Fruits
Yes, the most ordinary fruits can transform your table beyond recognition. Just don’t imagine them folded into an even mound in a vase – act outside the box. Apples, pears, pomegranates, and citrus fruits are perfect for these purposes. Everything that does not lose its appearance for a long time. Place them in the center of the table, using greenery as a backing - this option can be called the simplest. And after dinner, the fruits can be used for their intended purpose.
If beauty is more important to you than rationality, feel free to cut fruits (especially citrus fruits) in half or into slices. An amazing smell will also add to the interesting decor.
In general, there are a lot of options for how to use fruits. For example, you can place a small tree (lime, orange or lemon) in the center of the table, and place its fruits on plates. Or add fruit to a transparent vase in which the bouquet stands. Just make sure that none of the guests accidentally encroaches on this “lemonade.”
Decoupage: how to create a picture on the table without knowing how to draw
Basic materials for decorating using the decoupage technique are special napkins with drawings, favorite images on paper, photographs, newspapers, scraps of wallpaper, music paper... Any flat pictures will do; the thinner they are, the more accurate the result will be. You can even use fabric and lace.
Combination of decoupage and coloring
The prepared surface of the table, be it wood or metal, must be coated with acrylic paint. After it has dried, the selected image is applied to the tabletop, and PVA, slightly diluted with water, is generously applied to it. Then the glue is carefully spread over the picture using a soft brush, starting from the center. As a result, the image is glued to the table. Pictures can be used to cover both individual parts of the table and the entire furniture. After the tabletop has completely dried, it is coated with acrylic varnish, or, if more reliable protection is needed, with yacht varnish.

Ice cream cones
No, you didn't think so. This year, the “delicious” trend has gained a strong position. In decoration, horns are usually used instead of wrapping paper in mini-bouquets. It looks funny and very cute. Try it - your guests will be delighted.
Balloons
What holiday would be complete without balloons? Now decorators have gone further and offer to decorate not only rooms with them, but also the table itself. They can be placed in the center or attached to each guest's plate. But this decor option should be considered as temporary, since it will have to be removed later: after all, peeking out from behind the balls, trying to catch the eye of your neighbor on the table, is not very convenient.
Therefore, a convenient alternative was invented. Instead of a large number of balls, only one is used, but in a beautiful composition. Usually the ball is tied to a basket with flowers or sweets. By the way, this gave florists a new idea: often this combination is designed in the form of a balloon.
Paper boats
Another extremely budget-friendly way to decorate your holiday table. Boats can be made from regular paper, colored or craft paper. It all depends on the theme of your holiday. For example, at a children's birthday party, kids can be invited to apply their own patterns to a completely white frigate.
Textile decoration of table and chairs
Typically, restaurants provide sparse textile decorations. White covers for chairs and 1-2 options for skirts for tables. Moreover, one of the two options will be white.

Only in the best restaurants, where everyone understands how important the overall design is, will they be able to offer you different design and serving options.

You can do a lot of interesting things yourself. You have a limitless field of imagination in your hands. Try it! Share your ideas with us in the comments , or simply order fabric decoration from us.

Branches
And again, a decoration that can be obtained absolutely free. The branches are perfect for dining in a slightly mystical atmosphere. The main thing is to add more candles. If you think that this decor looks too gloomy, you can paint the branches with bright or pearlescent paint or decorate them with flowers and leaves.
Leaves
Speaking of leaves. When dried, they can also be an excellent table decoration. We do not recommend using green leaves torn from the branches, as they quickly lose their external freshness. But their dried “brethren” will decorate any autumn party, and it is not at all necessary to make bouquets from them.

