What makes your wedding different from any other are the details that reflect your personal style and taste. Those details, such as tabletop designs, can quickly add up and increase your wedding budget more than you’d expect. The designers at Posh and Pretty Parties are an experienced and creative team, who can help you put your signature style on every detail without compromising your budget.
Start With Your Creative Resources
One of the benefits of having an established wedding planner by your side are the resources they have available at their fingertips. Before you begin searching for tabletop flair, save yourself time and potentially money by checking your wedding planner’s inventory. At Posh and Pretty, we have an extensive collection of decorations for every bride’s taste and budget. For example, if you absolutely fell in love with the Baccarat candelabra, our signature décor line includes a gorgeous 30” tall crystal candelabra for 60% less than you’d pay on your own.
Consider Your Space
The existing décor of your venue will set the stage for how far you take your creative ingenuity. Do you have a blank room that will need extensive embellishing or is it already adorned with intricate ceilings and rich wood interiors? If the ceiling is dripping with gorgeous chandeliers or draped in lush fabric, adding too much detail to the tabletops might clash or compete with the room’s decor. An outdoor garden setting may already provide plenty of flowers and greenery allowing you to save money on elaborate floral arrangements.
If your reception is held in the evening, nothing adds to the romantic ambiance than candles and soft lighting. A daytime wedding in a bright space is the perfect setting for a fun and colorful arrangement.
Keep It in Proportion
The biggest pitfall in tabletop design is not looking at both the room as a whole and the individual table. Take a long view of the room to find the best visual impact. If the room is large and plain, tall arrangements on each table will create a dramatic pop to the décor. If the room is small, oversized arrangements will make the space seem crowded.
If you are using banquet seating, a collection of similar objects can make a strong impact. You can use small vases spaced evenly down the table or a series of candles or decorative touches.
A large round 72” table is best accentuated with a larger tabletop display. A high top table is easily polished with a single votive candle or a floating flower.
Consider using either a low centerpiece or one that is taller than your guests’ heads when seated so, they can easily talk to the person sitting across from them.
Upgrade Your Linens & Place Settings
Gorgeous, quality linens and place settings can create a breathtaking table at your reception. At Posh and Pretty, we collaborate with the best vendors in the area for designer linens and will help you select an option that best compliments the look and feel of your wedding. From table runners, patterned table cloths and embellished napkins, don’t underestimate the creative possibilities of linens and silverware.
Small Touches with a Big Impact
A single stem in a bud vase may seem small, but when grouped with several vases, it makes a statement. Here are a few other ideas that work well together:
· To fill a large vase, consider using a floating candle 
or single flower stems for an understated but
elegant look.
· Embellish candles, vases and linens with a gorgeous ribbon
· Tree branches can go a long way in making a dramatic statement. While adding hanging votives will create ambiance, it will also increase your cost. Posh and Pretty has used several creative ideas to add glamour to the seemingly unglamorous.
Think Outside the Flowerbox
It’s fun to do the unexpected and add your own personal spin to the traditional floral tabletop designs.
· Add a pop of color with various size jars of bright candy.
· Use photos of you and your fiancé from your childhood, courtship and e ngagement to create a personal touch. Posh and Pretty has a stock of matching frames to keep the look consistent.
· Feathers are not only economical, but create a dramatic flair for a tall arrangement.
· Candles come in various colors, widths and heights providing numerous possibilities from decorative lanterns to floating candle displays. Even a grouping of simple votive candles can create a visual wow!
With so many options, you can easily create a stunning tabletop design within your budget. Keep in mind, however, that the most beautiful aspect of your tables are the friends and family who will fill the seats to celebrate your special day!
