The banquet tables have to be unique as it is the second most important activity after the ceremony. This is also going to be your first meal together as a married couple so the bars are already set high. But you don’t have to spend a fortune if you want a dreamy romantic and a larger-than-life dinner. Nowadays, Indian weddings are witnessing a new trend of sit down dinners rather than cliché and uncomfortable buffets. So to speak, there is a sudden increase in the demand of aesthetic and elegance table props for dinner. But, what you should choose? Why is everything so expensive? If you find yourself asking these kinds of questions, read further to get all the worthy solutions that you won’t regret later.
Candles and Lanterns
Well! This goes without saying. If you want to have a dreamy decor which is also cheap, just rent out vintage lanterns and candles of all shapes and sizes. Simple white candles with lanterns look best for a monochromatic theme.
Cages
These can be used to keep the candles or the cages can be filled with small flowers and leaves. The centerpieces look very elegant and add to the romantic vibe of the atmosphere.
Exposed wood
If you don’t want to spend unnecessarily on yards of table cloth and also care about spoiling them with accidents of spillage, you can leave your beautiful banquet tables absolutely naked. It will give a very chic and rustic look to the whole setup. To make it even more simple, add small vases with a bud of rose and taper candles set on vintage candle stands.
Seasonal flowers
I cannot stress more on the fact that seasonal flowers are the best flowers for any kind of decorations. They are cheap, help local businesses grow and actually look stunning. Stop wasting money on imported varieties that are way too expensive. Keep in mind the contrasting colors and then choose the flowers. If you are going for a monochromatic theme add shades of blue, orange or pink to add a bit of color.
Create a hanging garden
Many a time, the banquet tables are too small to incorporate large props so if you want to keep the tables fuss free but don’t want them to look simple, add the whole flower and lights thing from the ceiling. Use big bulbs to make it extra dramatic and nothing is better than a floral ceiling. This setup will look really elegant and also keep the service smooth.
Geometric Centerpieces
These kinds of centerpieces are small, chic and can go possibly with every theme. They are inexpensive to get but you can even make it yourself! Just paint straws with gold and glue them together in various shapes. The pieces can also be used to hold a candle or decorate them with extra foliage or flowers.
