Wedding table decorations usually include a centrepiece, place settings, candles and a table number. Charger plates, napkin rings, lanterns and chair decor finish the look. Choose them to suit your table shape, venue and colours. The Wedding House in Droitwich Spa hires all of these for weddings across Worcestershire and the West Midlands.
Wedding table decorations are what your guests look at for longest. They sit at the table for the meal, the speeches and the toasts. This guide explains each layer, from centrepieces to candles, and how to make them work together.
A styled wedding table has up to seven parts:
You do not need all seven. Most couples choose a centrepiece, one place-setting detail and candlelight.
Table shape decides the layout before colour does. Round tables suit one central centrepiece. Long tables suit a line of smaller pieces, such as foliage, candles and lanterns.
The top table faces the room, so style it from the front. Keep the arrangements low so guests can see you.
Guests need to see each other across the table. Low centrepieces sit below eye level. Tall centrepieces lift the flowers above it on a slim stand.
A mix of both adds interest across a large room. Our Table Centrepieces and Stands include both heights.
Flowers are the classic choice. Foliage gives a softer, natural look, as our foliage wedding decor ideas show. Lanterns with tealights and candles suit evening receptions and winter dates.
Bella Trees give height on larger tables. Mesh Hoops frame flowers in a modern shape. Plinths and Urns work beside the top table or the cake table.
Charger Plates and Mats sit under the dinner plate and add colour or shine. Napkins and Rings bring your accent colour to every seat. Together they make a plain table look finished.
Choose one accent colour and repeat it. Our teal wedding decorations at Bennetts Willow Barn show teal used against white flowers.
Tealights and Candles add warmth for little cost in space. Group them at different heights around the centrepiece. Lanterns protect the flame and suit barn and outdoor settings.
Ask your venue about its candle policy first. Some venues only allow enclosed or LED candles.
Lighting above the tables matters too. Ceiling decor with fairy lights softens a high room.
Chairs frame every table, so they are part of the look. Chair decor such as sashes repeats your accent colour around the room.
Guests need to find their seats quickly. A clear table plan near the entrance helps. Bespoke Signage can match the plan and table numbers to your colours.
A barn with exposed beams suits Rustic Props, lanterns and the Louise Range with added pampas grass. A manor house or hotel suits tall stands, charger plates and candlelight.
Look at the room’s linen, carpet and wall colours before you choose. We style venues across the county, as our wedding decor hire in Worcestershire page explains.
At Foxtail Barns in Staffordshire, we mixed two heights. Bright flowers sat on tall gold stands. Low foliage pieces with orange flowers sat between them. Rattan charger plates and navy napkins tied the room together.
For more ideas, see our burgundy tables at The Mill Barns and our mocha tables at Crumplebury. Our blue and brown wedding at Manor by the Lake shows a cooler palette.
Most wedding tables have a centrepiece, place settings, candles and a table number. Charger plates, napkin rings and lanterns are optional extras.
Centrepieces should sit below or above eye level, never at it. Low designs stay under the eyeline. Tall designs lift the flowers over it on a slim stand.
Yes. The Wedding House hires centrepieces, charger plates, napkins, candles and lanterns. Hiring means you have nothing to store or sell after the day.
One for each guest table, plus the top table. Long tables usually need two or three smaller pieces along their length.
