Table decoration is one of the most important elements of any occasion. And although the table can of course also be made pretty in everyday life, it should be given special attention, especially when visitors are expected. When it comes to the individual elements and types of decoration, the colors and the style, there are so many variations for different occasions that you are quickly spoiled for choice. To make it a little easier for you for various occasions, we have summarized everything important on the topicTable decorationcompiled.
Table decoration for everyday life
Everyone is sure to be happy about a table that is nice to look at in everyday life, be it a coffee table, a dining table or a side table. The room looks much more comfortable. And it doesn’t have to be anything elaborate. A simple table decoration is completely sufficient in everyday life. A pretty tablecloth or table runner makes a big difference and doesn't necessarily have to be complemented by other things. If this is still too simple for you, you can of course also add some figures, a flower arrangement or a vase to create a beautiful everyday table decoration.
Match the color of the table decoration to your interior. If the table decoration is not to be associated with a specific occasion, neutral elements are recommended that are chosen according to your furnishing style. The design, colors and materials are determined by this style. The decoration automatically becomes part of the overall furnishings, giving the home the finishing touch.
Festive table decorations
However, if there is a particular celebration happening at the moment, a festive table decoration is very useful to get you and the whole family in the right mood. The decorations can not only decorate the table on the day of the celebration, but can also be designed in advance and remain for some time afterwards. You can also change the decorations from time to time during this time. This is especially common when fresh flowers decorate your table. Matching colors underline the theme and give the whole thing harmony.
The table decoration is not only an important element in your home. The right table decoration is also a must at a garden party, wedding, christening or other celebration. Of course, whether it is a romantic, funny or elegant table decoration depends entirely on the occasion and the theme. We'll talk about these below.
Tablecloths and table runners
The basis of a beautiful table decoration are the tablecloths or runners. Although these are not a mandatory element (there are no strict rules when decorating), they are a welcome and used part of the table decoration. The design of the tablecloths can emphasize the style and theme. Next time you buy decorations, just look for suitable models. Alternatively, you can also make pretty blankets and runners yourself. Not only fabrics can be used for this purpose. Natural materials can also be used for pretty designs.
In terms of fabrics, the best option is again determined by the style and theme. While linen fabric goes wonderfully with rustic decoration, lace can be used for vintage style. Fleece tablecloths can be used as a base for a combination with a table runner, but also look great on their own. The organza tablecloth is also very popular for an elegant table decoration. It is characterized by its shimmering and transparent look and is often used in the form of a runner or in a square shape as an accent on a neutral tablecloth that covers the entire dining table.
Flower table decoration
Flowers are, without a doubt, a very popular element for decorating tables. Both artificial and fresh cut flowers are often used. As a floral arrangement, you can put together more than just bouquets of flowers that can be chosen in color to match the occasion and the rest of the decoration and displayed in vases. Flower arrangements or arrangements under glass bells are also a wonderful option. The flowers should of course be chosen to suit the season. A table decoration with tulips, for example, is best suited for spring and Easter. The same goes for all other spring flowers, which include daffodils, crocuses, hyacinths and forsythias. A table decoration with sunflowers is best suited for summer, late summer or autumn, while in everyday life you can use neutral flowers such as roses or hydrangeas. Orchids are very elegant. They decorate the table especially at weddings that are supposed to be modern or elegant, with a large selection of color variations being offered.
Lavender for table decoration is not only very attractive in autumn, when all the other autumn flowers and dry flowers are very suitable. Lavender is also suitable for other seasons if the table decoration is to be designed in a vintage or rustic style. Lavender exudes a nostalgic atmosphere that is wonderfully suitable for these styles. Since different colors are offered for many seasonal flowers, pretty color schemes can be put together. A great example is the table decoration with calla lilies. If you want an elegant decoration, simply choose the white flower. For autumn, flower arrangements can be put together with an orange or yellow calla lily. Yellow is also very suitable for spring. Whether you use individual flowers for the table decoration with flowers or combine different ones is a matter of taste.
