A long banquet table decorated with white linens is always a classic choice.
Long banquet tables are a popular choice at wedding receptions and large dinner parties. Break up the boxy, plain look of banquet tables with small centerpieces that will bring color and texture to the table. With these banquet table decoration ideas, anyone will be able to create a beautiful, interesting look that guests will enjoy.
Garden Decor
Tall, slender flower arrangements add a sophisticated, elegant look to any table. Use slim, clear glass vases and tall, creeping plants or flowers to create a dramatic effect. Maidenhair fern, zinnias and dahlias add color and texture to the arrangement. Arrange the flowers loosely in the tall vases to create a garden-style effect and bring natural beauty indoors.
Paper Lanterns
Instead of using flowers, add a personalized touch to the table with paper lanterns. Using stiff card stock and a color printer, anyone may create four-sided squares that stand alone and stand out on the table. Add a schedule of events, list of key speakers or banquet participants and other relevant information to the four panels. Add colorful graphics to make the paper lanterns eye-catching and interesting to guests.
Short Squares
Tall, bulky centerpieces may easily create a cluttered look on a long banquet table, and can restrict guests' view of each other. Instead of building height on the table, use short, square glass vases. Add a single, large-blossomed flower to create a simple but stunning effect. Hydrangeas, peonies and stargazer lilies boast large blossoms that grow in a variety of different colors. Vases should also be clear in order to add decoration that looks streamlined and won't restrict guests' view of the table.
Tall Candles
Candles add light and a look of romance to the banquet table. Incorporate them into centerpiece designs by hanging slender votives from tall, branching centerpieces. Arrange cherry blossom branches in a tall vase, and hang the votives using clear wire or colored ribbon. For another candle decoration option, fill tall vases with water and place floating candles on top.
