Where your reception can start to get expensive (aside from catering and beverages) is your guest tables.

Here's an example of the breakdown of table linens, place settings and decor for a headcount of 100 people.

A 60" round table comfortably seats 8 people*, 100 divided by 8 is 12.5, so you will need to plan for 13 tables.

$234: 13 x $18 -108" round tablecloth (black, white or beige)
$260: 13x $20 centerpiece (this price based on wood rounds, hurricanes & pillar LEDs, tea lights in holders, and table numbers)
$75: 100 x $0.75ea charger plate
$150: 100 x $1.50ea vintage china dinner plate
$100: 100 x $1.00ea cotton or cheesecloth napkin
$50: 100 x $0.50ea basic water goblet
$100: 100 x $1.00ea vintage clear or colored glass goblet
$275: 100 x $2.75/set of 3 piece flatware (black or mod gold)

Total: $1,244

Of course there are many ways to save a little money here and there but this breakdown shows you where the bang for your buck is going in terms of table design.

Reach out today to get your guest table design started and request a free estimate!

*if you are including charger plates please do not seat more than 8 to a table, and consider chair width as well, your guests will thank you for not crowding them or their place settings!

Sweetheart Tables might be one of our favorite things!

You can customize so many aspects!

Consider special seating for the two of you, maybe fancier chairs, or a loveseat.

You can have a contrasting linen color for your tablecloth as compared to your guest tables!

Add draped linen, lighting, flowers, and backdrops for ALL the drama.

We love this sweetheart table from last year, the couple brought many of their personality pieces to this design and the result was a really fun and dramatic representation of them together, Til Death! 😉

Your Welcome Table is a great representative of you as a couple and the overall vibe of your wedding!

This couple combined their memory table and welcome table and we loved the vintage vibes of the grandparent wedding photos and the audio guestbook, combined with our gothic black and glass card box and purple LED tapers!

Bud vases with florals by Mayfly Flowers tied everything together! SUCH a vibe! 🤩

We love collaborating with other vendors on styled shoots, open houses, wedding shows, and content days!

Every situation is different, and in many cases we are happy to donate our rentals in exchange for professional photos of our design work and inventory.

Depending on location, depth of setup and amount of product being transported, we may charge mileage and/or setup fees for our time!

Please reach out if you have a project in mind, we are happy to put together a proposal/design mockup if we are available!

We ask our collaborators to sign our rental contract even when rentals are donated, to ensure appropriate care is take of our items and replacement/damage costs are taken care of when relevant!

We like to participate in 2-5 shoots a year and have some openings in August this year to fill out our calendar!

04/26/2024

Shots from our styled shoot for this week, we were asked by to put together some tablescapes for and needed to do a darker table and a lighter table.

It's not hard to build a centerpiece for your guest tables!

Whether you are using round tables or long rectangular tables, you want to start with a visual anchor for whatever you are putting on the table.

If you are using a rectangular table, consider a runner of some kind to pull the eye to the center of the table. This helps keep your decor from looking too busy or cluttered. You can use a cloth runner or greenery or a floral garland! Anything continuous will act as a visual anchor for the rest of your decor.

If you are using round tables, consider a wood round or charger plate or other round item to build your decor on. This acts as a visual anchor in the same way your runner does on a rectangular table.

Now it's time to add in florals, lighting and table numbers!

Odd numbers and varying heights are the rule to keep things interesting and not blocky - you don't want your guests to feel like there is a wall of stuff between them inhibiting conversation!

You can opt for large floral arrangements or groupings of simple bud vases.

We always recommend lots of lighting both for ambiance and for light as the evening goes on!

04/17/2024

We know it's spring but our Fall couples are in planning mode and we're not sad about it!

We've got several microweddings this year using variations on this palette and we're feeling the warm toned vibes!

04/16/2024

When planning for Ceremony decor, start from the front and work your way back!

What do you envision standing in front of? A Triangle or Double Hex with floral swags? A large Square frame with drapery? A Floral Nest with lanterns?

What does the aisle look like? Are you walking on rugs? A runner? Are there candles or bud vases next to the chairs? Ribbons tied to the ends of the rows? Clusters of lanterns or flowers at the beginning and/or end of the aisle?

Where are your guests seated? In folding chairs? On benches or couches? On mismatch wood chairs?

Do you need reserved signs for your front rows? Do you need a "please silence your phone" sign or other informational or directional messaging for your guests?

We can help with all of these things!

04/15/2024

Ready to reserve your lounge set?

For $250 you can get a velvet loveseat, single velvet chair, 6' round rug, single end table, and a coffee table.

For $295 you can add a second chair and end table!

Choose from our black or emerald velvet loveseat, and black, emerald or ivory velvet chairs!

What a steal!

04/14/2024

You can also shop for your event and your bar needs!

Is your bartender full-service? Are they bringing a physical bar and all the tools required to serve your full bar menu?

Do you need to supply the ice and/or what it is stored in through the evening?

Don't forget to consider specific glassware for the types of drinks being served!

Even if your bartender provides everything they need to serve drinks, don't forget a menu to keep the line moving quickly, and decor to keep the bar area blending seamlessly with the vibe and style of your day!

04/13/2024

We're bringing in our Forest Fairy Era!

Watch for cute new items like these gold mushroom taper holders, mushroom glass bud vases, and velvet and wood mushroom decor!

04/12/2024

Another area to shop rentals for is your Welcome Area!

Consider things like signage for the event itself, informational signage for cards & gifts, any guestbook direction, etc.

You will also want to include linens for your welcome/cards & gifts tables in your overall linen count! These linens can be the same color as your reception tables or a contrasting color.

Remember to rent a card box or basket, something to hold pens for the guestbook, and a few pieces of decor and/or lighting to tie in your overall vibe!

Show your guests you love them with added touches like mini-sunscreen, sunglasses, water bottles or throw blankets!

04/11/2024

Amber and Olive goblets are still very much in for 2024 and 2025 and we are here for it! 🙌

Working our way through our inventory and always on the lookout for more!

What's your favorite color combo for vintage glassware?

04/10/2024

We've added some sections to the Rental Catalog portion of our website to make shopping for your rentals a little easier!

You can now choose items based on the area of your event. By choosing an area you will learn a little about what components you should consider for that area and see specific items and categories of items to choose from!

Today we are talking about your Sweetheart Table.

If you choose to have a Sweetheart Table consider having special seating for just the two of you! This can be a cozy loveseat or two matching accent or dining chairs.

Next consider your place settings! This is a great area to go all out and upgrade to the fancy items, since you're only paying for two of each thing instead of the top shelf item for all of your guests!

Choose from our limited inventory of flutes and place settings geared specifically towards microweddings and sweetheart/head tables!

Last, don't forget decor items for your table. Whether you have a gorgeous farm table or a regular table with a tablecloth, don't skimp on the lighting and florals! We love the look of a cluster of lanterns or taper candles of varying heights, mixed with a floral arrangement or bud vases. These items can be on the table or on the floor in front or to the sides!