Table decoration with fruit
Have you ever thought about decorating the table with fruit? Fruit can either be chosen as an accent or be the focal point. You've probably used pumpkins as table decorations during Halloween. But other fruits are also great. Combine the flower arrangement, for example, with an apple, a pear, lime or other fruits and create an interesting highlight. Even a simple fruit bowl filled with different, seasonal fruits is a pretty eye-catcher and you have something healthy to snack on. And even vegetables like cabbage or artichokes are wonderful for decorating and are particularly suitable for autumn.
If you want to go one step further, you can also carve a watermelon and use it for a unique table decoration. There are many different variants for this. To start, try a simpler design. You can then use the carved watermelon as a bowl for any flower and fruit arrangements. Feel free to use fruits and vegetables to decorate the feast. After all, the beautifully served food is also part of the table decoration.
Decorate romantically with candles
The good old candles, which once only served to provide light in the evening hours, are now associated with romance and for many people are simply part of the table decoration. And with the large selection of sizes, shapes and colors, it's not difficult to find something that suits the occasion. They can stand alone or in groups, decorate table wreaths and shine in lanterns, and be set up individually or in groups.
You can stage candles in different ways. Combine them in a arrangement as a table decoration or use lanterns and candle holders that match the occasion, which you can also make yourself. The table decoration with candles impresses with its colors and shapes during the day, while in the evening it fills the room with charming light.
Decorate the festive table with napkins
Whether it's Christmas, Easter, a wedding or a birthday, when it comes to setting the table for the banquet, things get particularly complex. In addition to the decorative elements already mentioned, you now also have to find the right crockery and cutlery. There are also placemats, napkins, napkin rings and possibly name tags. The banquet table makes a particularly beautiful impression if you fold napkins for the table decoration. Use fabric or paper napkins that match the occasion and the rest of the decoration in terms of color and pattern.
If folding the napkins is too laborious for you, you can simply form them into a roll and then decorate them with napkin rings. The napkin rings can be wonderfully made yourself and don't even have to be particularly elaborate to make a good impression. Cutlery bags are also very popular and can also be folded yourself.
Place mats and coasters
You can make the pretty dishes stand out by placing them on attractive place mats. You don't necessarily have to use a placemat as you know it. Other things can also be used for this purpose. A lace doily, for example, looks beautifully romantic and can be used for table decorations in a country house, vintage or rustic style in everyday life, but also for a wedding. In autumn, placemats can be made from leaves or thin slices of wood, bright colors and fruit motifs are suitable for summer, and suitable motifs such as snowflakes are suitable for winter and Christmas. Whole snowflakes can be quickly and easily cut out of felt. The same applies to the coasters on the glasses. Place mats, coasters and table mats are certainly not a must on the banquet table, but they can contribute to a nice overall look.
Name tags as table decorations
Name tags usually come in handy when putting together table decorations for a particularly large event where many guests are expected. This includes weddings, youth ordinations or confirmations and similar celebrations. Nevertheless, nothing prevents you from using name tags to make it easier for guests to find their place, even at Christmas, Easter or birthdays when the entire family is invited. And there are no limits to your imagination when it comes to this part of the table decoration. Small, ready-made stands or homemade ones made from fruit can be used, or flower arrangements can be made with name cards. Paint small vases with chalkboard paint and write the name on them or use stickers. Even wooden discs or pine cones are great as stands or you can use glasses for these table decorations and stick labeled cards on the edge of the glass. Come up with something creative!
Decorations for the table in different styles
The table decoration, whether for a specific occasion or for everyday life, can be based on a specific style. The variants are numerous. The modern table decoration is characterized by simple decorations, tablecloths and dishes. Avoid designs that are too lavish. Patterns and motifs are used discreetly, creating a stylish decoration overall. Suitable flowers include orchids and roses. However, other types are anything but forbidden and can be chosen depending on your taste. The decorations can be made of glass, crystal and metal with a shiny surface. A romantic table decoration can be designed regardless of style. Both the modern style and others can look romantic with the right colors and decorations.
