Winter Wedding Table Decor
So, you’ve decided on a winter wedding, but don’t know where to start when it comes to table decoration? We’re here to help. Winter weddings bring an extra sense of magic to the day and the season itself provides plenty of inspiration for table décor. From frosty winter wonderland accents to rustic styling inspired by firelit forest cabins, there’s plenty of food for thought.
Wedding table options
Although choosing themes and décor is the most exciting part of the process, deciding on the right style of tables for your event is the first and most crucial decision to make. For your reception, you need to consider the type of tables you want based on factors like the space available, how many guests you invite and the dining style you have opted for.
The three main types to think about are round tables, poseur tables and rectangular tables.
Round tables
Round tables are by far the most popular choice for weddings as they seat more people than rectangular tables, making it easier to chat without having to shout across people to be heard at the other end of the table. For a more sophisticated look, you can purchase some table covers to fit the color scheme or your wedding’s theme
Poseur tables
Whilst poseur tables are a great option to encourage mingling and interaction, if you plan on having a sit-down meal, these probably aren’t for you. But you could consider having a few of these close to the bar, as they do not need seating and are a great place to put drinks down and chat.
Rectangular tables
For your head table, a rectangular table is probably the most functional choice. Whilst they don’t offer the same level of interaction as round or poseur tables, they tick all the boxes for making the newlyweds and guests of honor visible and easy to hear when it’s time for the speeches.
Rectangular tables are also a must if you plan on having a buffet-style meal as they make the food easily accessible to your guests and create a bit more structure.
With the table style down, it’s time to get to the exciting part; decoration! One of the best things about winter weddings is that you can go all out and embrace the winter theme. Chances are, you’re holding an indoor or covered wedding, factoring in the UK weather which gives you even more options for personalizing the space.
Keep centerpieces small
Whilst it might be tempting to go for large and elaborate centerpieces, make sure you consider whether they will get in the way of conversations across the table or take up space that is needed for food and drinks. Sometimes the more subtle centerpieces are the best choice when it comes to the overall effect. Smaller is often more cost-effective too!
Light up your wedding venue
Consider incorporating candlelight into your table décor as this will create an intimate and wintery feel whilst ensuring any gloomy winter weather is compensated for. Flickering LED candles are a great option as they are safer than a real flame but still provide that cozy fireside glow. You could also opt to incorporate lighting into other parts of your décor, for example, string lights or lanterns adorning the walls or ceiling.
Take inspiration from nature
Pine cones are your best friends when it comes to winter weddings. They are readily available and very affordable, but they also provide the perfect decorative touch. You can use them to hold name cards or to add to your floral decorations. Dark green foliage, red berries (faux) and even cinnamon sticks are also popular additions to winter centerpieces and provide a cozy and festive feel.
