Decorating a Table for an Event

Decorating a table for an event is an important task in the planning process. Learning how to decorate a table along with the rental items that are needed to add style to the decor while also providing functionality is key.

How to Decorate a Table
When considering table setups for events and table decor ideas for functions, it always involves a series of questions for the client before we can best advise the table settings for the event. 

With a few strategic questions and steps to organize the process, table decorations for events can be simple and, dare we say, even a fun task to tackle.

 Where to Start
When selecting event table decor, it’s best to understand the event space first to form the overall decor vision for the event table settings.

Some questions to consider when planning how to decorate your table settings for parties:

  • Is the venue indoors or outdoors?
  • Is it a hotel ballroom, outdoor garden area, restaurant, or beach location, or is the event utilizing an at-home space?
  • What is the color scheme of the event location and reception area?
  • How many guests are you expecting? This will impact the number of tables that are needed within the layout. 
  • Is there anything about the venue space layout that could impact your chosen decor?
  • How may the layout of the seating affect the choices for table decorations? 

The answers to these questions will help you to work with your event vendors to narrow down the vibe, colors, fabrics, and overall vision of the table decoration ideas for the event. 

How To Decorate Tables for Events
Once you have answers to the questions above regarding the venue and seating, it’s time to design tabletops for the event using table decor ideas for the party. 

When designing wedding table or corporate event table decorations, start with the table linen. When organizing your event table ideas, keep the table centerpieces in mind as you design the rest of the table and let any other event vendors involved in the design process, know what the table centerpiece plan is.

Once the event table centerpiece concept is established, move on to selecting the table linen. Setting a table for a wedding reception, and other such events, starts with the linens. Table linens are available from locally hiring companies in a variety of colors, fabrics, sizes, and styles. If hosting the event at a venue, it’s worth checking first with your venue contact person to see the types of table linens they have. You can also use some of the venue’s linens and combine them with what you have to create a unique look.

Chairs
Chairs play an important role in the overall look of the table setting and greatly impact the overall outcome. There are many chair styles that can coordinate beautifully with a particular tabletop design.

Selecting Tabletop Items
There are so many beautiful tabletops for an event as well as meeting table decoration ideas which can be both exciting, but also overwhelming. Where do you start? How do you decide which items to hire? How do you choose from all of the table setup ideas circulating around the internet?

Ask your rental  salesman you. They are knowledgeable not only with the inventory but with how to design a tabletop that will complement the event décor.

Personally, it would be best to browse websites, social media, and event look-books to get an idea of the style and trends that you like. Then, start with the one item that you have in mind first. It may be a beautiful set that you spotted on Instagram or a colorful charger that you saw on Pinterest. If you want to use a particular tabletop item, use this as your focal point from which to build the rest of the design.

 

Flatware
Flatware sets  add so much to the tabletop decor. For example, a pop of gold flatware elevates the look of the tabletop decorations while also providing the needed utensils for the meal. 

Plates & Chargers
Decorating a table setting with a beautiful charger adds an eye-catching element to the table design. Guests will be wowed when they walk into the event to see a beautifully set table with various combined elements to create a unique and attractive look. When adding a beautiful set of dinnerware to the table design, you elevate the event with a simply added detail that makes quite an impact.


Glassware
If colorful glassware isn’t in line with the event vision, there are so many beautiful options to choose from that pair nicely when decorating an event tabletop. Elevating the look of the glassware on the table makes the event elegant and sophisticated with this one simple touch.

Serving Ware

When considering serving ware  items as part of table decorations, think of bread baskets, 3-tier cake stands for buffet tables, and mini fry baskets for serving fries, and mini foods. The serving ware available  for hire makes a beautiful addition to your table decoration.

Remember, decorating tables for events is a fun opportunity to let your personality shine. Choose the items that bring you joy and excitement!
