Decorating tables for a wedding can be tough. Choosing the right centrepiece that fits in with your theme (if you have one) and colour scheme, as well as representing what you and your new husband or wife are all about, can seem almost impossible… but we wanted to offer a helping hand with a little inspiration!
Here’s how to choose creative table decorations that are perfect for a spring wedding - a time of year that’s complemented by fun, fresh, vibrant colours.
Wedding Table Centre Ideas for a Spring Wedding
There’s no shortage of choice when it comes to table decorations. It’s deciding what you want that makes it difficult. Do you go all out austentatious with that showy, jaw-dropping number, or do you keep it simple with a minimalist, understated display? Let us help you choose…
Spring Flowers
When you think of spring, you might think of delicious pastel colours, luscious tree blossom, and new flowers just about to awaken from their winter rest; but sometimes the vessel in which you present the flowers can be just as important as the flowers themselves.
If you love the rustic life and want to bring the outside in, then a gardener’s trug or basket filled with succulent spring blooms similar to this one from The Wedding of My Dreams, might be just the centrepiece you’re looking for.
Alternatively, old wooden apple crates can add a touch of vintage charm to your table decorations. Or, if you’d like to keep the vintage vibe but you’d prefer something a little subtler and you don’t mind getting a bit crafty, then adding some lace and hessian to some old jars, just like these from Joann, could be the answer. Not only are they super easy to create, but you’ll have some unique, cheap table decorations too.
Candles
If you don’t fancy going all out floral with your table decorations, then candles can be the perfect alternative. They’re simple, classy, and affordable, and they really set the mood; especially if you plan to host your sit down meal in the evening.
Saving old wine bottles to repurpose as candle holders such as these from Upcycled Wonders can be a really simple way to add ambiance to a table. They’re also perfect for an outdoor setting.
If you’d like to take things one step further, then lanterns might be the best option for you. They can be as large or as small as you’d like, and they can really make a statement if you want them to. These lanterns shared by Ellis Bridals are a favourite of ours.
TOP TIP: stand candle centrepieces on mirrored plates. They’ll reflect the light, giving each table the sparkle it so rightly deserves.
Fun Table Centrepieces
After what can seem like a lifetime of miserable weather and cold, dark nights, if there’s one thing spring does, it’s confirm that winter is well and truly over and it’s time to make way for fun times in the sun.
Adding a little fun to your table decorations and letting the good times roll can make it a really memorable experience for your guests; especially if you opt for interactive table centrepieces such as this fabulous wishing well centrepiece.
Everyone loves Lego, right? If you really want to ramp up the fun and encourage your guests to get creative, why not decorate your tables with it? Just add a big bowl to each table and see what gems your guests can come up with. The multitude of bright, vibrant colours are a fab way to mix up your colour scheme.
Sweet treats will likely be a winner with everyone, so why not give your guests an excuse to indulge their inner child? Opting for a plethora of sugary goodness such as these super fun and rather cute weeping willow candy trees from Pink Bon Bon will definitely go down well.
The best part is that they can be made to suit virtually any colour scheme, so the only limitation is your imagination! If however you’d rather pick something a little healthier, a fresh fruit centrepiece might be the perfect alternative.
If you don’t feel so flamboyant but you still want your table centrepieces to appeal to your guests’ senses, a herb garden centrepiece can be a delicious way to dress a table without being too over the top. The lush shades of green and individual scents are super refreshing – perfect for a simple yet eye-catching spring time table decoration.
Choosing the right wedding table decorations can seem like an almost impossible task; especially when you’re not entirely sure what you want. Do you stick with traditional, classic pieces, or go for something completely unique?
If you fancy getting creative, DIY wedding table decorations can be a great way to put your own stamp on things, while saving money, too. If however, you’d prefer to let someone else take the reins, there are many amazing designers, makers and florists just itching to make sure your day is absolutely perfect. Either way, we hope our favourites have inspired you!