The country house style table decoration, for example, is very romantic in itself due to the many natural materials and neutral colors. Linen fabric and wood give a nostalgic touch that is also suitable for oneTable decoration that is rusticshould be, can be used. For the wooden table decoration, use twigs or wooden discs and any flowers that you associate with life in the country. Peonies and meadow flowers are just a small selection. Depending on the season, spring flowers can be combined with suitable fabrics and thus also symbolize one of the styles mentioned. An Italian table decoration also exudes romance and holiday flair. The Mediterranean style is wonderful if an Italian evening is planned. The natural materials already mentioned, as well as motifs that are familiar from Italy, are ideal. Checkered tablecloths like in the Italian restaurant and the colors of the Italian flag are just one possibility. Feel free to display chili peppers or other spices in a glass and use roses or romantic wildflowers. Coasters and table mats in a basket design add the finishing touch.
Exotic styles
If you want to create a particularly exotic atmosphere, you can create an oriental table decoration. The Moroccan style, for example, is characterized by strong, colorful colors and richly ornamented decorations. Choose a beautiful tablecloth and combine it with one or more runners in a bold contrasting color. Decorate the table with beautifully decorated lanterns, lanterns and candlesticks and napkins. Both colorful flowers and succulents are suitable for flower decorations. Arrangements that consist of both variants are particularly pretty. Elements made of mosaic are also perfect for table decoration and you may also find orientally decorated tableware that you can use. The Asian table decoration is also exotic. Bamboo table mats, the Ikebana floral arrangement or Buddhist figures are all things you can use for this style. A bonsai or living bamboo in vases also make great decorations for the center of the table. The fabrics for the tablecloths can be decorated with Chinese or Japanese characters or have other suitable motifs such as the koi fish or the Chinese dragon. An Asian table decoration looks particularly romantic when flowering trees or branches are used as a motif. Arrangements with pebbles or raked sand provide a relaxing Zen feeling and crafts made from Chinese chopsticks are interesting eye-catchers. The colors should largely be neutral. Colors serve more as an accent.
The table decoration in spring
When the cold and gray winter is over and the flowers come back to life, you really get into the decorative mood. You want to bring spring into your home and spread the fresh colors everywhere in the house. Spring flowers and flowering branches are of course best suited for this purpose. Also use twigs and pussy willows and add cute accents with bows and butterflies. But the colors of the rest of the table decorations should also be chosen to match the season. Bright colors such as yellow, a table decoration in green and purple and a table decoration in pink are particularly suitable. Pastel tones have a particularly beautiful and calming effect and are welcome to be used. As a variation on the color purple, you can use a table decoration in lilac.
Create a combination of different colors. The color white as a neutral tone can serve as a buffer to avoid a design that is too colorful or simply to provide a neutral balance. If you still want to add a dark tone amidst all the bright colors, you can also choose a table decoration in aubergine. Use textiles as well as glass, porcelain and natural materials for table decorations.
Ideas for Easter
Since Easter always takes place in spring, all the decoration tips we have mentioned for spring are also suitable for Easter. Use the same colors and elements. However, other decorations are now being added. Of course, the Easter eggs are particularly important. What would Easter table decoration be without eggs? The colorful pieces of jewelry are the highlight of the table decoration at this time and can decorate the table in different ways. It is very popular to create an Easter bouquet from any twigs. The blown out eggs are then hung on it. But you can also create a cute nest and use it to decorate the center of the table. Rabbit and chicken figures can also be set up.
You can put together pretty arrangements in flower boxes with moss and spring flowers or make vases out of eggshells. Eggshells are also suitable for making candles. Use Easter-themed or floral tablecloths or table runners. You can also use glass bells again or, alternatively, cages. It is important that, despite all the possible variations, the table decoration does not end up looking too crowded and kitschy. Be relatively economical and create a stylish table in spring colors such as yellow, orange, light blue, green or a table decoration in pink! A table decoration in purple looks particularly romantic.
