Wedding Table Settings-One thing that can add a touch of panache to your wedding is your wedding table settings. You can make your style stand out with how you choose to set your tables.
To make your wedding truly stand out will be to choose personal details for your dinner table that will make it unforgettable. You can choose to be casual, detailed, or even formal.
How To Set A Wedding Table
Setting a wedding table is a tad different from setting a regular dinner table. So we have put together a few tips for creating beautiful wedding table settings. You would need to consider the following.
- Place settings Most venues have this as part of their package, so you will not need this. If yours doesn’t however, look into renting plates, glasses, flatware, and chargers. If you have a color scheme or theme to follow, keep that in mind when making your choices.
- Linens Table cloths, napkins, table runners, and so on. These will be the base of your table settings. It is safe to go with neutral colors, but you could also use bright pastels or bold jewelry if you are looking to match your color scheme. You could also play around with textures and patterns. If you are not afraid to think outside the box, you might be surprised by the results.
- Centerpieces The most important accessories for your wedding table decor are your centerpieces. Your wedding theme would come into play here. If you’re having a rustic or bohemian-themed wedding, you could switch the classic vase and bloom with origami, feathers, and beads; something different, unique, and eye-catching.
- Stationery Also important when thinking of wedding table setup ideas is your wedding stationery. Things like menus, place cards, and table numbers will help guests locate their seating. The design of your wedding stationery would have to match your theme and choice of table setting, to tie everything neatly together.
- Chairs This goes without saying, that your guests would need chairs to sit on. However, for options, some favorites include x-back chairs, folding chairs, and Chiavari chairs. If you’re going for something completely different, you could also use comfy poufs.
- Favors Something you can add to your wedding table decor is the wedding favors for your guests. Some people prefer to set them at the exit so guests can just pick as they leave. Another method, however, is to place them on their plates, so they see their favors as they sit down to eat.
- Extras Asides from the usual items, it is okay to add some extras to complete your theme. These could be transparent vases filled with pebbles or confetti, lovely scented candles, you name it.
Outdoor Wedding Table Settings
Outdoor wedding table settings typically feature natural elements, such as floral centerpieces, greenery, and wooden accents, to complement the surrounding environment. The tables may be dressed in rustic or elegant linens, depending on the overall theme of the wedding. Tableware, including plates, glasses, and cutlery, may also incorporate natural elements or feature classic designs.
Unique Table Setting Design
For something unique, you will have to think outside the box. Go to a flea market and see what calls you. Brass bracelets could be napkin rings, you could get lovely colored candles, agates, and scarves as table runners. Things like this would stand out and could create romantic wedding table settings.
Simple Wedding Table Settings
Less is more most of the time, and a simple setting is always a classic. Traditional China, gold votives, and neutral linens are the type of items you will need to create this timeless look. For wedding centerpieces, you could have peonies, roses, privets, or scabiosa.
Table Setting For Buffet Wedding
For a buffet wedding, you would have to prepare much in advance. The recipes, the location of the buffet table at the venue, everything. Each detail would have to be well thought out so that dinner can go on without a hitch. This also involves the table setting, so decisions like placing side dishes after entrees would have to be made.
- When setting your wedding tables for a buffet it is best to use risers to create a variety in height for when you stack the plates. A simple one to use would be soft drink crates. Placed on different areas of the wedding table, they would give an interesting visual effect.
- It is also a good idea to place the cutlery at the end of the buffet line, so guests have their hands free while serving. They can get the cutlery when they truly need them, in the end, without having to worry about dropping them.
- Another idea and this is a money saver are to place the more expensive cuisine like fish and meat at the end. Guests will have these in smaller amounts after having selected other food like sandwiches and pasta.
Table Setting Without Plates
or a truly unique and bohemian feel, you could set your table without plates. Decorate wooden farm tables with pomegranates, roses, and olive branches. Don’t forget your napkins, you could place guests’ favors atop each one for that true rustic vibe.
Basic Wedding Table Setting
A basic table setting is a typical classical setting. The order is (left to right): fork, plate, knives, and spoons. For a basic and inexpensive table setting you can use a fresh flower as a decor. Your guests will love this!
Formal Table Setting
There are steps to setting a formal wedding table. These are:
- Make sure the forks sit below the bread plate and butter knife.
- The dessert spoon and fork sit below the dinner plate.
- Set the stemware in a way that forms a triangle. The knife is below the water glass with the white wine glass to its lower right, all below the red wine glass.
- The forks to the left are for the main course and the salad.
- On the right side of the plate, from the left, are the dinner knife and soup spoon.
- The napkin can be set under the forks to the left of the plate, or the left of the forks. The napkin can also be placed on the charger or center plate.
Casual Table Setting
A casual table setting is exactly as it sounds, casual. So it can be relaxed and follow your wedding theme without being too rigid. You might want to try tie-and-dyed table runners and simple napkins. You could also use copper flatware or any of your choice, with olive branches for decor. True casual style.
