Enhance with unique favors—Another way to kick up the look of your reception tables a notch is to pick out wedding favors that also act as decor pieces. While most wedding favors double as decor pieces, some are more decorative than others and have the power to accentuate the reception’s theme much better than others. Some are so unique that they can even take your table decor from okay to excellent. Consider key chains, candles, and bagged or boxed edible favors that complement your theme, whether it’s music, art, or a cultural theme.

Rethink your centerpieces—One of the most obvious yet important ways to transform your wedding reception tables is to rethink your centerpieces. Your centerpieces are the first thing your guests will notice when they enter the room and spot your tables. If you had to choose small flower arrangements due to budget, consider adding candles or other decorative pieces around the arrangements to add a little extra something to the tables. If you can afford to add more flowers or have a unique, abstract arrangement put in place, these changes will also help transform your wedding reception tables from drab to fabulous.
