You’re getting married, congratulations! You probably have your perfect dress in mind and your venue locked down, now it’s time to start thinking of how to transform your venue. Brimming with details, your reception is the perfect opportunity to create an atmosphere and translate your unique style. With the overwhelming abundance of inspiration out there, from Pinterest to wedding blogs, magazines to Instagram, we’ve whittled down some of our favourite styling ideas for stunning on-trend tablescapes.
Pink Abandon
If you’re looking for an aesthetic that is as elegant as an all-white affair, but distinctly more feminine, soften your palette with a blush tone taking centre stage. A distinctly romantic hue, it represents compassion and love, reflecting the traditional sentiments of a white wedding while being elegantly sophisticated and stylish. This millennial shade is bang on trend, so use blush with abandon, draped delicately in chiffon as table runners, or as elegant table covers for the ultimate feminine affair.

The Name Game
Give your guests the personal touch with individual place cards rather than a generic table number. Place cards aren’t only hugely practical at transitioning guests from ceremony to reception without confusion, they’re a great opportunity to show your style. Whether you’ve opted for a minimalist aesthetic, a botanical theme, or something more rustic, design and personalise your place cards to suit, for the perfect finishing touch to tie all your other styling elements together.

Candles and candle holders are a timeless way to add elegance to any table, but if you’re looking for something more individual try pairing floral arrangements with origami or seashells and geometric shapes.
