Using Color to Enhance the Wedding Reception Tables

Color theory is nothing new, right? We know that color sends a message and can create a mood. Some hues may relax you, while others may energize you. Maybe you’ve done the color analysis for what to wear. We use the colors we love in our home to create the style and the mood we desire. Color is so personal and relays what is important to you, which is why color plays such a HUGE part in the wedding industry. Color makes a significant statement on your wedding day and will bring your guests the vibe/mood you are wanting to achieve. After all, the day is for you, but your beautiful table style is also a gift for your guests’ enjoyment.

So… let’s break it down.  You can create your wedding reception with a burst of color and patterns. Or you can be subtle and subdued with a more monochromatic table style. Maybe you want your tables colors to contrast with wedding party, or maybe you want everything to perfectly match. Most couples start with the florals.  We say start with us then choose your florals. We will play in our Design Center with you. So many options from which you can play and choose. Linens, plates, glasses, and flatware along with something placed in the center of your tables or around the venue in vignettes or space fillers are all here. Don’t forget the items you will need for appetizers and desserts. We will set your table until it is just right.

If you like the calm subdued look of a classic mood, we have matching and organic style place settings. The cut glass stemmed Bella goblet is a matching collection.  Gives a vintage classic touch to the table. Our Pure wine and water crystal stemmed collection is an elegant style. Our clean lined modern ​Linen Coupe place setting includes the dinner, salad/dessert, bread/appetizer, mug and rice bowl.

Your plates or glassware can be understated.  However, adding a little bit or a lot of color or texture can pull the look together. ​

Wow! Right? If you love color or want to incorporate specific colors, we have it all.  Linens can add pattern or texture. Colorful plates in mismatched patterns may be exactly what you are looking for. Colorful mismatched glasses can be in one color around your tables, or we can alternate several colors. What month is your wedding? Consider your color choices to tie with the venue and/season may be important to you. Customize your reception with colors that are meaningful to you. Maybe represent your heritage.  Maybe reflect the colors of your travels. Maybe tie colors with a specific memorable family heirloom or item. We love incorporating your personal things with ours!