The table decoration in summer
Even if summer is not characterized by any special celebrations, it is still wonderful for various garden parties. And these are made really atmospheric by, among other things, appropriate table decorations. Here you can use typical summer flowers or neutral flowers such as orchids and roses. Strong colors such as red, blue or pink can also decorate the table. You can also design the table decorations for the garden party to suit a suitable theme. And what is better for this than the “beach” theme? Combine the table decorations in blue, aqua or turquoise with sand or beige tones. A table decoration in turquoise looks particularly exotic and is associated with the Caribbean and other tropical islands. There are also decorations such as sand, starfish or shells and various nautical motifs. The maritime table decoration should create a feeling as if you were at the sea and beach.
And this is just one example of how you can create table decorations for the summer party! Pretty bouquets of flowers, lanterns and any lanterns in cheerful summer colors, arrangements made of driftwood and other wood, attractive patterns and colorful dishes create the right mood. If you also want to decorate with fruit, choose refreshing citrus fruits such as lemons or limes as well as pineapple, coconut or watermelon. And if you are unlucky enough that it rains on the day of the party, then simply arrange the table decorations for the barbecue party on a covered terrace or inside the house and don't let the weather spoil your fun!
Autumn decorating occasions
Autumn is also known for its pleasant colors. These all come from the warm color palette. You can choose between red, orange, yellow, brown, cream and beige as well as the wonderful burgundy or purple. Of course, great combinations can also be put together. Warm metal colors can also be used and provide an elegant accent. Choose the colors gold or copper and combine them with the nuances already mentioned. The motifs that can be used this time of year are no less diverse. One thing that probably immediately comes to mind is the pumpkin. Whether large or small, it provides the autumn decoration on the table with the right flair.
But other fruits that are usually harvested at this time of year are also perfect for autumn table decorations. Apples, pears and grapes are just a small selection. Ornamental cabbage is also great for creating interesting arrangements for table decorations in autumn. These can be put together with typical autumn flowers such as chrysanthemums. Meadow flowers, grasses and dried flowers are very popular because they not only make the table look pretty but also natural. Don't forget leaves as an element for table decoration. They add a little color to the overall decoration on the table. Real leaves are suitable, but also artificial ones, which you can color yourself as you wish.
School enrollment and Oktoberfest
Around the beginning of fall is also the start of school. First graders are now really celebrated. Of course, the choice of table decorations for starting school should not be so formal, but should be tailored to the child and the occasion. Nevertheless, some of the autumn elements such as colors or fruits can be used for decoration. Combine these with items from school such as pencils, erasers and the sugar bag. You can set the table with either crockery in a matching color or you can use crockery with matching motifs.Alternatively, of course, are suitablealso neutral models that you can easily complement with other suitable table decorations for school.
Around the same time, adults also have a reason to celebrate. It is the time of the internationally famous Oktoberfest. If you don't have the opportunity to attend the festival, you can easily bring it to your home by organizing a party there. Your friends will surely be pleased. Decorate everything according to the occasion. Regardless of whether the party takes place indoors or outdoors, the table is given special attention. It should be a typical Bavarian table decoration, that is, the colors blue and white are in the foreground. These can be represented in the plates, but also in garlands for the table, confetti, flags and streamers. During this time you will certainly have no problem finding cardboard dishes with the desired pattern in blue and white. You can also decorate the table with homemade gingerbread hearts. Plan everything very carefully to create the right atmosphere and perfect table decorations for Oktoberfest.
Celebrate Halloween
Halloween is without a doubt a theme in itself. Although it is a typically American festival, it is no less popular in Germany. Accordingly, you will probably want to decorate your house at this time. The table decoration, an important part, now consists of many autumn motifs and colors. The main colors during this festival are orange and black, which can also be combined with white and purple.
On Halloween, the pumpkin is not only a possible element but also essential and is best carved. Decorate the table with decorative pumpkins and dried flowers, distribute cat, ghost, witch, spider or other scary figures. Use tablecloths, table runners and napkins in matching colors and fabrics (e.g. black lace) and decorate the bouquets with artificial spider webs. Here imagination is required again! You can also use desserts to decorate the table on Halloween. So-called cake pops or cupcakes can be designed in Halloween motifs and used as decoration at the Halloween party.