Greenery
The undisputed leader in frequency of use in table decor in the 2018-2019 season. Moreover, it is valued by decorators in any form: both in the form of individual branches and in the form of lush garlands. Eucalyptus, ivy, pine needles and succulents have gained particular popularity.
As for the ways to use greens, there are a huge number of them. For example, twigs can be casually scattered around the table, decorated into beautiful wreaths, decorated with greenery on the serving utensils or napkins, and placed tiny bouquets with name plates attached to them in front of each of the guests. By the way, the tropics are still in fashion, so take a closer look at the plants that you strongly associate with the jungle.
Forever or temporarily?
The functional condition of the table is generally good, but its design is boring or seems outdated? Decorative details that can be easily changed if desired will help. The type of temporary decorations is selected depending on the type of table: from a tablecloth to a voluminous decorative composition. Thanks to table decor, you can refresh the interior of the room as a whole.
Film imitating marble
Temporary ways to transform a table include various stickers and self-adhesive films. If necessary, they are easy to remove, and not a trace will remain on the surface of the furniture. The range of self-adhesive films is wide: plain, mirror, imitating natural textures, with a 3D effect... They need to be glued to a thoroughly cleaned surface, otherwise all defects will be emphasized. It is worth cutting a piece of film of the required size with a margin of a few centimeters on all sides.
Decor from self-adhesive film can be cut out yourself
The protective paper layer is removed from a small area of the film. Then, slightly stretching, apply the sticky layer to the tabletop and smooth it with a soft cloth towards the nearest edge to get rid of air bubbles. After this, the next section of the paper layer is peeled off and the procedure is repeated. At the end of the work, the excess film is cut off, and the ends of the tabletop are covered with special tape or edges.
Modest flowers
Stylish decor does not have to resemble the decorations on royal tables. Sometimes a very small detail can leave the most powerful impression. This technique is often used by decorators, especially since it costs several times less than all others.
One flower or a modest bouquet is most often used to decorate cutlery; they can also be placed on a plate as a small compliment before the start of dinner. Stock up on ribbons - they will add completeness to the composition.
Bouquets
Of course, speaking about decor, we couldn’t help but mention bouquets. Without a doubt, they always look spectacular. Unless you need to follow simple rules. It is not customary to place flowers in cellophane on the table; in addition, it is better to choose a transparent, plain-colored vase for them so that it does not block the view and does not distract attention from the bouquet itself.
Lately, decorators have been giving preference to simpler compositions. These can even be flowers without any decorations - they are beautiful in their naturalness. As well as bouquets of wildflowers. Their main drawback is the short flowering period. It is also considered fashionable to make more than one large bouquet, but to combine several small ones in different vessels.
Tips for decorating and decorating the holiday table
Holiday table decoration with fresh flowers
It is best to use low flower arrangements to decorate the table. It is important that flower arrangements leave space on the table both for direct communication and for the most important thing - festive dishes. In addition, it is much easier to choose flowers for low vases.
Low vase with flowers for the table
Tall vases can, of course, also be used. But you need to choose the shape of the vase very correctly. A striking example of a good choice is a martini-style vase. Due to the high, long, thin leg, it does not interfere with the arrangement of dishes or communication between guests.

