15 Easiest
Reception Table Decor Ideas Ever!
by Krista
Dunk, NWweddingplace.com |
Are you looking for some really easy, simple to
set up wedding reception table decoration ideas? You've come to the
right place. Everyone wants their reception tables to look
great and match their overall wedding theme. But, your tablescapes don't need to give you a headache or break the bank.
You are going to be quite busy the day of your wedding, so you need
quick, easy centerpieces! Many of our ideas are quite affordable, as well as no fuss!
 |
1. Seasonal fruit in
decorative bowls or baskets. Did you know that you can spray paint
inexpensive bowls to match your color scheme if necessary? Go
"green" - Give guests beautiful centerpieces, and snacks at
the same time! Beautiful color, and no waste. |
 |
2. Tulle fabric table runner with floral items or
arrangements. This combination can be as simple or
as elaborate as you'd like, and will easily adapt to any
color scheme. Use your bridal party bouquets as some
of the floral accents - especially at the bride & groom's
'head table'. |
3. Pre-made floral arrangements. Probably the most
simple, yet beautiful way to spruce up any table. Short or
very tall are best for conversation. Be cautious of tipping with very tall,
slender
floral arrangements on small tables & outdoors.
4. Shells, candles
& sand. Gorgeous possibilities await with this summer
wedding centerpiece idea. Do a practice layout before the
wedding day and take a picture of it when you get it just right (so
your helpers know how you want the elements arranged). Have a
shoe-box sized plastic bin available for quick clean up of the sand
after the reception.
 |
5. Fabric napkins, stemware & votives.
Don't underestimate the simple, crisp beauty of glass and candlelight!
Beautiful, inexpensive & eco-friendly! |
 |
6. Petals and tea light candles. Arrange
them into swirling shapes or randomly spread them out for a
soft, easy look. Use buds or whole flowers too (just
the heads) if you like! Make a heart shape with the tea
lights on round tables. |
 |
7. Stemware, petals & wine
bottles or sparkling cider. Set up in the middle of round
tables or in clusters at rectangular tables, this combination would be both practical and lovely.
Go "green". Shown here set up on a colored cloth.
|
 |
8. Fresh
cut greenery, candy canes & candles. So easy, fragrant and fun
for holiday weddings! Use white Christmas light strings if
your venue doesn't allow candles to be lit. |
9. Pre-made wreaths (lay flat) and candle. Not just for the holidays,
wreaths can be created to match any theme and color scheme. Simply
lay them out! Works especially well for round tables.
Wreathes also make nice gifts afterwards for the bridal party or for other helpers as
well.
 |
10. River rocks. Go "green" - Consider
using polished, river rocks as decor. As soon as your
event is done, bring them back to nature. Use a large size
and have guests write inspirational words on them as
keepsakes for you! |
 |
11. River rocks, bowls & floating
flowers. Easy to assemble and has a very natural
look. Can easily match any color scheme.
Eco-friendly centerpiece! |
 |
12. Mirror, confetti and candle(s). This
example shows no mirror, but adds petals also. Very
easy to set up and adds lots of shimmery color and light. |
 |
13. Balloon bunches. Lots of bang for your
buck! You'll need something heavy to anchor them down,
although you can purchase them with plastic heart-shaped
'anchors' on each balloon. Make sure strings are kept
long to support conversation at tables. |
 |
14. Candelabras with ivy.
Classic and so simple to set up. Ivy could be fresh
cut or silk. Candles can match your color scheme. |
 |
15. Fresh cut flowers in vases. Use
seasonal flowers from your yard, a friend's yard, florist,
or grocery store. SO simple to set up and clean up.
Give the flowers to your guests as they leave the reception
so they can be put to good use afterward. Ask your
venue, florist or caterer if they have vases. |