Winter table decoration
Once autumn with its warm colors is over, it's time to welcome the icy season. And even if the bright colors are no longer common, the winter table decorations are no less attractive. The main colors now are undoubtedly white and blue (preferably light blue), which symbolize snow and ice. A third color is also very welcome and that is silver. In addition, the table decorations come from nature and from many natural materials such as fir branches, evergreens, pine cones, berries and wood, which are in the coldAtmosphere of winter comfortshould create. Accordingly, it is also possible to alternate the decoration with a little green. But then choose a darker tone, like the one you know from conifers. Use flowers in white color for the winter table decorations. Roses and orchids work well. But typical winter flowers such as the camellia or the knight's star can also be used for decoration and thus provide a little additional color.
To enhance the icy look on the table, use lots of glass or crystal items. These can not only be decorations, but also the dishes can be made of this noble material. You can also get green color from evergreen plants that you can use to decorate the table. Spring flowers that bloom as houseplants in winter can also add variety to the table. If you don't want to do without a bouquet of twigs, you can choose pussy willows or design simple twigs yourself in white, silver or a combination of both colors. The snowflake is an important motif in winter decorations and can appear on the tablecloth, on the napkins or in the form of various decorations. The snowman is a great representative of snow and can put you in a good mood. Don't forget the candles on the table either. They support the natural materials in creating a comfortable ambience despite cold colors.
Decorate for Christmas
Of course, one of the most popular festivals of all also falls into the “winter decoration” category. What we mean, of course, is Christmas, which in principle begins with Advent. The winter decoration motifs are great, but are also complemented by additional, typically Christmas motifs such as Santa Claus, reindeer, angels and Christmas trees. The Advent wreath is particularly important as a table decoration for Advent, as it is a constant companion to the table decoration throughout the entire Advent season. This can be selected and designed in a wide variety of variants. Nowadays there are not only classic versions but also attractive modern ones. The same applies to the table decorations at Christmas itself.
Although green, red and gold are classic colors for Christmas, people like to play with colors these days. The decoration on the table can also be designed in typical winter colors or just as well be purple, pink or colorful. In addition to fir greenery and candles, add some Christmas tree baubles to the table decorations and use this idea for the Christmas party as well as for Advent. Red roses or golden elements with a simple or lavishly glittering surface add a little elegance to every arrangement. Whether you make the Christmas table decoration classic or modern depends entirely on your taste. After all, this is your home, you set the rules yourself.
Celebrate New Year's Eve
The end of the Christmas season is New Year's Eve. This is another evening that we can spend happily with family or friends. The table decoration for New Year's Eve is less traditional than glamorous, stylish and elegant. There are no rules when it comes to colors. The main thing is that everything fits together well and harmonizes with each other. However, there should be no lack of shine and glamor, which is why gold, silver or other metallic colors, as well as glitter, are very welcome.
Pretty champagne glasses are a must, after all, we ring in the New Year with a glass of champagne. The glasses can be designed to suit the occasion and quickly transform into a real decoration on the table. You are also welcome to reuse some of the Christmas decorations. Fir greenery and cones, as well as Christmas tree decorations, can be used wonderfully. to add interesting color accents to the table. You can decorate the plate of every seat with the popular crackers, which you can even make yourself.
Valentine's Day and Carnival
But these are by no means all the festivals that winter has to offer us. Because not long after New Year's Eve, the festival of love and of course the carnival awaits us. It's not hard to guess what needs to be taken into account when decorating the table for Valentine's Day: the love color red and similar nuances such as pink and hot pink can be combined with each other and with the color white to decorate the romantic table. And romance is the key word here. Your evening for two can't be romantic enough. But romance should also be felt at a Valentine's party. Red placemats or red dishes, lots of candles and of course hearts. You can come up with your own idea of how to use the hearts. For example, paper hearts in different sizes that you distribute on the table are nice. Or you can get heart-shaped confetti for this purpose. Red roses can also be part of the table decoration. If that's too banal for you, choose other red, pink and white flowers such as carnations or chrysanthemums. Instead of whole flowers, petals can also be spread on the table.
