How to Personalize the Bride and Groom's Table

Every wedding is special for the couple whose relationship it celebrates. When the guests enter the reception, there should be no question about which table the bride and groom will be sitting. The table should be personalized to set it apart.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Decoupaged candle

1. 
    
   Wedding Reception

   Create a personalized table at your wedding reception using fun, low-cost ideas. This is an inexpensive decoration that will set the bridal party table apart. Make candles for the bride and groom. (If you don't know how, see my How to Decoupage a Candle article in resources). Use copies of photos of the wedding announcement picture, a copy of part of the invitation, or copies of any pictures of the couple. Decorate them with flowers that compliment the wedding colors. Place them on simple candle trays and have them ready to be lit.

2. 
    
   Wedding Joys

   Decorate with a heart wreath attached to the front of the bridal table. Buy a heart-shaped form, cover it with flowers like those used in the wedding and hang it on the front of the table.

3. 
    
   Bride and Groom at the reception

   Make cute place card holders that have a wire picture holder. A few suggestions for what you can use: miniature terra cotta pots, glass candle holders, or metal shapes. Put BRIDE and GROOM on the couple's place cards and put the place holder at their seats.
