provide the inspiration you require for creating wedding table decorations with impact.

Secondly, you must consider when and where your event will be take place. For those choosing a country pub in high summer, your inspiration can be taken from summer blooms, garden lanterns and juvenile bunting. On the other hand, if you are marrying in a stately home in the winter, your inspiration will be taken from regal gold tones, marble statues, cosy hearths and deep purple velvet. In order for your wedding accessories to co-ordinate successfully with your surroundings, you must consider the season and your venue carefully. If it’s ok with your venue, it might be worth taking a photograph of your reception area and including it in your mood board.

Your ideas should be coming together nicely now, so you can start to consider which colour palette you should have. To achieve maximum impact, your table decorations, wedding favours and table accessories need to be in the right tone and shade. Having a spring wedding? Use the seasonal greens, soft pinks & bright daffodil yellows as your starting point. If your event is taking place in the summer, be inspired by hot tropical pinks and splashes of acid orange. Choose Christmas gold and red if marrying in the winter or cosy coppers, vibrant orange and chocolate browns if marrying in Autumn months.

Lastly, once you have completed your mood board it’s time to start shopping! You will need to set one table up exactly as it will be on the wedding day to see how it is going to look. Remember to include place card holders, wedding favours, ribbon for napkin ties, ribbon swatches you may be using elsewhere, balloons, chair ties, table confetti or table gems, table trivia and other decorative items. It would also be worth purchasing just one or two blooms that will be used in your table centrepiece to give you an overall feel. This is a good time to take a picture too so that you can show your venue, planner or bridesmaid exactly how you want your tables set on the day.

So, whether you are a tropical Summer bride or a sensitive spring bride, hopefully this has given you some great ways in which you can create amazing wedding tables that are sure to impress even the most discerning of guests. Don’t forget to take your inspiration from your venue and the time of year to ensure maximum impact and style consistency.
