If you are renting a reception place, certain linens, plates, glassware, and silverware are often part of the rental package. Obviously, casual receptions will dictate using less fancy place settings while more formal, elegant receptions will dictate fine china and crystal. Don’t discount these accruements when choosing your wedding table decorations. They can and should be considered as part of the décor when planning your centerpieces or table decorations.

Flowers are a common element for a wedding table decoration. You can choose something that complements both the bridal colors as well as the flowers in the bridal bouquet. To save money, why not sprinkle flower petals instead? Lots of greenery with a splash of color from flowers can also work.

Personalize your wedding table decoration choices. If you plan to give away favors to the guests, why not use the favors as the decorations and announce later that the guests can take them home? You would be accomplishing two things in one maneuver.

Knowing your wedding date far in advance, you could purchase supplies for each wedding table decoration in the off-season. For instance, right after Easter or Christmas, hobby stores often sell tulle, ribbon and silk flowers for up to 75% off to make way for a new season of items. Plan way ahead and purchase supplies in advance and save big.

There are so many things to think about when it comes to decorating the tables at the wedding. Money, personal taste, rules of the facility … with a bit of creativity you can create a wedding table decoration that fits all three.

Your budget, reception conditions, favorite cake and icing flavors, the number of invited guests and even your cake topper will affect wedding cake designs. Many bakeries and cake designers will have floor samples in their shops of traditional or common cakes they have done in the past.  These samples can be tweaked with a few touches to create a cake unique for your wedding.

Of course, you might have seen a cake design in a magazine that you simply must have. Bring the picture with you when you meet with the bakery or cake designer.

A Time and Place
The time of your wedding and its location can dictate what wedding cake designs you will choose from. For instance, some frostings do not hold up well in warm conditions like whipped toppings while marzipan “sweats” if not properly stored in cold conditions. An air conditioned reception hall or other location is optimal and invites more creativity in ingredients when creating the cakes.

Size Matters
The number of guests you anticipate may dictate your choice in wedding cake designs. The more people who attend then the more expensive the cake becomes. To save money yet still present a fancy front, have the cake designer bake some regular sheet cakes with the filling and frosting you want and keep them hidden. For the bridal cake, the baker can create a few fake layers to give the illusion of an expensive cake when in actuality, there is only one or two layers you cut through while the hidden sheet cakes are cut and divvied up for the guests.

All According to Taste
Vanilla and chocolate are two flavors that make their way into many wedding cake designs. After all, these two flavors are the most popular in bakeries and count as a large percentage of sales. However, you do not have to settle with just these two flavors. Have each cake layer have a different flavor or choose a unique cake filling to jazz things up a bit. After all, it is YOUR day.

Incorporate Memories
Wedding cake designs should reflect the bride (and groom) and what better way than choosing a favorite memory and bringing it to life – in a cake! If one or both of you have Celtic roots, perhaps have the cake decorated in a special coat of arms design. Off-road biking or ATV enthusiasts could have a cake shaped like a mountain with marzipan or sugar flowers, grass and trees adorning it. Many wedding cake designers are true artists and can bring a number of your favorite memories to life.

Idea #1 – If you are planning to give away wedding favors to each guest, why not incorporate them into your wedding reception table decorations? For instance, if you had a Valentine’s Day wedding and planned to give away chocolate rose and heart-shaped lollipops, display them as a bouquet in inexpensive vases. Clear vases could use colored stones in the bridal colors or colored vases could use simple floral foam to hold the lollipops in place.

Idea #2 – For a “green” or eco-friendly themed wedding, you can get away with some inexpensive wedding reception table decorations. How about some interesting sticks and rocks in a clear vase with freshly picked wildflowers? You can use pinecones to hold seating placement cards. Find the clear vases at a dollar store and spend a few weekends at a nearby nature park hunting up just the right “decorations” by nature.

Idea #3 – More and more weddings are “recycling” the bridal and bridesmaid bouquets and using them as table centerpieces. The head table could use the bridal bouquet and some inexpensive greenery while other tables would have the bridesmaid bouquets. At the end of the night, the bridal attendants can take these centerpieces home.

The bridal colors and overall theme and mood of the event should dictate what type of wedding reception table decorations you use. Don’t try to keep up with brides from previous weddings. Instead, incorporate the groom’s and your interests in an inexpensive, yet thoughtful and personal way.

Lots of ideas and suggestions for wedding reception table decorations can be found at The Knot Wedding Shop which has the best selection of wedding necessities, including wedding favors. Why not make them unique for your wedding with free personalization?

Some say the overall ambience; others say the arrangement of wedding tables; while still others are of the opinion that it was the color of the napkins.  Well all of these can be collectively organized under a broad heading , the wedding table decor.  It is very important that the organizer of the wedding pays close attention to selecting a proper theme for the wedding table décor and stays focused and consistent when planning this.

Mostly it is the wedding tables that are the epicenter to all kinds of happenings.  This is where people sit, chat and socialize.  This is also a place where people will eat their piece of wedding cake. So the importance that  should be attached to decorating the wedding table correctly is paramount.

Flowers add vitality to any décor theme. Experiment with large flower bouquets arrangements for decorations.  One way is to fit small vases inside a big bouquet and allow for the vases to be wedding souvenirs. Another way is to attach place cards to small vases that are used as centerpieces.

Strewing rose petals over the tables makes for an excellently romantic effect.  And do not preclude ferns and small trees as centerpiece options; they are no less beautiful than roses and are unique in their own way.

And no wedding table décor can be completed without candles. For a personalized essence mix and match various knick-knacks like sea shells, mirrors and translucent, colored glasses. And yes, how can you forget the confetti!

You could also incorporate funny compositions into the whole scheme of wedding favors. For instance, say the groom met the bride on a skiing expedition; then they could place a couple of skis at the place settings so long as they fit with the general wedding table decor.

A beach wedding offers freshness to what can sometimes be seen as the  same staid boring rituals- it is an entertaining venture for everyone participating in the wedding. The traditional nature of your wedding  is not undermined by the incorporation of the sea-side theme.  Moreover, the decorations need not be over the top. In fact you could use the materials scattered all over the seashore for your beach wedding decorations- these include shells, corals and even colored sea glass. They will lend color and creativity to the ceremony.

You could experiment a lot with the seashells by placing them on the reception table as a center piece, you could also ask your florist to work in these shells and corals with the flower-decorations. Corals are found in a variety of colors and they can be dyed easily.  Shells are also a resourceful option- finding them is not at all difficult, and you do not have to pay for them. Hang them like curtains, or use them to lend colors to the table linen. As a matter of fact, it requires a strong creative streak to experiment with the sheer variety of nautical decorating objects. If you succeed in pulling this off, and indeed there is no need to suspect you won’t, not only will this be cost effective, but also using beach wedding decorations can be aesthetically appealing!
