Table Decoration Ideas

Let’s start with the basics! Think of your wedding tables as a blank canvas, waiting to be transformed into something extraordinary. Every detail, from the table centre pieces to the smallest decorations, contributes to creating the perfect ambiance. Whether you’re dreaming of rustic charm with earthy tones or a sophisticated celebration with sparkling accents, these ideas are the artistic touches that will turn your vision into an unforgettable masterpiece, that will also act as a table conversation for your guests!

Wedding Tablecloths and Runners

The foundation of any wedding table decoration lies in the Tablecloths and Table Runners. Go bold with fun colours and patterns or more elegant with your initials and florals . Every table design begins with this foundation, setting the tone for your entire table arrangement. Once in place, the rest of your decor will seamlessly come together.

Wedding Place Cards

Place Cards are both practical and stylish. They guide your guests to their seats with ease while serving as charming accents that showcase your event’s theme. Classic calligraphy is always a sophisticated option, but you can also get creative with Mini Cards or Coasters, blending functionality with decorative flair. Turn your stationery into a seamless part of your decor! Place Card creativity is where you can wow your guests before they’ve even tasted the cake.

Wedding Menu Cards

Wedding Menus are a wonderful way to impress your guests and enhance the ambiance of your celebration. Whether you opt for personalised Menus at each place setting or a stunningly designed Menu Board, both options can add an elegant and charming touch to your wedding décor. To create a cohesive look, align your Menu design with your overall colour palette and experiment with different typography styles. Translucent Acrylic Menus are a modern, stylish choice, while kraft paper offers a warm, rustic feel. No matter the design you select, your guests are sure to be delighted by the attention to detail.

Wedding Coasters

Custom Coasters are an underrated (but impactful) way to sprinkle personality onto your tables. Add your wedding date, favourite quote, or even a fun fact about the happy couple. They’re practical, stylish, and can even double as keepsakes for your guests to take home to remember the day.

Wedding Favour Tags

Wedding favours are a beautiful way to thank your guests, but presentation makes all the difference. Elevate them with personalised Wedding Favour Tags that align with your wedding theme. Consider kraft paper for a rustic charm, bold colours for a modern touch, or intricate die-cut designs for added elegance. Pair them with a heartfelt thank you Notecard to create a lasting impression.

Table Centrepieces

Centrepieces are the showstoppers of your wedding table decorations, setting the scene for the entire reception and creating a beautiful focal point for your guests to admire. From personalised Acrylic Signs to unique Wedding Bottle Labels, the right centrepiece can elevate the atmosphere and tie your wedding decor together seamlessly.

Table Names and Numbers

Gone are the days of simply numbering your tables. Instead, make them personal! If you and your partner love to travel, why not name your tables after destinations you’ve explored together? Welcome your guests to “Table Paris” or “Table Bali.” Prefer something more floral? Choose the names of your favourite flowers, like “Rose,” “Tulip,” or “Daisy,” to bring a touch of elegance and charm to your reception. Display these on Strut Cards or a Wedding Table Number Poster to greet your guests as they arrive.

Wedding Acrylic Signs

Modern, sleek, and effortlessly chic, Acrylic Signs are the perfect way to elevate any space. Whether showcasing Table Numbers, a playful quote, or the bar Menu, these transparent signs bring a touch of sophistication to your setup. For added flair, pair them with fairy lights or greenery to create a striking visual contrast.

Their versatility is unmatched! Opt for minimalist white text for a clean, timeless look, or go bold with vibrant colours to inject a playful pop of personality.

Wedding Bottle Labels

Elevate your wine bottles or beverages with custom Bottle Labels designed to complement your theme. Though a small touch, this detail enhances the overall aesthetic of your tablescape, creating a cohesive and polished look. It’s an Instagram worthy addition your guests won’t resist photographing before popping that bottle of bubbly. Add a personal touch by including your initials and date for an extra layer of charm.

Wedding Table Talkers

Table Talkers aren’t just for Menus anymore. Get playful and use them for conversation starters or fun facts. Add prompts like, “Share your favourite memory with the bride and groom” or display a QR code to share all the photos you took of the day. They’re excellent icebreakers, especially for tables full of guests who don’t know each other.
