Have You Decided on Your Guest Table Coordination? ♡
To all the brides-to-be, have you decided on the coordination of your guest tables? *You want to create a decor that makes guests soak in a happy atmosphere throughout the reception, right? ♡
That said, since the budget is limited, you can't just get as many flowers as you want. You need to create a beautiful table coordination within your budget. *
You Can Use a "Table Runner" ♡
In such cases, I definitely recommend incorporating a "table runner" ♡ A table runner is a piece of fabric that is laid in the center of the table with the ends dangling down. You may have seen them in stylish restaurants.
This table runner is a very useful item that can shine in your reception table coordination ♡ While it is often associated with long tables at overseas weddings, it can certainly be beautifully coordinated on round tables as well ♩
In this article, I will introduce the charm of table runners and showcase actual guest table coordination using table runners. *
The Charm of Table Runners ① Looks Gorgeous Even with Fewer Flowers *
One of the biggest concerns when planning the floral arrangements for the guest tables is, "What if the actual flowers are smaller than I imagined...?"
It can be quite shocking if the flowers displayed on the guest tables on the day are smaller than what you envisioned from photos. That's why many brides end up increasing the quality of the flowers to avoid this.
In such a situation, the reliable option is the table runner ♡ With its large area and presence, a table runner can cover up the small number of flowers, making the overall impression look more vibrant.
For example, take a look at this table coordination. It is stylishly coordinated with green and orange, yet there are only three bud vases with single flowers. *
Thanks to the table runner, the area decorated increases, creating a coordination that doesn’t feel too sparse ♡
The Charm of Table Runners ② Easy to Convey the Theme Color *
Every wedding has a theme color. * Theme colors are chosen based on the couple's favorite colors or the concept of the wedding. When items and flowers are unified in the same color, it gives off a refined and stylish impression. ♡
A table runner with a strong presence is perfect for expressing the theme color. * For example, for a princess wedding, you could use pink, and for a Tiffany wedding, blue, thus coordinating the entire reception venue with the theme color. ♡
By expressing the theme color through flowers and the table runner, it becomes easier for guests to remember. ♡ Coordinating with the color of the napkins makes it even more stylish. *
The Charm of Table Runners ③ Incorporate Different Materials and Patterns *
For a natural wedding, you might choose burlap, and for a princess wedding, tulle... each wedding theme has fabrics that suit it. *
However, since you can't really use them for tablecloths, the guest tables tend to lose some of the theme elements. That's when table runners come in handy ♡
With a table runner, you can use various materials like natural burlap, fluffy tulle, sparkling glitter, and even patterned fabrics such as checkered or striped designs ♡
By creatively using the colors, patterns, and materials of table runners, you can create a stylish atmosphere with a homely party feel, rather than the usual formal "wedding" vibe. ♡
A table runner is indeed a strong ally for brides who are particular about their table coordination. ♩
