The Planner's Edit with Desirée Adams: A Podcast for Wedding Planners and Pros (FKA Ask the Planner)

Text the Wedding Planning HotlineIf you've been following me on social media, you know that the dinner table is one of my favorite ways to get creative with the decor. I love using unique media for placecards, like luggage tags, scrolls, fruit, or even napkins. I also like using a colored napkin tied with flowers or ribbon to add some texture. Finally, printing your menus on something other than paper is a fun way to add an element of surprise to the table.  I also like having different looks for the tables. For example, you could have one linen for your rectangular tables and another for your rounds. Try to make them similar in terms of material or pattern so there's still some cohesion. For more ideas on wedding table decor, including the actual candlesticks I use all the time, visit my Resources page at https://verveeventco.com/resources
