Mix-and-Match Design is a No-Go! A Collection of Stylish Combinations of Garlands and Head Tables

Garland That Can Be Used for Photoshoots and Decoration

Garland, a classic wedding item. Many brides buy or DIY garlands before their photoshoots, don't they?

The charm of garlands is that they can be used not only as photoshoot items but also as decoration items on the wedding day.

In particular, it’s popular to hang them in front of the main table where attention is focused during the reception ♡

Is It Actually Difficult to Look Stylish!?

However...

Combining the high table and garland can actually be quite challenging to make it look stylish.

This is understandable. When preparing a garland for wedding photos, you don't typically think about whether it matches the high table, do you?

As a result, when you actually display it on the high table, there can be many pitfalls, such as mismatches with the floral arrangements or the text being too small to read.

If you make one wrong move, the decoration can end up feeling rather cheap…!

Moreover, the high table is something guests can only see for the first time at the actual reception. If you realize "it doesn't match at all!" after seeing the garland-decorated high table, it is already too late.

Let's Learn from Successful Case Studies!

Just because you think you’ve decorated well with the garland doesn’t mean the main table won’t end up looking less stylish...

To avoid such disastrous situations, it's necessary to learn from "successful examples" from experienced brides.

By looking at lovely high tables where the atmosphere of the garland matched the floral decoration,

you can grasp a concrete image of what kind of garland design fits the high table atmosphere you like.

If you use this as a reference for preparing your garland, you can prevent mismatches.

This time, we will introduce six high tables decorated with garlands by different styles ♡

Pay attention to the design of the garlands and the methods of decoration while you look through them ♩

[Cute] High Table Decorated with Garlands 1*＊

Let's start with a classic cute-themed main table ♡

The cute high table floral arrangement features impressive pink gerberas. The bride brought in a garland and fluffy white chiffon fabric.

It’s a highlight that light pink and lavender artificial flowers are attached to the garland. By bringing the same shade of pink from the high table floral arrangements into the garland, a sense of unity is created.

The fluffy chiffon softens the overall atmosphere when draped over the tablecloth ♡ This is one reason the garland blends in stylishly instead of being prominent.

[Cute] High Table Decorated with Garlands 2*＊

A high table coordinated in white and pink. The garland is a hand-made rosette garland by the bride herself ♡

It’s also noteworthy that the garland is split into two parts with “JUST” and “MARRIED,” creating two "sags." If the garland were too long, it might hang too low towards the floor, but this design alleviates such worries.

The part where the garland is held has a large white ribbon decorated. This adds a touch of cuteness with the garland, making it a successful example to inspire others ♡

[Cute] High Table Decorated with Garlands 3*＊

Here is a case of a high table decorated with a colorful Mickey garland to make it vibrant ♡

A colorful and vivid garland can easily end up looking out of place if not careful.

For this high table, scattering dark-colored flower petals on the table and decorating with pop balloon backgrounds create an overall colorful and fun impression.

If you want to use a Mickey garland, the key is to gather plenty of colorful decorative items to create cohesion.

[Natural] High Table Decorated with Garlands 4*＊

Next, we will introduce a natural-themed main table.

If you want to decorate the natural high table, make the garland thoroughly natural too ♩ This garland is made of off-white fabric instead of paper, with the alphabet parts made of green moss.

It goes very well with the olive-colored tablecloth ♡ The idea of decorating the ends with paper napkin rings is unique and lovely!

[Natural] High Table Decorated with Garlands 5*＊

Next is a high table with a refreshing lime green tablecloth. The garland is made from burlap, a representative of natural fabrics.

Small paper fans in the same colors of the main floral arrangements—green and white, along with a splash of purple—are placed strategically among the decor.

Upon closer inspection, even the holding part is made of jute twine, which showcases a committed approach ♩

[Natural] High Table Decorated with Garlands 6*＊

The previous examples combined a natural garland with natural floral arrangements, but this one shows a slightly different pattern.

The garland has a bold black and red design that lacks a natural feel.

However, the combination with a beautifully green natural high table looks very stylish ♡

The simple minimalistic garland aligns well with the white tablecloth. It showcases advanced techniques to consider for your own decor ♡

[Marine] High Table Decorated with Garlands 7*＊

This is a marine-themed high table based on the ocean ♩ Upon closer inspection, the garland has starfish instead of stars.

Using motifs that match the wedding theme for the garland is also a recommended idea. This will ensure a cohesive and stylish main table.

[Antique] High Table Decorated with Garlands 6*＊

If you want a sophisticated antique high table, pairing it with a tassel garland rather than an English phrase garland is the way to go!

It shares the same color scheme with the ribbon curtain behind the high table, creating a cohesive look ◎

The star motif is used in two places—the garland and behind the high table—providing a harmonious impression instead of a mismatched one ♡

How Was It?

We introduced stylish high tables where garlands were cleverly used. It's important that the atmosphere of the high table matches the design of the garland ♩

For those who want to use garlands for both photoshoots and decorations, take some time to think carefully about what kind of design is best before you prepare!

Hopefully, you will create a wonderful garland and main table ♡
