How to Decorate a Reception Head Table With a Table Curtain

Table curtains add to upscale wedding table settings.

Often at the front of the room in visible view, the head table can be decorated to be extremely visually appealing and eye-catching. If you are planning on having a head table at your wedding, particularly if using an unattractive banquet table, consider decorations such as a table curtain. This is a simple way to add elegance to an otherwise plain table.

Things You'll Need

• Table cloth
• Table curtain
