Minimalist Elegance

For those who appreciate simplicity and clean lines - minimalist decor can create an atmosphere of understated elegance. Choose a neutral colour palette such as whites, creams, and soft beige to set the tone. You could even include some soft earthy pastels which compliment traditional neutrals. Consider using sleek, geometric shapes for candle holders and vases to add a touch of modernity to the minimalist vibe.

Laidback Boho

For the free-spirited souls seeking a laid-back, boho-chic vibe, infuse your table with eclectic charm and natural elements. Embrace a mix of textures and patterns in your table linens, using macramé runners or textured fabrics. Choose mismatched vintage glassware and incorporate pampas grass or wildflowers for a bohemian touch.

Make your guests feel like a VIP

Adding a personal touch to each place setting is a delightful way to make your guests feel special. Consider personalised place cards that double as wedding favours or small tokens of appreciation. Include a heartfelt note or a fun fact about each guest to add a touch of personality and warmth to the table.

Add your story to your stationery

Guide your guests to their designated tables with style by incorporating unique table numbers. Play with the theme of your wedding, perhaps naming tables after significant places or moments in your relationship. This adds a personal touch and sparks conversation among guests as they discover the stories behind each table.

Blooms and Textures

No matter your chosen style, flowers and textures play a crucial role in elevating your table decor. Consider using a variety of blooms that match your colour scheme. Incorporate greenery for a fresh and organic feel. Mix and match textures through your choice of linens, napkins, and table runners to add depth and visual interest.
