Speaking of wedding decor, it’s all in the details. Sure, every aspect is important, but spending extra time and attention to your table decorations will make your celebration more memorable and camera-ready. After all, it’s where you and your guests will share a meal and memories together. Timmy Kader, the co-founder of one of the UK’s most premier wedding planning and decor companies 1SW Events, agrees. “Table decorations tie the entire look together,” Timmy explains. From candles to flowers, read on for her recommendations for a stunning table-space on the big day.
Tap Into Flower Power
“Flowers are the prettiest, freshest elements when it comes to weddings. Even if you don’t want flowers, you will need a floral element.” From dried and dyed, to smaller head flowers, there is a wide variety available to create a unique look, texture or shape, Timmy says.
Go Bigger And Better
“Summer is all about the outdoors, and especially flowers. This year, flowers are getting bigger and brighter, everywhere. My favourites are peonies, hydrangeas, delphiniums and all types of roses. Touches of jasmine are wonderful too,” she shares.
Add Unique Touches
“Don’t limit yourself to tried-and-tested options. There are lots of unique shaped flowers such as hellebore, nigella and dill flower that add texture to a table setting. Gypsophila and delphiniums are one such flower which are unique in their shape and have their own scents. When they are used in abundance, they create magic.”
Avoid Matchy-Matchy
“I love to use similar flowers grouped together rather than blend them. If I am blending different species of blooms together, then I prefer to pair them with olive and eucalyptus. Adding touches of dried flowers is also quite cool and very boho,” Timmy explains.
Consider Height
“Small can also mean something low. But I am not keen on small, invisible decor that gets covered by crockery and drinks. During the ‘I Dos’ or speeches, you should be able to see the ceremony. I suggest raising floral arrangement a little via a stand, riser or a slightly lifted vase.”
Let There Be Light
“There’s something so special about candlelight dinners. Make the most of dinner candles and votives in vibrant tea-light holders to add colour and glow. It’ll look stunning in your wedding photos too.”
Use A Centrepiece
“The vase, lantern or stand you use as your centrepiece is just as important as the actual flowers you choose to create your setting. Consider vases of various styles and heights. Higher options will look fancy at a reception, while a sculptural base will allow guests to keep conversations flowing,” Timmy suggests.
