Shopping for Wedding Tabletop Decor for the New Decade

Tips:

It’s normal to feel overwhelmed by the infinitesimal decisions you’re making about your wedding. Take it one step at a time. Make a list of the tables you need to design: place card display table, cake display table, food and beverage stations, dining tables. Then ask yourself if you want to weave a consistent theme throughout each tabletop, or go for an eclectic vibe, giving each table its own personality. As you scroll through each trend below, you may get a better sense of your vision for the space. One final thing to do: Check with your venue to see what they provide, such as tea lights and table linens. You can always add your own personal stamp on top of what you’re already paying for!

2020 Wedding Table Decor Shopping Considerations

Cost:

You can spend a bit more on decor that won’t be repeated at other tables. For instance, you’ll likely only have one cake display table, so if you want to include a particular element there, it’s a one time cost. However, a theme you want to see repeated at every dining table is different. Be sure to figure if you’ll be placing candles and florals at 12 tables, your cost is going to multiply quickly. Below, we share ideas big and small, from a colorful photo frame for just over $10 to a bold LED light display that costs over $100. As you peruse our ideas, consider which speak to you and fit your budget.

Color:

The use of Pantone’s Color of the Year, classic blue, is a huge trend we’ll be seeing at weddings in 2020. Bold, brave color (think corals and bright blues) is also hot, as is incorporating metallics into your tablescapes. 

Style:

Tabletops in 2020 are bold, bright, fun, and adventurous! That said, if you prefer a more refined table, don’t be afraid to keep scrolling. Romantic candles and lush florals are also on-trend as we enter a new decade. There are no rules except to experiment, have fun, and express yourself with your wedding tabletops.
