Wondering how you are going to decorate your wedding tables? Unsure about what style best fits your own style and personality? Look no further! Here are 5 fun and easy ways to execute the look you have been dreaming of. Enjoy!

1. Modern

• A modern wedding celebration should scream “right now!” Sleek lines, dramatic up lighting, and décor dripping in crystals are all staples at contemporary weddings.
• Being clean, crisp, and contemporary is the goal.
• Ghost chairs are a very popular choice to complete the table look.
• Glittery lights, urban details and sophisticated charms. Fashion-forward style!
• Fun patterns, textures and unexpected color combinations will keep this wedding style fresh, current, and chic.

2. Rustic

• Lots of wood!
• It would not be a rustic wedding without those good ol’ mason jars (scattered everywhere).
• Vintage furniture: Farm tables, benches, and mix matched chairs.
• Colorful flowers In various style vases/bottles
• Burlap table runners
• Lanterns and candles make good centerpieces.
• Vintage flatware, plates, and glasses!
• The key to a rustic style wedding is balance. Don’t go too crazy with the décor. Make sure the table is cohesive and not too crowded because, well, people still need to eat on it.

3. Glamorous

• Glitz, & glam is the goal.
• Sequins, jewels, gold, silver, pearls, and crystals galore!
• When it comes to flowers, it is all about quality. Don’t stick to one kind of bloom either!
• Heavy fabrics like velvet, silk, and sequins
• Ornate flatware, candelabras, chargers, and goblets to complete the look.
• But please do NOT overdo it with the bling! Being elegant, tasteful, and modest is key to executing this glamorous look.

4. Simple

• Low-key, minimal, and less about the décor and more about the love.
• Perfect for those that want to save money and keep a clean look.
• Use tea light candles in simple votives, jars filled with minimal flowers, succulents, and clean and simple table linens.
• DIY will be your best friend to achieve this look.
• Keep the flatware and dinnerware simple. No crazy and loud designs. Clear plastic plates are perfect for this look.
• Lastly, do not put any unnecessary décor on the table. Simplicity is the obvious goal so stick to minimal décor on the table.

5. Themed

• When you pick a theme, stick to it and do not venture out. The goal is to be cohesive and not over done. Remember, your wedding is not about the theme that you choose, it’s about you and your fiance. If the theme overshadows that, then it’s overdone.
• The colors you choose play a huge part in executing your desired theme.
• Picking the right venue for your themes is important because it will help tie the whole wedding together.
• A themed wedding can look beautiful but it may also appear a little overworked or contrived. So be careful with the décor and make sure there is a reason and meaning behind each aspect.