Carnival is really colorful and crazy and that should also be reflected on the table. Distribute colorful confetti, the dishes, which can easily be made of plastic or cardboard without bothering anyone, can also have colorful motifs or simply be colored. Place a party hat on each plate, spread streamers around the table. The table decoration at carnival does not necessarily have to be adapted to the German carnival. Nothing prevents you from organizing a party in, for example, Venetian style. Then you can use the carnival masks to decorate. Feathers can now also be used on the table for carnival table decorations.
Table decoration for a child's birthday
The birthday table decorations of course depend on how old the birthday child is. Adult birthdays are decorated differently than children's birthdays, or at least most of the time. Baby's first birthday is an important moment. And although this birthday party is celebrated less for the child than for parents and relatives, it is still a beautiful occasion. The table decoration for the first birthday can either be designed neutrally and with typical baby colors and motifs, or you can choose a theme according to which the entire decoration will be based. A certain topic is also very popular with older children. Frozen, Harry Potter, superheroes, monsters, football as a theme and the like are particularly current and bring joy to children. The table decoration should of course also be designed according to the theme. Use colors and motifs that match. You can also make many decorations yourself.
For the Frozen theme, for example, the colors white and light blue are best suited. Snowflakes and characters from the film can also decorate the table. Due to the popularity of such topics, matching decorations are available for purchase and there are also great templates to print out. The decorations for young people and especially the table decorations for their 18th birthday, on the other hand, are a little more serious. However, that doesn't mean that bright colors can't be used here too. As long as it's not a surprise party, you can also plan the decorations together with the birthday child. Flowers are a great decoration for older children and adults, but they could be disruptive at a child's birthday party.
Decorate for birthdays
A special birthday in particular should be celebrated properly. Finally, a new phase of life begins. The 30th birthday table decoration should be stylish, but can also contain fun elements and bright colors. However, the table decorations for 50th and 60th birthdays should be particularly elegant. Any tone can be chosen as the main color, complemented by, for example, gold or silver as an accent color. Flowers are particularly appropriate here and can be chosen depending on the season. But the birthday child's favorite flowers will also bring him great joy. Choose elegant dishes and cutlery to set the table. Crystal is very suitable for table decoration at a party of this type. The same applies to the tablecloth or table runner.
You want it to be especially perfect for your wedding. After all, this is the big day in a couple's life. So that the mood really turns out the way you want it, planning in good time is particularly important. Should the decoration match a specific theme or a specific style? The table decoration is often designed depending on the time of year in which the celebration takes place. For this purpose, you can use all the wedding table decoration elements that we have already presented. Another variant is to choose a specific style. The vintage, modern, country house and rustic styles are particularly popular, but maritime weddings are also very popular. Of course, themes and styles can be easily combined with each other for wedding table decorations.
The styles as well as the theme and the season determine the wedding floral design. It is an advantage to choose seasonal flowers because they are cheaper. Also pay special attention to the bride and groom's table. The bride and groom table decoration can be different from the tables for the guests, but can also be designed in a similar way. There are various ideas for this part of the design. The lettering “Mr. & Mrs.”, which comes from America but is also becoming more and more common at German weddings.
Color schemes for table decoration – ideas and examples
There are no limits to the choice of colors. However, you should keep in mind that certain color schemes should also be preferred for some styles and seasons. In vintage style, for example, strong colors are avoided. Earth tones and pastels are used to suit the style. As already mentioned, certain colors are also used in the different seasons. If you want to design the table decoration at the wedding according to a style, there are a few rules you should follow. If you want to have freedom of choice when it comes to colors, don't commit to a specific style. It is very popular for a romantic atmosphereTable decorationfor the wedding in purple. You can showcase these in the form of fabrics or with flowers with purple blossoms such as lilac or lavender. The color apricot is also romantic and delicate, which is why it is one of the most popular colors for table decoration at weddings. Wedding table decorations in green are no less popular and are also very suitable for weddings without a theme. The wedding table decoration in green can be combined with the traditional white color. A table decoration in green and white looks elegant on the one hand, but also upbeat to a certain extent on the other.
