This blog is about 26 wedding table decor ideas.
Wedding receptions are meant to be a celebration of the new union of your love.
A wedding reception is a celebration of your new life together, a chance to catch up with family and friends, and share a delicious meal.
Considering all these chatter happening around the tables, it can be overwhelming choosing the right table decor.
From table runners to centerpieces and floral arrangements, the list can go on forever.
The first pointer that I can give you when decorating your wedding tables is to use a theme or color palette.
Not only will using a theme or color palette help with uniformity, but it will help with the aesthetics as well.
Another pointer I can give you is to make sure your guests can see each other from across the table.
I find it so awkward if I have to bend to the side to see the person while they are talking, so keep this in mind when planning your floral arrangements and centerpieces.
My last pointer that I can give you is to leave enough breathing space on the table.
There is nothing worse than an over-cramped table and having to feel like my elbows are competing for space, or worse, not having enough space for the plates, glasses, and personal belongings.
One last thing, keep in mind that your wedding reception should reflect your style, and your decorations, including the table decor, should bring you joy!
Your big day only comes once in your lifetime so make it count.
Here are 26 wedding table decor ideas
1. Pastel colors
Pastel colors will always be trendy when it comes to wedding palettes.
Not only are they subtle and elegant, but you can’t really go wrong with using these soft, muted colors.
This is why choosing a color palette is so important.
All of your table decorations need to look cohesive and set the mood for this occasion.
2. It’s all about the centerpiece
This is the definition of go big or go home.
This tall vase and huge white roses bouquet is a showstopper.
Now, imagine if these roses were placed in a smaller vase.
Your guests wouldn’t be able to see each other from across the table!
3. Dainty roses and pampas grass
Pampas grass will never go out of style as well.
If you are going for a boho chic look at your wedding, then I suggest using pampas grass as a centerpiece or even as a wedding chair decor.
This circular flower arrangement adds elegance to the table, then lifts the bouquet so it seems like it’s floating.
I also like the grass mats that they have used at this table set up.
This adds to the “boho-chic” theme.
4. Candle sticks and wildflowers
This minimalistic table decor is gorgeous.
I like how they used these tiny gold dishes to hold the flowers.
Every choice they made here has a great impact on the overall arrangement, including the glassware.
The candles also add height to the table setting.
5. Contrasting colors
Talk about splashes of color!
This blue and orange combo is so gorgeous.
I like how they have also used shades of orange on the table, including the candles.
Notice how the length of the tablecloth also adds a dash of elegance to the whole setup.
The style and material of the chair complements the blue and orange color palette.
6. Earthy tones and table runners
Here’s another boho chic wedding table set-up.
I like how they have used a white table runner and left the wooden table exposed.
These earthy colors and floral arrangements complement each other so well.
The minimalistic floral arrangements on the table is proof that less can be more.
7. Choose your floral arrangements wisely
Do you notice how these floral arrangements are in between two plates and not in front of them?
This is to make sure that the guests can see each other and there’s ample space for the plates as well.
I like the different shades used in the bouquet and how they present a stark contrast against the exposed wooden table.
These candle holders not only adds elegance to the wedding table set-up, but safety precautions as well.
The concept is simple but it’s functional and most of all, beautiful.
8. White and Baby Blue
Blue and white as a wedding color palette is so stylish and timeless.
I like the fact that everything in this setup is white with pops of baby blue.
This looks like a royal wedding.
And the white floral centerpiece is gorgeous!
9. Tropical decor
Going for tropical vibes or do you have a beach theme in mind?
Adding fruit and palm leaves onto the table adds a tropical element into the setting.
The woven placemats they used perfectly complement the theme as well.
10. Rustic centerpiece
Using recycled jars and buckets to hold your floral arrangements gives it a rustic feel and helps you stay on track budget-wise.
The wooden element in this centerpiece also leans toward a rustic theme.
Here’s another example of a minimalistic wedding table decor that speaks volumes.
