Wedding Reception
Table Decorations & Ideas

Wedding reception table decorations are the flourish of colour that transform a humble reception into a night to remember.

The colour and spice of a gorgeous wedding table setting are the hallmark of a truly memorable event and a signal to your friends and families that on this night, this is a magical place.

Wedding table design requires a little skill, coordination and some knowlegde of colour. If you plan carefully everything will glide into place. Don't over do the decorating, simplicity is the key. When in doubt, leave it out.

Wedding Table Decoration Ideas

There are many wedding table decoration ideas to contemplate. Here are a few examples of wedding table ideas to get you started with your wedding planning.


Wedding flower centerpiece; if you are having an all white wedding tabel decor, you only need one table centerpiece like this to decorate the tables. Simply gorgeous.	Unique wedding table ideas; unique blue plates and matching blue candles. A simple butterfly feature on all the plates. Also very effective on white plates.


Wedding table setting ideas; wedding napkin folder into a square, simply fold in the corners and place the menu's on top. The reception staff could do this for you.	Simple wedding table ideas. Placing a napkin under the bowl is another creative napkin approach. Pink decorative candle and one a lovely pink lily flower in a bowl.

Your Wedding Venue

If you are having your reception at a hotel ballroom, a reception hall or restaurant, ask the venue; if they have anything in the form of table decorations or decorative table embellishments. As you are looking for wedding table ideas, this information will give you a head start.

They may perhaps have lovely metal or glass candlelabras or vases for each table, so you'll save money with not needing to hire them elsewhere. They may include them with the wedding reception package.

Here's an example of how one gorgeous green cymbidium orchid can be a feature on a wedding table. The orchid is placed on a white plate in front of a white napkin folded and shaped into a bishops hat. Simple, stylish and very elegant.


A unique napkin ring doubles up as a wedding favor or gift for your guests. Remember to attach a tag to the napkin ring, commemorating the wedding with the bride and groom's name and wedding date.	Flower petals scattered in a centre line on a wedding table with vanilla candles. There are pink frangipani's placed on top of the petals, and one pink frangipani featuring on each white wedding napkin.

Have you ever been to a wedding were everything was white? Napkins, table cloths, white vases, white floral arrangement. It still works beautifully.
Personally I love a splash of colour or a combination of colours and textures. There is no need to for your wedding reception table decorations to be expensive. Simple wedding reception ideas are usually more classy and generally less expensive. They are also the easiest to coordinate and to get right.
