Wedding tables: 5 ideas for floral decoration

Your Wedding day is fast approaching... you've found your reception venue, your caterer and chosen your menu. You've got the wedding dress of your dreams and the outfit of your future husband... in short, all the important points are settled. Now it's time to take care of the little details that make all the difference, like decorating your tables, for example. 

Just like your entire Wedding, the decoration of your reception venue, and especially your Wedding tables, should reflect your personal style. Opt for elements that reflect the image of your couple, in harmony with the wedding theme you've chosen, while respecting your budget. It's important to take the time to do this, as your tables will be one of the first things your guests see at the reception.

To help you choose yours, rendez-vous. offers you 5 great decorating ideas:

The Chandelier

It can be silver, gold or pink... It's up to you! It's also great to decorate it with a floral arrangement, either between the branches or at the base! The candlestick, more elegant and refined than a candle jar, will add an enchanting glow to your decor and remind you of the receptions of yesteryear.

The Path of Soliflores

Alternated with candles of different sizes (cylindrical or candle holders), Soliflores will add a superb touch of elegance to your wedding tables. To give your wedding a chic look or even a romantic atmosphere, you can also vary the shapes and materials of your vases: glass or ceramic vases, round, with a refined design or rectangular... Whether you have round or rectangular tables, mixing vase styles is more than possible and will delight the eyes of your guests!

Baroque and Coloured Compositions

Very much in vogue in recent years, beautiful, colourful floral arrangements in magnificent old-gold bowls always create a superb effect on tables! This is decoration at its most elegant. This style has its roots directly in a period of history that followed the Renaissance. With rich ornaments, gilded objects and crystal, you can adopt the Baroque style with ease.

Timeless White and Green

If there's one theme that will always work and never go out of fashion, it's the combination of beautiful green foliage with white flowers. Roses, hydrangeas, peonies, gypsophila... in the form of a runner or centrepiece, you can mix and match for a magnificent result!

The Freshness of Citrus

To add a little pep and freshness to your tables, why not use citrus fruit to enhance your floral arrangements? Sliced lemons in your vases, halved grapefruits and oranges on your tables... Citrus fruits offer a beautiful palette of colours, which in addition to their visual appeal, will bring a divine scent to your tables!

Little extra Don't hesitate to choose crockery to match the theme of your Wedding - some great hire companies have a great range to offer!

Flowers are an essential part of your Wedding decoration. They bring freshness, elegance, cheerfulness and refinement to your Reception Hall. Everywhere, for your Ceremony, in the Bride's Bouquet, on the Groom's Boutonniere, on your tables, they will be present and in harmony.

Some varieties are more fragile than others (tulips, poppies...) and do not tolerate heat well. Think about this if you're getting married in a very sunny venue. For all your flowers, think about a place where you can store them before placing them on the tables (ideally a slightly dark place where it's cool).
