Decoration of the wedding table of the bride and groom

The perception of the whole festive celebration largely depends on the design of the wedding table of the bride and groom. To create a design for a place that will be in the spotlight throughout the evening, it is easiest to turn to the services of professionals. But if the bride and groom or other members of their families are capable of realizing this beauty with their own hands, then they have a great chance to give free rein to their own imagination and realize their creative ideas.

What the design of the wedding table will be, largely depends on the season. You can arrange a holiday in the open air or in a warm room, which suggests the use of certain methods of creating the atmosphere.

The scope of the event is also important. The organization of a modest buffet reception is one thing, and the full-fledged feast for the whole world is another. Entourage can be done both expensively and modestly.

To create a cozy atmosphere, the very approach to business is important.

• The place of the bride and groom is placed in the center - it should be visible from any corner of the banquet hall.
• The table of the newlyweds must be decoratively highlighted so that it attracts attention.
• You need to decorate not only the table itself of the young, but also the space in front of it, as well as behind.
• When designing, it is important to maintain unity of style. Decor elements must be combined with the dress and the bride’s bouquet, the groom’s suit, themed shades and wedding attributes.
• Certain elements in the design of the central table should overlap with the decor on the tables of the invited.

So, many consider the presence of such attributes as a wedding loaf, bottles of champagne and vodka, as well as originally decorated glasses of the newlyweds to be mandatory.

In western Russia, table decoration is often made a composition of a bouquet of rye or wheat, decorated with a red ribbon, as well as two wooden spoons and viburnum. In other regions, they offer their own symbolic signs for a wedding.

The decor of the wedding table should match the mood of the young. You can emphasize the atmosphere of tenderness and restraint in the design. To do this, you can choose the appropriate colors such as blue or peach.

Lovers of splendor can choose a design in bright colors with appropriate decorations and attributes.

It is simply impossible to do without flowers in decorating a festive table for a wedding. A widespread option is when the main bouquet is placed in the center, and its modest “copies” are placed on other tables.

The background can also be decorated with appropriate colors. For this, flower garlands, for example, are suitable. In winter, conifers with cones can be used to create a composition around the wedding table.

Fresh flowers can be replaced with artificial ones, for example, from plastic, fabric or paper. If you highlight them with LED lamps, you can give the composition a rich and sophisticated look.

When creating bouquets and flower decorations, it is important not to overdo it with additions such as ribbons and beads. This can make such decoration too heavy, or even completely tasteless.

As for the use of specific varieties of flowers, lately traditional roses and lilies are increasingly out of fashion. If you use them, then not in the form of familiar bouquets in vases, but as an addition to a curly branch on the table.

Textile decoration sometimes becomes the basis for creating the entire composition of the wedding table. Fabrics make up the space behind the young, a table and chairs. The volume is set using various flounces and folds, emphasizing the features of the fabric and its beauty. Drapery can play a key role in perceiving the place where young people sit.

To create airiness, you can use fabrics such as nylon, organza, chiffon and the like. Natural fabrics such as linen or cotton will be good. Sometimes even burlap is used. It perfectly complements the atmosphere of the wedding table, decorated in a rustic style in accordance with the general theme of the wedding.

For a table that is decorated in a classic version, a lace cloth is more suitable. The lace fabric looks very elegant, especially if you make a "skirt" for the table from it. Under such material is usually placed another, acting as the bottom layer. Thanks to this table it is more convenient to use, and through the lace you can’t see the legs of the seated.

When choosing lace fabric as the main one, care must be taken to ensure that lace elements are present both in the design of the bride’s bouquet and in the decor of young glasses.

If you want the use of lace to go “dotted” through the decoration of the place for a feast, you can limit yourself to using it in napkins, in the design of vases and baskets, and so on. It is important that such elements fit well into the overall surroundings.

Using candles to decorate a wedding table is a very good way to create an atmosphere of intimacy or mystery.They may not even be lit up to a certain point, and the proper impression will already be achieved in many respects.

Decorate the table well with candles of different sizes, decorated in the same spirit. Candle options today are many. They can be bought in a store or ordered by a craftsman manufacturing handmade candles. Candles can be of different diameters and heights, colors and designs. They should be installed on stable surfaces (candelabra and platforms) that can prevent paraffin from getting on the tablecloth or burning a fire in the event of a rollover.

A good solution would be to use candles, which are essentially LED lights. They can eliminate the need to take special fire precautions when the table is decorated with materials that can easily ignite. Such lamps look very elegant. Sometimes they cannot be distinguished externally from natural candles.

Many people consider the use of scented candles a good option, but here it must be borne in mind that some people may experience a negative reaction to these scents or this smell will just quickly start to interfere. Such candles are easier not to use at all or to light them only at a certain moment and very briefly.

Balloons often become an attribute of weddings. They make interesting figures in the form of arches, wedding rings and bouquets. Such aerocompositions are traditionally located behind the table of the newlyweds. They can be decorated and a place in front of the table.

The colors of the balls are chosen in accordance with the overall colors of the holiday.

When embarking on decorating a young table with your own hands, you need to pay attention to the fact that, in addition to matching the general situation, the decor is comfortable. Its elements should not obscure the bride and groom, they should have a place to move quietly without risk of overturning vases, candles and other "decorations".

To decorate the wall behind the bride and groom sitting at the table, you can use a large number of flowers. Bright drawings are laid out of them in the form of hearts, swans and other symbolic compositions.

To beautifully design the backdrop, you can use curtains. They can be laid in folds and bends in a variety of ways, creating arches and waves behind the newlyweds. It is beautiful if the fabric flows and creates the effect of flying clouds.

LED decorations can be used in several tiers. In such surroundings, the young can look like on stage. Everyone will be able to admire them throughout the feast.

An interesting option is to use large labels from separate paper letters. These may be the words “family”, “love”, the names of the newlyweds, and so on. It all depends on the wishes of the newly-married spouses themselves. Such inscriptions are also placed behind the table.

When creating floral arrangements on the table, one should approach this matter taking into account the symbolism of colors. Many people, for example, like hydrangeas. Only the meaning of this flower is heartlessness. To design a table for the newlyweds, a peony symbolizing passion or bells emphasizing devotion are more suitable.

To make the table look original, it is advisable to use imagination and, for example, make candlesticks made of natural fruits. Oranges, small pumpkins, or apples are well suited for this.

We can say that decorating the place of the newlyweds in the banquet hall in white tones looks somewhat monotonous. But due to the multi-colored illumination, the backdrop and the front of the table become interesting, airy, light and solemn.

The white-green design in the spirit of a summer meadow is very appropriate when holding a holiday on the terrace or in the hall, where there is a lot of air. Translucent fabrics, green tones look gentle and caress the eye. Modest decorations in the form of ribbons and butterflies give the impression of naivety, grace and subtle simplicity.

Young spouses who know how to attract attention will be happy to design tables in rich colors. Moreover, garlands of flowers, bouquets and other attributes can be placed so that they will serve as a graceful frame for a table on which you can place only serving items. At such a table, young people will not feel constrained.

At a table decorated with light fabrics and beautiful flower garlands, the newly-minted husband and wife will be able to feel like a king and queen of a fairy-tale state. The atmosphere of magic created by such receptions will set all guests in a romantic mood.
