A well designed table is a must-have for any wedding reception, big or small, so our stylist + planner, Shadow, is sharing her top tips for planning your tablescape!
Keep your venue in mind – In choosing your venue, you’ve made a step toward determining your wedding style. So, it’s important to create a vision that’s cohesive to better tell your wedding day story. Instead of trying to alter it, enhance it with a stunning tablescape that represents not only the style of the venue but your design aesthetic.
TIP: Collect images that show your venue in different angles and lighting. Think about the big picture rather just one small aspect to bring your design to life.
Select your place settings – Most often we immediately think about the centerpieces, and although those are incredibly important we can’t forget to complete the look with place settings. Adding flatware, china, chargers, paper goods and small details will create a cohesive design.
TIP: Chargers can add color, texture and a chic element to any table.
Choosing your chairs – A chair isn’t just a chair… they finish off the table and can really tie together your design details. Lots of venues include standard folding chairs, but there are so many other options available! Chairs comes in Good different finishes, colors, and styles. They should complement not only the tablescape but the overall space.
TIP: Don’t be afraid to step out of box and play dress up with your chairs using floral or chic chair jackets.
The couple planned ahead and worked with their venue manager to come up with a back-up plan, a must-have when booking an outdoor venue. That, and having a kick-butt vendor team, allowed Katie + Travis to still have the picture perfect wedding they had always planned.
The bridal suite has officially been dubbed the “VIP Lounge” – not only does it boast a luxurious seating area, but also a fabulous changing area! Each lovely lady gets her own space to hang her dress and store personal items {purse, dancing shoes, etc.}.
The couple chose to keep a clean, neutral color palette, which allowed the pretty pastel colors in the centerpieces and cake to pop!
Jane thought of every detail for her attire. She embraced subtle embellishments from her gown to her peek-a-boo heels.
Coordinating weddings such as this one, remind us of how grand love truly is.

If you can’t tell, the RW gals are slightly obsessed {okay, super obsessed} with floral crowns, so Miss Lesley helped us setup a fun floral crown station!
This social lounge! Our stylists mixed and matched a selection of new pieces from our inventory {including upholstered seating, side tables, and coffee tables} to create an elegant seating area for show attendees.
What’s a bridal show without some treats!? 
The bride incorporated just a handful of rustic touches, which paired perfectly with the subdued color palette of pinks + ivory.

See, we told you they like to have fun! Stop by the Cypress Grove Estate House 
How adorable is this pastel social lounge our styling team dreamed up!? Our vintage pieces started out at cocktail hour and then made their way to the reception later in the afternoon {so guests could rest their feet from breaking it down on the dance floor}.
The couple hosted a super gorgeous reception featuring all sorts of lovely design elements {and a yummy, plated meal} – gold chargers, simple {but stunning} florals on guest tables, and calligraphed table numbers.
Three cakes? Yes, please!
