Making the right decision about table decorations for your wedding or party can be quite daunting. Many people don’t appreciate that small details make all the difference.

Firstly, let us clarify that table decorations actually are. Table decorations refer to anything that will give bland table linen a bit of sparkle, interest or texture. Such items might be table gems, themed confetti, balloon clusters, floral arrangements, scattered rose petals or even fancy feathers.

To create the perfect mood as guests enter your reception or party room is easy once you are clear about what type of event you are having. In other words, are you creating a fun party mood or maybe having a child’s christening? Alternatively, you may be having a classic contemporary event where all table decorations need to be clean & crisp and in keeping with the theme.

If your event is a fun party perhaps for a birthday, then we would recommend using lots of colourful helium balloons or creating a party atmosphere using different tones and shades of one colour. A man’s 40th birthday party would lend itself well to different shades of blue – turquoise confetti, royal blue table napkins and lots of balloons in varying shades of blue. Whereas a child’s birthday party would be better suited to oversized balloon clusters produced in rainbow shades and finished with curling ribbon; tables can be scattered with handfuls of coloured feathers to complete the look.

In addition to balloons, floral arrangements are a great way to make a jaw dropping statement. You could talk to your florist about different ideas which will be dependent upon your budget and the nature of your event.

Wedding favours are also a great way to bring life to your tables and can double as great table decorations. Candle wedding favours, novelty place-card holders, co-ordinating favour boxes and organza pouches are all favours that can add a little interest to a place setting. Why not stack favour boxes up in the centre of each table to create an interesting display? This is also a great way of saving money for those who may be on a specific budget.

Lastly, don’t forget that you do not need to spend lots of money on your table decorations in order for your tables to have the desired effect. If your event focuses on a beach theme, why not scatter tables with sea shells and sand sprinkles? If your event has an organic natural theme, why not scatter tables with clusters of pebbles and tie napkins with cheap raffia?

So, when it comes to choosing the perfect table decorations for you, there is so much choice. You will of course be driven by the type of ambience you wish to create and the budget you have available. Whether you go for balloons, table confetti, petals, feathers, shells or pebbles, you are sure to create the perfect mood for your event! Follow these general rules for finding your perfect table decorations and you won’t go far wrong!