If you order decoration from florists, you can together think through a composition that will beautifully rise above the heads of the guests. And again, do not interfere at all.
Table decoration with flowers for a wedding
There are two types of tables: round and square. Round vases look best on round tables. On tables of the second type it is better to place vases of appropriate shapes. This simple rule will bring harmony to your holiday table.
Holiday table decoration
Carefully select the types of flowers to decorate your table.
Flowers with a rich, pungent odor will greatly distract guests. Not to mention the fact that they can cause allergies in some people. Pollen-laden flowers can stain tablecloths or even guests' clothes.
Lily is not the best choice for table decoration
Ideal flowers for the table : Roses, carnations, lisianthus, gerberas, freesias.
Bottles and cans
If you start preparing for the holiday in advance, pay attention to what you put in the trash. Suddenly some things will look much better on your holiday table. These include, for example, tin cans. Why isn't this a stylish vase?
The same goes for glass bottles, especially if they are of a non-standard shape or color. In this case, you don’t even have to put anything in them; they will be perceived as an element of stylish decor. But such decoration needs to be combined with the overall theme of the holiday. It is perfect for a rustic style.
Don't throw away any extra jars either. Take them to grandma for sunsets or use them as decoration. They make excellent vases and candlesticks, especially if you complement them with twine or ribbons.
Table decoration with candles
Candles are perhaps the most romantic decor available in the public domain. Even the most ordinary candle is very easy to turn into a piece of art. To do this, you need to wrap it with a satin ribbon, thin wire, attach several beads or even skeletonized petals. 2 minutes and in front of you is no longer just a candle, but a real holiday decor.
Decoration of the newlyweds' table
You can come up with a lot of interesting things with candles. For example, you can immerse them in water. Moreover, there are so many options for a vase-candle that there is no point in even writing about it.
Candles are a very good table decoration
And so that the candle flame pleases the eyes of your guests throughout the holiday, make the candle yourself, right in the cup. Melt the wax into a cup, add a wick and your very own candle is ready.
DIY candle
Candles create coziness. Especially in those rooms where it is possible to dim the lights.

Glasses and glasses
Yes, they can also be used not only for their intended purpose and even not only in the way that is familiar to us. All you have to do is...turn them over. And inside you can hide a flower in a small pot. Guests will be absolutely delighted.
Of course, glasses can also be used as vases. If you fill them completely with flowers, it will feel like the most unusual dessert in the world has been placed in front of each guest.
Tablecloths
At this point, most likely, an unexpected discovery awaits you. Leave white starched tablecloths for receptions at the highest level; lightness and even some negligence are in fashion. Firstly, decorators suggest covering only the center of the table with fabric, secondly, lowering it to the ground, and thirdly, forgetting about ironing. We recommend that you study the article about interior doors, quality ratings of manufacturers in 2021.
As for colors, white and gray are the most popular, complemented by gold or bronze cutlery and clear glass stemware. This trend dictates a certain philosophy: relax and enjoy what is happening.
Take note: it will look stylish if you use several tablecloths at once. Moreover, they can be covered even on top of each other, even crosswise, even across. If you like classic options, don’t worry - they never lose their relevance. The main thing is to supplement them with modern details.
Complex serving
An option for those who are willing to get involved is to offer a change of cutlery and a few placemats. Good news: it is not at all necessary that all the dishes come from the same collection. On the contrary, the more non-standard combinations you come up with, the cooler it will be.
In fact, you don’t need much to make your table setting look sophisticated. There can even be only one set of cutlery, except that you need two plates of different sizes, a linen napkin (in no case paper!) and a cute element that will tie the whole composition together.
Details
In this subsection, we have collected those details that will make even a simple table setting unforgettable and create the atmosphere you need. The first element is candles; they can save even the most dull situation. The second is nameplates. This is simply a rule of good manners and a sign of respect for guests.
The third detail is the decor, located in the center of the table. It will help make all decorations more visible. The fourth (important) detail is good napkins, but we mentioned this above.
And finally, the fifth point is an element that evokes a strong association with the hosts of the evening. It could be a piece in your favorite color, a sign signed by you personally, or your favorite plant. In any case, this will emphasize the mood with which you were preparing for the holiday.
Tips on how to make a bouquet with fresh flowers
Floristry is a real art. An incorrectly placed or chosen flower bouquet can ruin the overall appearance of the entire room. Therefore, it is extremely important to take into account all the details when drawing up.
Before you start arranging your bouquet, consider whether you have a general color for the event. This will be an interesting solution if you follow at least a few color elements. Be careful, there should not be one color . It will look harmonious and original in combination.
Decide on your financial situation. There are those plants that cost quite a lot, so you won’t be able to afford them.
Choose based on what you, the bride and groom, like best. You shouldn’t adapt to the tastes of your guests, because this is your event. Therefore, only you are in charge.
