Wedding table runners make easy table decorations. Just lay across each table and instantly add color, warmth and style to your wedding reception. These wedding decorations make a bold impact when paired with coordinating table linens, personalized napkins, matching place cards and offer a good alternative to expensive wedding centerpieces. Rather than spend a fortune on costly floral decorations, you can make a similar dramatic statement with personalized wedding table runners. If you are a creative, savvy or DIY bride you can even embellish these table runners to add more pizzazz to them! You could line the sides with elegant ribbons, decorate them with crystal accents or layer them over different fabrics to give them a decadent feel. Think outside the box when it comes to decorating them to make them your own. By adding your own personal touch, you've just created your very own table runners for your wedding.
Round tables or rectangular tables? Venues often offer round tables for venues because they can fit the most people in a small space, but if you have the room ask for rectangular banquet tables. Alternatively, if space isn't an issue you can combine rectangular tables with round for visual interest. The prevailing wisdom is that guests are able to speak to the most people at a rectangular table. That is they can speak to the guests next to them and across from them, unlike at round tables. If you are looking to keep your wedding decorations and centerpieces to a minimum for budget or aesthetic reasons, rectangular tables are the way to go. Once the table settings are set there is usually only six-inch swath running down the table center. With a few artfully placed bud vases and candles and a wedding table runner, you’re done with your wedding decorations - at a minimal cost.
