Creating the perfect wedding atmosphere often comes down to those little details that make your event feel uniquely yours. While planning your reception, don’t overlook the opportunity to make your round tables shine.
These tables aren’t just functional; they’re moments to display your style. Thoughtfully decorated round tables can add elegance, warmth, or even a touch of drama to your reception. Here are a few beautifully practical tips for styling them, with inspiration to help you pull off your vision.
Go Big with Tall Centerpieces
Tall centerpieces are a show-stopper and an easy way to add dimension to your tablescape. Opt for arrangements with height to draw the eye upward, creating an elegant, lofty effect.
Picture towering gold or silver vases overflowing with seasonal blooms, pampas grass, or greenery. Orchids, lilies, or cascading roses are fantastic flower options for this style.
For a romantic evening reception under a sailcloth or clear tent, consider adding soft lighting to your tall centerpieces; hanging tea lights or small lanterns intertwined in the arrangement can make the tables sparkle.
Keep in mind, however, to balance height with functionality. The arrangements should be narrow enough at the base that they don’t block guests’ views. A great table design ensures your guests can still connect with one another.
Introduce Foliage Garlands
For a fresh and versatile decor option, foliage garlands bring a natural, sophisticated touch to your round tables. Start with greenery like seeded eucalyptus, Italian ruscus, or ivy, and lay it out in circular rings around a centerpiece. Mix in elements like olive leaves, magnolia branches, or dried florals for a more textured look.
To elevate the natural greenery, consider inserting pillar, floating, or votive candles throughout the garland for a soft, romantic glow. This approach works exceptionally well if your wedding leans toward a rustic or garden-inspired theme in the picturesque New England outdoors.
With our gorgeous wood tables, the natural tones of greenery strike a perfect balance. Add our vintage or modern tableware for an understated, yet complete, design.
Add Drama with Table Runners
Table runners are a quick and effective way to add texture, color, and personality to your round tables. A sheer runner in chiffon or gauze softly drapes across the table, adding a flowing, romantic effect. Pair this with a sandy neutral or blush linen underneath for an ethereal, layered look.
For couples with an eye for the dramatic, consider bold runners in velvet or metallic tones, offering a rich pop of color. Deep emerald green, navy, or even a subtle gold work wonderfully for evening weddings. Alternatively, a patterned runner – think floral prints or playful stripes – can bring energy and whimsy to your decor.
Sperry Tents Seacoast has an impressive selection of linens in various textures, colors, and patterns to make these ideas a reality. Our experts can help you select the perfect combination to match your theme and vision.
Tie It All Together
No matter which approach you choose, the finishing touches make all the difference. Place settings, glassware, and napkins to add polish to your design. Gold-rimmed chargers and sparkling crystal goblets, for instance, can enhance a formal look, while minimalist flatware and earthenware plates suit a rustic setting. Sperry Tents Seacoast offers a wide variety of tableware rentals to help every detail on your round tables come together seamlessly.
Your round tables aren’t just where guests will gather; they’re where they’ll laugh, toast, and make memories. With thoughtful decor, your tables can do more than serve a purpose – they can set the tone for your entire celebration. Whether it’s through towering centerpieces, lush greenery garlands, or show-stopping table runners, there’s no shortage of ways to make your round tables unforgettable.
