The Head Table

The head table, where the bride, groom and wedding party sit, usually has some extra special decorations. The decorations and centerpieces are usually more elaborate in this part of the reception site and with good reason. The guests will look up at that table, and at the guests at the table as well as their surroundings, more than they will look anywhere else. Because of this more time, energy, effort and money usually goes into planning and decorating this table as well as making sure everything looks perfect.

So what kind of wedding table flowers will the guests be seeing every time they glance your way? Many brides opt for a cascading flower arrangement, one which is longer the taller and can be draped across the front of the table. The flowers in this arrangement can be matched to your wedding theme or color scheme so that they match the rest of the centerpieces and decorations.

Simple Flower Arrangements

Wedding table flowers can come in many shapes, colors and sizes. If you are looking for a basic flower arrangement you can choose flowers which are short, medium length or tall. Whatever you decide to choose will change how the arrangement looks. You flowers can go into basic vases, pedestal vases, pots, glass bowls or anything else which will accommodate their needs. These arrangements can stand alone or you can accent them by placing them on a mirror, surrounding them with rose petals, candles, fruit or leaves.

The Head table and the guest tables are the two major spots where you would want to decorate with flowers. However, that does not mean they are the only spots that you can do so. You can certainly decorate the entry table, the gift table, the buffet table, the bar or the cake table with flowers as well. Because these other tables will not have people sitting around them you could even use very large or very tall centerpieces on these tables as these wedding table flowers would not get in the way of anyone, they would only add to the decoration and beauty of your reception.