A table decoration in aubergine is wonderful for autumn. Alternatively or as a combination, various berry tones are also suitable, which are particularly effective with cream color and create a warm color scheme. Of course, these colors can also be chosen for weddings in other seasons. Then simply create the rest of the table decoration using more neutral motifs and elements that have no connection to autumn. A wedding table decoration in red makes it romantic in an elegant and passionate way. After all, red is the color of love. Both red and all other colors should play a supporting role. Choose a neutral and light main color such as white, cream, beige or champagne and only add colorful accents. This looks more harmonious and not too exaggerated. Also, arrange decorations depending on the shape of the tables. While rectangular tables can be centered down the entire length, on round and square tables the main decoration is focused on the center of the table while the dishes are arranged around it. The wedding table decorations for round tables are arranged differently than those for long tables. The space on these tables is often limited, which is whyProper planning is important againis. Don't overdo the decorations. After all, guests should have enough space.
Celebrate anniversaries
The same applies to anniversary celebrations such as the golden wedding anniversary, the silver wedding anniversary or the diamond wedding anniversary. These are not weddings in the true sense. However, if the celebration has a specific theme, it will be decorated accordingly. Of course, the celebration can also be neutral. The table decoration for the golden wedding anniversary, for example, can have some gold accents to underline the occasion. When it comes to a table decoration for a silver wedding, the color silver can be used for this purpose. For example, use silver or gold cutlery. Vases and other decorations can also be chosen in the respective color. The table decoration for the diamond wedding can consist of a lot of glass and crystal, which are intended to symbolize the diamond. It's best not to choose too strong colors for the anniversary or at least avoid combinations of too many strong colors. Again, a neutral color can serve as the basis for the table decoration and can be complemented by one or two other colors. Both seasonal and exotic flowers such as orchids are suitable for floral decorations.
Table decoration for baptism
You can design the table decoration at a baptism in two ways: either you use gender-neutral colors or you decorate according to the gender of the child being baptized. Accordingly, blue or green are ideal for the table decoration for a boy's baptism, while pink or purple can be chosen for girls. If you don't want the color to symbolize gender, use yellow or an earth tone like beige. This is a good alternative, especially for a pair of twins, if it is not possible to design in two color themes. It is important that the colors are bright and used as an accent. For example, use a white tablecloth and decorate with a colored table runner, colored table mats and the like. The same rules apply to the choice of flowers. Choose varieties that match the color of the rest of the table decorations. Candles are also part of this religious occasion. And then there are the little elements you can use to design the table. For table decorations for girls' baptisms, for example, elegant napkin rings made of pearls, accents made of bows and florets and similar motifs are suitable. The organza fabric is a great way to decorate the fabric. It looks elegant and reflects the light from the candles. The table decoration at the christening celebration should radiate exactly that: elegance, as well as a certain calm and harmony. Therefore, a simple decoration is preferable. You can also make many ideas for table decorations for baptism yourself. Spread petals on the table, decorate candlesticks with self-tied bows and create your own bouquets of flowers. Fold the napkins in a pretty way and use simple, elegant tableware. Don't forget some angels, which you can use in the form of figures, embroidery or motifs. They symbolize the guardian angel who will watch over your child from now on.
Tips for communion, confirmation and youth ordination
Communion, confirmation and youth ordination are all important moments in the child's life, because now he or she is officially accepted into the adult circle. An occasion to be proud of! For the communion table decoration, it is best to choose a cheerful accent color that is combined with white as a base. You decide for yourself which color exactly. This can again depend on the gender of the child or it can simply be the child's favorite color. Yellow, blue, pink and light green are suitable. The table can be decorated with wreaths or green crosses. There should also be flowers. All in all, the table decoration for confirmation or communion should be kept simple and not too impressive. There are sample tables for communion table decorations that you can use as inspiration to create a harmonious atmosphere during the celebration.
Make your own table decorations
You can also easily make pretty decorations for the table yourself for everyday use. But homemade designs are also a nice change on special occasions that will make you proud. Try using a variety of natural materials and fabrics when making table decorations, be it for a wedding, a specific season, Christmas or Easter. A homemade decoration doesn't have to be complicated and can be a nice activity to spend your free time with the family. There are endless ideas that you can design individually and according to your taste. Take the time and relax with a nice craft project!
