Wedding Reception Place Settings

If you think about it, your guests will be spending a lot of time at their table during your wedding reception. Sure, the focus will be on you and the groom, but they will also be looking at their table quite a bit. (Especially, when they have their heads down and eating a great meal.)

Having great table decor really transforms the reception venue. It is the element of the room that gets multipled. Imagine one great table design times 20. It makes for a stunning reception room. I often hear from guests that they didn't even notice the chairs they were sitting on or the color of the table cloth. I always answer that it was probably nothing exciting. If it was, you would remember.

Table decor consists of many elements: table linen, napkins, centerpieces, candles, glassware, tableware, cutlery, table numbers, place cards, and menu cards. You ask where can you possibly start when decorating your guest tables, I just did. Just follow the elements in the order that I had outlined. Start building your table decor and just have fun with it. It will look great! Don't be afraid to mix colors and textures too! (Oh! maybe that can be my next blog post!)
