Wedding & Elopement Table Scape - Make it FEEL like You.

A well designed tablescape holds a huge place in a memorable wedding or elopement. For couples planning intimate celebrations, the details of your table setting are an opportunity to create an atmosphere that feels both very personal and VERY luxurious. From choosing the perfect linens to picking out a statement centerpiece, every element should work together to tell your love story.

Whether you're tying the knot on the West Coast, in a cozy mountain lodge, or an urban loft, this guide will help you design a stunning tablescape that reflects your style and elevates your wedding experience.

TABLE LInens, the foundation of your design

Linens set the tone for your tablescape, providing the canvas for the rest of your design. You can opt for luxurious materials like velvet, linen, or gauze to create depth and texture within a similar color pallet, or to stand out against it. Choosing colors that reflect your wedding tones and you as a couple can be beautiful, like soft neutrals for a timeless look, bold jewel tones for drama, or pastels for a romantic vibe. Considering layering table runners or overlays to add dimension and elegance, and pops with runners can be absolutely stunning. There is also nothing wrong with monochrome either, which can be a gorgeous way to subtly stand out,

more than just dishware - this can provide a huge personal touch.

With small weddings and intimate elopements, you have the opportunity to truly bring the WOW factor to your table settings by elevating the small touches, like the dish ware. Do you opt for vintage plates? Consider minimalist white plates for versatility or patterned plates for a pop of personality, or to showcase beautiful catering. Round plates are classic, but modern square or organic shapes can add interest. Stacking a smaller salad plate or appetizer dish atop the dinner plate for a polished, layered look and give you the chance to pick a detailed smaller plate to stand out.

guest cards and menus

With time to focus on every detail, we think custom guest cards or menus are both practical and highly elegant. Consider:

  • Matching them to your color palette and overall design for a cohesive, elevated look.

  • Incorporating unique materials like vellum, acrylic, or handmade paper for added sophistication.

  • Using calligraphy, writing them personally or adding embossed details to make each piece feel like a work of art.

flatware, a subtle statement

Flatware is a detail that can often get overlooked but can make a big impact. Choose finishes that align with your overall style: gold for warmth, matte black for modernity, or brushed silver for timeless elegance.

Chargers: The Understated Elegance

Often overlooked, but in our minds, ALWAYS lovely, the charger plate. Chargers serve both form and function, adding sophistication while anchoring the plate setting. Materials like glass, wood, rattan or metal can tie into your wedding’s theme and location, whether it be the gorgeous Utah mountains or an intimate venue. For a high end feel, choose chargers with intricate details like beading, texture, or metallic finishes., like our vintage rattan chargers.

napkins, folded with care.. or not?

Napkins are a versatile design element that can tie your tablescape together.

  • Play with fabric textures like linen or velvet for a sophisticated and thought out touch.

  • Experiment with napkin folds, like trying knots for a casual look or intricate folds for formality.

  • Add embellishments like napkin rings, sprigs of greenery, or tied ribbon for a unique and personal touch.

drinkwear, functional elegance

Drinkware offers another opportunity to infuse personality into your tablescape. Opt for colored glassware to add a playful touch, or use vintage-inspired goblets or glasses for romantic celebrations or modern etched glasses for sleek designs. Make sure to ensure your choices align with the drinks being served, from wine to signature cocktails, this adds quite the luxe combo of continuity and grace.
