You have booked your wedding venue, reserved the tables and chairs, and invited everyone you hold dear to attend your dream wedding. Now, the next step is to choose from the variety of wedding decorations to create a reception dinner table decoration that is unique to your wedding. Depending upon the different wedding festivities, themes, and colour palettes these decorations can change to adhere to your wedding decoration.

Below are the top 6 trending reception dinner table decoration ideas compiled by Wedding Affair that will make your reception table decor the talk of the town.

Floral Feast

If you have chosen a long table for your wedding reception, a runner adorned with floral arrangements will look beautiful as your reception dinner table decoration. Add a set of candles along with the flowers and your unique decor is ready.

Table Runners

Table Runners in matching or contrasting colours add structure and edge to your reception dinner table. You can choose between velvet, shimmer, or sheer table runners depending on the theme of your wedding decor.

Follow the Foliage

Another unique addition to your reception dinner table decoration can be lush green foliage in different shapes and sizes. Be it hanging from the top or laid across the table these give a natural and beautiful look to your tables. You could also mix and match the foliage decoration with some aesthetic pampas grass and wisteria in contrasting colours.

Magical Lights

Brides and grooms, perfect lighting is the key to perfect photographs capturing the dreamy essence of your love-filled wedding. You can opt to hang Edison Bulbs from above along with some floral decor, hang iconic chandeliers to give off the royal vibe, set up lanterns as centrepieces, or hang a string of fairy lights to make your reception dinner table look heavenly.

OTT Centrepieces

A very common yet experimental way to decorate your reception dinner table is to adorn it with over-the-top centrepieces that contain symbols of your love story. Some of the OTT centrepieces that we have loved have been teddy bears with the initials of the bride and groom, mini planters that give a natural vibe to the decor and can be given as gifts later and colourful eye-catching terrariums.

One of the most unique centrepieces that went viral on social media was when a couple framed photographs of either of them with each of their wedding guests and put them as the centrepieces on the reception dinner table. It was surely an emotional surprise for the guests who quickly began reminiscing about the moment in the photographs together.

Table and Chairs

One of the most important points to remember when deciding on your reception dinner table decoration is to not forget to decorate the table and chairs. While the upper surface of your table will be decorated for sure, you also need to cover it with a fabric that adds to the luxury and theme of your wedding decor. Couples have also experimented with colourful chairs, sofa lounges, on-the-floor seating and more. You can also decorate the chairs with drapes with your initials embroidered on them, flowers tied at the back of the chair or foliage running through the chair legs.

Brides and Grooms, choose any of these reception dinner table decoration ideas depending on the shape and sizes of your tables. With circular, rectangular, square or long tables these decoration ideas will work wonderfully and make your wedding decor a memorable one for sure!
