Do you want the tables at your wedding to be beautiful and memorable? As a bride- or groom-to-be, you may need all the help you can get. Lucky for you, the wedding professionals on the ICONA Wedding team are here for you. 

We understand the challenges that come with figuring out wedding table decor. Thankfully, we can provide you with decor ideas for wedding tables that complement your personal style. We’re happy to provide ICONA couples with a list of preferred vendors so they can choose the best florists, wedding planners, and rental supply vendors to bring their wedding day vision to life. Now, let’s look at five of the best decor ideas for wedding tables. 

1. Wooden Lanterns

Illuminate your wedding tables with warm, rustic wooden lanterns. These come in a wide range of styles, shapes, and colors. You can use a lantern as a single light to brighten up each table. Or, you can pair a lantern with lush greenery to add a botanical flair to your decor.  

2. Greenery Garland Ties

Drape a white tablecloth over each wedding table and tie a greenery garland around the upper portion of the base. The benefits of doing so are twofold. First, your table will emanate style and elegance. On top of that, the garland serves as a sash that helps keep your tablecloth in place and gives your table a natural and rustic look. 

Use any style of greenery for your tables’ garland ties. You can also tie your garland loosely or close to the base. With any of these garland options you choose, be consistent to give all of your tables a cohesive appearance.

3. Nautical Theme

Make a splash with starfish, seashells, and other nautical-inspired decor. This simple decor helps you create the perfect centerpiece for your wedding tables if you’re hosting a beach wedding. Put your own unique touches on your nautical theme. For example, you can place a clear glass bottle surrounded by nautical decor at each of your tables. This bottle can even be used to display a table number, making it easy for guests to find their seat. 

4. White Roses

Wow your guests by placing white rose centerpieces at your wedding tables. White roses symbolize purity, loyalty, innocence, and eternal love. They can help you make a bold and beautiful statement that resonates with your guests. Surround your white roses with floating candles to give each table a light and airy appearance. The roses add a hint of romance to your decor. Meanwhile, the candles bring a soft glow to your tables and create a warm ambiance. 

If you go with white roses for your tables, you may want to use them as part of a bridal bouquet and other floral arrangements for other wedding festivities. This helps you create a common theme across your wedding decor.  

5. Creative Table Identifiers

Instead of typical table numbers, use more creative table identifiers to help your guests find their seats. For example, one wedding used ocean-inspired signs, like corals and anemones, to help guests find their tables. If your wedding has a theme, like an ocean theme at a beach wedding, this is the perfect way to tie it all together with a small, creative touch that guests are sure to remember.
