When it comes to decorating your tables for you reception, there are no wrong answers. Finalizing a design from the immense possibilities can be overwhelming, so I’ve pulled together some of my favorite table designs to demonstrate different ways that you can detail your tables for your reception.

Vibrant, coordinated floral pieces make a pretty presentation, as do detailed place settings. Pair bright colors with dark tabletops to make your flower arrangements pop, or add dark flowers to a lighter tabletop to give your design dimension.

Following a color scheme, add framed table numbers or small votives to complete the design with understated elegance. These simple, gold table adornments pair perfectly with the white florals and specialty linen.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, vintage-inspired dishware is no longer just for grandma. Mix-matched, antique-looking dishware becomes chic when paired with modern elements. Paired with bold linens, your place setting has the opportunity to shine.

Following a theme? Go with it! I love that this table scheme is a little eccentric, but fitting an overall theme. The juxtaposition of the feathers, rocks, and gold pieces created an eclectic and elevated look.

While selecting your table design can seem daunting at first, this is where your creativity – and your budget – can come to life, accentuating your theme and wow-ing your guests.