11. Vintage flair
The color palette they’ve chosen for this wedding table is timeless.
Using baby blue and hues of orange and gold gives off a vintage feeling.
I love the color combination of these flowers.
Even the glasses and candlestick holders were given a lot of thought to match the motif.
12. Feels like a fairytale
If you like fairy lights, then this setup is for you.
I like the hanging patio lights and the different colored candles.
The flower arrangement, including the choice of flowers, give off a very homey feel to this table setting.
I love how this gives off a fairytale wedding vibes – like going down a rabbit hole and finding this beautiful setup.
13. Pink roses
How gorgeous are these pink roses?
I like how they have arranged the roses in a box, then added a few longer ones in little glass vases to complete the look.
I love the romantic vibes this table setup gives off.
14. Candlelit dinner
What’s more romantic than a candlelit dinner?
A candlelit dinner at your wedding reception to celebrate your union with all your loved ones.
I like the wall of pampas grass that they have used on one side of the table as well as chairs with different styles.
The brown tablecloth and sheer lace table runner also add to that earthy feel.
15. Reception in the garden
If you are planning a wedding reception in a garden, then why not go all out with the flowers?
These pastel flowers contrast so well with the black cutlery and accents on the plates.
The tea light candles are so extra, but they provide a nice intimate ambiance to this wedding table setup.
16. A variety of cream candles
This chic and sleek wedding table decor is modern and stylish.
I like how they have used a variety of candles to add different heights to the table.
The silver cutlery and peach napkins also complement the cream candles really well.
17. Baby’s Breath
Baby’s Breath is always a good choice for wedding floral arrangements.
I like how they have let this baby’s breath hang off the table.
The black table runner and candles add a good contrast.
If you are planning for a black and white wedding theme, this is an interesting decor to consider.
Again, having the candles in glass vases is a good idea.
18. Complementary colors
Here’s another blue and orange combo setup.
I like how they have used china plates that have the same color scheme.
I love that the light colored wooden table complements motif and creates a warm and inviting atmosphere.
19. Hang up your arrangements
Having your arrangements hanging from poles above your table elevates your table decor.
Not only does a decor like this frees up space for your guests, but it’s also one of a kind.
The floral arrangement possibilities are endless when you have them hanging like this.
20. Candles and white pearls
These candles in a pearl-filled dish give off that royal ball party vibes.
I like how they have used a single calla lily in simple glass vases.
The bronze cutlery complements the decor so well as it adds sophistication.
It’s wonderful how they chose to go with clear glass plates as well to complete the look.
21. Let’s party
Those disco balls above the table is just so playful and fun!
The colorful candles and red barley leaves add to the festive feeling.
Even the oranges and grapefruit add vibrance!
The gold plates and cutlery add an extra dash of “let’s boogie”.
22. Photo frame table numbers
Using a framed photograph of you and your spouse as your table numbers adds a special, personal touch to the wedding table decor.
I like the daisy and rose combo as the floral arrangement.
Daisies are a fun playful flower and roses are more sophisticated and combining them is such a unique idea.
I like the crystal candle stick holders on this wedding table too.
23. Vibrant colors
This wedding table decor is so vibrant and inviting.
I like how they have used wooden boxes that are the same color as the wooden table.
Even the glasses match the color of the flowers they used.
Another setup that’s well thought of.
24. Use different vases
These different colored vases add a unique touch to the table.
Notice how they managed to keep the decor minimalistic.
The flowers that they have chosen complement the small vases well.
25. Use old china
A DIY wedding table works well, especially if you have the right pieces that match your motif.
If you want an exotic wedding look, then bringing out the old china from the cupboard and using them as key pieces is good way to achieve that look.
I like how they have used white roses in these vases too – this gives it an added touch of elegance and class.
26. Black and white candles and foliage
The black and white candles contrast really well with the green foliage.
I like how they haven’t used any flowers in this table decor making it look sleek and unique.
Well there you have it – a list of stunning decorations for your wedding tables.
