When your guests arrived at the reception, if you want to really blow their minds, the place to start is really the guest tables! Then mold the rest of your decor around them. Well decorated guest tables will pull together the whole reception.

A great centerpiece is the anchor of beautifully decorated table. Traditional floral arrangements can always do the trick! There are tons of unique flowers to choose from, but do keep your budget in mind while letting your imagination go wild. If you’ve decided you have enough flowers in your wedding already, you may choose a centerpiece that’s a little less common. Asian lamps have been making their way into the wedding scene over the last few years. Turn down the lights in your reception to really set the mood. Another option that has been growing in popularity is the use of fish in fish bowls. Betta fish and other colorful species have been used as the center of the table!
Centerpieces are definitely a necessity but you don’t necessarily have to go all out if you use linens to spruce up tables! Many brides are discarding the idea of the traditional white linens and attempting to wow guests with brightly colored or even iridescent table clothes and even napkins! Throw on some table runners in bold or pastel colors for extra splashes of color. Linens in shimmery fabrics add an extra luminescence to candle lit centerpieces. If your venue doesn’t have colored linens, almost all event rental companies do.
Once you’ve drenched your tables in color, there’s no need for the traditional patterned china! Brides today are sticking with a simple white dish with more modern shapes.
So, start planning your perfect guest table and stun your guests as they enter your reception!
