Simple Elegance

Don’t you love this minimalist look?

Clean lines and elegant symmetry can be romantic and warm when paired with the right accessories. Crisp white, hints of gold, and beautiful greenery can turn a simple room into an intimate seating area. Dramatic draping, mixed with twinkle lights and ivy bring the outdoors inside. The rustic accents of the French Country Chairs and Mahogany Benches complete this simple, yet elegant reception area.

 

Think Outside the Venue

Sometimes nature has the best decorations. This enchanted, whimsical reception area looks like it came straight out of A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

Filigree Glass Chargers and simple, yet stunning Rose Gold Flatware bring beautiful sparkle to this tablescape. Feathery greenery, hinted with lavender and ivory florals give a beautiful contrast to the Grace Etched Glass Stemware. The deep brown of the Mahogany Chiavari Chairs complements the surrounding area, making this reception area feel as if it were created right in nature.

 

Go For the Gold

Ballroom venues are wonderful blank canvases to create your perfect reception look.

Instead of using gold as an accent, make this rich, bold metallic your main color. Shades of deep purples, lilac and plum look stunning with the Filigree Glass Charger and Brushed Gold Flatware. Beautiful candlesticks of various heights give the table stunning definition. The gorgeous Gold Chiavari Chairs and Satin Gold Chiavari Pads finalize the look. Your guests will enjoy raising a glass to you at this perfect table.

 

Bold Colors

After a beautiful outdoor ceremony, surprise your guests with an elegant, yet bold, reception area at any farm wedding venue.

Vibrant florals alongside classic Mercury Glass Candlesticks with delicate white candles create a dramatic look mixed with the tall candelabras. The Gold Rim Stemware and Baroque Gold Flatware pair well with the soft ivory and gold on the table. The Mahogany Chiavari Chairs wrap up the gorgeous setting.

The contrast of the rustic outdoor setting and the bold glamour of this tablescape makes a truly unforgettable statement.

 

Rustic Simplicity

You don’t need bright colors and tall centerpieces to create a dramatic tablescape. This stunning table brings incredible drama to the space…which happens to be a barn venue!

With the newlyweds sitting at the head of the table, the wedding guests enjoy an intimate celebration with each other. The Champagne Glitter Glass Chargers and the Gold Rim Stemware line up perfectly with the extended floral and greenery table runner. The gold candles mixed throughout bring a warmth to the room. The Gold Chiavari Chairs complete this rich and rustic setting.

 

Rustic Glam

A rustic reception table doesn’t have to be barn wood and barrels. The stunning Richard Table is perfect with the simple greenery and soft white florals. The soft, worn wood of the French Country Chairs bring an elegant, rustic feel to the event. Mismatched stemware and gorgeous candlesticks create a romantic setting with a few simple pieces.

The versatility of The Richard and the French Country Chairs are endless. With the addition of the Ivory French County Pads, the look transforms. The Square Gold Belmont Glass Chargers and the Gold Rustic Candelabras add a sophisticated, classic look. Adding dramatic floral centerpieces and tapered candles creates a sweet, romantic tablescape.

 

Warm and Inviting

Romantic, rustic, and rich describe this table perfectly.

The warm glow of the candles sparkle off the Gold Sea Sponge Glass Chargers and Gold Rim Stemware. The geometric centerpieces represent the newlyweds’ playful personality. The French Country Chairs tie the look together and complete the warm atmosphere that the guest will talk about for days to come, long after the party is over.

 

Monochromatic, Yet Bold

These gorgeous white Geo Glass Top Tables are practically their own centerpiece and pair well with classic White Chiavari Chairs. An elegant tall centerpiece with a delicate floral arrangement is a brilliant contrast to the sharp angles of this setting. The Silver Painted Glass Chargers blend in perfectly with the glass top, while giving off a hint of shimmer and shine.

Who says all white has to be boring? There are so many options that you can design with these beautiful pieces.

 

Subdued Florals

Farmhouse style tables are a beautiful way to create an intimate, warm setting for your guests. The classic White French Country Chair works well with both the dark wood table and the Whitewashed Farm Table.

Utilizing the length of these tables with low floral centerpieces gives your guests the opportunity to enjoy the company of the other guests. Either paired with the Grace Etched Glass Stemware or Standard Stemware, these tables will give your guests a wonderful place to sit back and enjoy the reception.
