The Most Expensive Point in Wedding Flowers: "Main Table Flower Arrangement"

Weddings require flowers in various scenes.

Besides bouquets and boutonnieres, there are chapel flowers, table decorations, and bouquets for parents, etc.

Among these, the most flowers are used for the "main table flower arrangement" at the wedding.

The table flowers that decorate the large main table are inevitably voluminous and expensive!

Cutting Costs on Main Table Flowers Can Make It Look Poor

Many brides may want to save money on main table flower arrangements, but the main table is also where the most photos are taken during the reception.

☑ A sparse main table arrangement can give off the impression of being "cheap."

☑ Gaps (areas without flowers) can make it look less glamorous.

☑ A lack of volume won't look great in photos.

For these reasons, even if brides feel that the price is high, many hesitate to downgrade the quality.

Don't you wish there was a way to save on main table decorations while keeping it glamorous?

【Solution♡】 Let's Make the Main Table Smaller!

If you want to save on the main table flower arrangement but don’t want to reduce volume, there’s a recommended idea!

Instead of trying different types of flowers or using artificial flowers, simply downsize the "main table" itself!

If the main table is large, it will inevitably have gaps if there aren't plenty of flowers.

However, if the main table is smaller, even a little bit of flowers will fill it up, creating a "luxurious" and "voluminous" impression!

While filling a large table requires more flowers (and money), a smaller table can look just as filled up at a lower cost.

Look at the illustration below. The same volume of flowers looks completely different regarding glamor depending on the size of the table.

Additionally, a smaller main table creates a cozy atmosphere, making it easier for guests to come over and chat.

Smaller Main Tables: Recommended Shapes are "Half-Round" or "Round"♡

The quickest way to save on main table flower arrangements is to make the table smaller.

When reducing table size, if the wedding venue has tables, it's recommended to change to "half-round" or "round" tables.

These tables have a smaller surface area for decoration compared to rectangular tables, which makes them look even more voluminous.

From the front view, it looks as if the flowers are wrapping around the newlyweds, creating an adorable setting!

Since the bride and groom will sit diagonally at the table, it's also nice that the skirt portion of the dress is easily visible, even without a sofa at the main table.

Cute Decorations for Half-Round and Round Main Tables♡

So, what kind of decorations are brides choosing for half-round or round main tables?

Here is a classical-themed main table arrangement using soft-colored flowers.

Candles lit in sparkling vessels add a nice accent.

There was also a romantic main table that looks like a flower field.

It surrounds the couple's seats, making it look gorgeous from any angle in photos.

With soft pinks and candles, this is a mature yet cute table setting.

Stylish gold frames and tall candle holders contribute to a feminine atmosphere.

【Savings & Full of Charm♡】 Let's Make the Main Table Smaller!

I’ve shared the idea of downsizing the main table to save on flower arrangements.

It's recommended since it allows for decoration without gaps using the same amount of flowers.

Furthermore, if the smaller table is round or half-round:

☑ It looks cute as if the flowers are wrapping around the bride and groom.

☑ There are no corners, making it easier to chat with guests.

☑ A round table allows for a better view of the bride's skirt.

☑ It looks glamorous from any angle in photos.

There are many benefits!

For brides who wish to save on main table flowers, it’s worth asking your planner if smaller half-round or round tables can be prepared!
