5 Wedding Table Styling Tips

Creating a concept for table styling is one of our favourite elements of wedding planning. Your dinner tables are the focal point of your reception, and are the perfect way to showcase your overall aesthetic as a couple. When it comes to table styling, there are five key things that we keep in mind to help tie everything together and ensure that we are adhering to the desired vision…

1. Have a clear vision

Start the process with a clear vision of how you would like the table to look. Having a vision and a clear concept will make it so much easier to source the right pieces to bring it all together. Scroll through Pinterest and Instagram accounts that resonate with you to find the perfect inspiration. 

2. set a budget

Set yourself a budget from the beginning to make it easier to find the right pieces that align with it. You don't want to go into the styling being disappointed if there are pieces you come across which you can't afford. It is best to set your intention and what you're willing to spend at the very beginning, and only change your budget if you find pieces that are absolute must-haves. 

3. stick to your aesthetic

Remember the styling should come down to what speaks to you, not anyone else. It’s great to draw inspiration from other people, but go with what elements resonate with you the most. Then when it all comes together, it should be exactly how you dreamt it to be, if not better.

4. consider each element

Consider the heights of different elements on the table, as this will help to create the best aesthetic, and help source the right pieces to go together. Flowers should typically be the tallest element and the part that you really want to shine. Once you consider this, it makes the other parts come together seamlessly. 

5. less is more

Your table doesn’t have to full and over styled, if you have a couple of special pieces as the focus, you can keep the other details simple.
