Beautiful table setting
Tips & inspiration
For a beautiful wedding table setting, choose a color palette that feels right for the day. Use flowers, candles, and a few personal touches to bring the tables to life. Ensure that everything from tableware to decorations matches the overall style and theme. Good lighting sets the mood and creates an inviting atmosphere. The most important thing is that the table setting feels personal and welcoming. Below are some tips for creating a complete wedding table setting.
Place it right
Plates and Cutlery
At a wedding reception, it is common to have two forks: the main course fork is placed to the left of the plate, with the salad fork to its left. The butter knife is placed to the right of the plate with the blade facing inward. If a teaspoon is needed, it is placed to the right of the knife, and if soup is served, the soup spoon is placed to the right of the teaspoon. The bread and butter plate is positioned above the forks.

Placing the Glasses Correctly
Glasses should be arranged from left to right in the following order: champagne glass, water glass, white wine glass, and red wine glass. They should be slightly overlapped in a diagonal line for an elegant arrangement.
Make it personal
Decorations
The choice of decorations is personal and depends on the style and theme. For round tables, centerpieces are usually placed in the middle to create balance and symmetry. On long tables, smaller decorative elements are often spread evenly along the table to maintain a harmonious and cohesive look.
Table elegance
Seating Arrangement
Place the place cards between the cutlery, underneath the napkin. If the napkin is placed in the center of the plate, it is best to position the place card above it. The seating arrangement should also be displayed on a board visible to guests upon entering the dining area. Additionally, it can be a nice touch to provide menu cards on the tables so guests can see what will be served.
A day to remember
Personal Keepsake Gift
It is a common tradition to give wedding guests a small keepsake as a token of appreciation for their presence. These gifts can be personalized, such as an item featuring the couple’s names and wedding date, or something that reflects the wedding’s theme. The gift is often placed on the guests' plates or above the table setting, serving as a warm reminder of the special day.
