 Decorative Glass Bottle Set

A wedding breakfast isn’t complete without eye-catching table decorations. If you’re planning your wedding without the help of a stylist or wedding planner you’ll find all the inspiration you need from the experts at Confetti.co.uk. Here’s what to consider:  

• Table centrepieces to add colour and height to your reception and a sense of overall style
• A table planner to show each guest at which table you would like them to sit
• Table names or numbers to show your guests which table is which
• Place cards to show each guest who you would like them to sit with
• Favours at every place setting to give each guest a small keepsake of your wedding

  Table centrepieces Elegant tall vases filled with floral blooms or low floral table centres are the easiest option, offering an excellent way of adding colour and style to your tables.  Add candles for a glow of light or something more dramatic such as hanging floral chandeliers or suspended hanging lanterns to create a real talking point and glamorous wedding photos.  Glass and mirrors add an extra dimension reflecting candlelight and colour to great effect.  Antique Finish Wooden Sign  Table names, numbers and place cards  Printed, hand-written or painted table names or numbers with eye-catching embellishments will make your wedding tables unique.  Sophisticated chrome holders for your table names or numbers are all you need to finish the look. Place pretty place cards and matching menus in the beaks of tiny love birds for an extra special romantic twist.

  Table linens and floral table runners As a general rule, white or ivory tablecloths are the safest option, and you might choose to add a splash of colour with bright or pastel shaded napkins or colourful glassware.  For a more dramatic look, experiment with coloured or patterned table linen for instance 1950s retro themed wedding tables look stunning with a polkadot table cloth and autumn wedding tables look warm and bright in shades of red and orange.  The key is not to overdo it by mixing too many colours and patterns. Keep it simple with just a table runner if you prefer.  And for something different a real floral table runner is quite a show-stopper for a rustic country style or a more formal wedding. An elegant cascading sweep of colour and foliage might cost you more but it will look amazing.

  Favours and finishing touches No wedding table would be complete without favours and a few extra finishing touches. Favours bring good luck to your marriage and can be traditional sugared almonds or contemporary gifts and keepsakes.  Table confetti is another easy way to add colour and interest. A sprinkling of metallic confetti gives a sparkly look, while rose petals are perfect for a summer, country wedding.  You can also add decorations to your napkins: a personalised ribbon tied in a bow is simple and stylish, and will match the rest of your colour scheme.  Top Tip: The quickest and easiest way to find matching wedding table decorations is to search by colour at confetti.co.uk/shop. Choose blue or purple to be the height of fashion for 2014 or red or orange to be different this year.  You’ll find everything you need for your wedding at Confetti.co.uk and in the latest Confetti magazine.
