Wedding Decor: Rustic Charm
A wedding with rustic charm doesn’t necessarily have to be in the classic country house style. A beautiful cabin wedding that incorporates natural materials like wood, linen, and fabrics in muted earth tones always looks harmonious yet contemporary. You can liven up the understated table arrangements by choosing something extravagant for the flowers—like lush white pampas grass —or by adding a touch of color to the rustic-chic style with soft shades of pink.

Wedding Decor: Minimalist & Clean
Heads up—this is super trendy! Table decorations with minimalist touches are all the rage. But don’t let minimalism fool you—this table decoration trend is no less labor-intensive than a fully decorated table: When it comes to minimalism, it’s essential to arrange the vases, glasses, and napkins in exactly the right spots so that the overall look is minimalist and harmonious. The color palette for minimalist wedding tables is limited to gray, white, beige, and green.

Vintage Charm at the Wedding Reception Table
Bring the charm of days gone by to your wedding reception table! With this wedding style in particular, it’s important that you really commit fully to a single theme. Feel free to incorporate individual boho elements. However, with a vintage theme, you shouldn’t try to squeeze in three other wedding themes—that’ll be too much! Vintage charm can be achieved with items like antique vases, old photo albums, dried flowers, fruit, and embroidered cloth napkins.
