Alternating table decorations

[lightning]

I wanted to have balloons of my two colours (lilac and silver) on my tables, but now i have seen some lovely flower displays with those colours. Not wanting to miss our I am thinking of alternating flowers and baloons on the tables, so one table flowers, the next balloons and so on. Do you think it will look good or naff?

I think thats a great idea. The balloons suggest party, the flowers suggest wedding. Go for it

Hi Lightning - Quite often, I recommend Brides to have alternate table arrangements as opposed to every table. There are so many ideas for table decorations such as favours, table confetti, decorated napkins, wine glass charms, wedding crackers etc, that sometimes it can look a bit "over the top". I went to a wedding recently as a guest and there was so many decorative things on the table that when the food came, we couldnt find a space to eat!!! I think alternate balloons and flowers would work well. Another idea would be to have balloons at either end of your top table and at the entrance of the room perhaps on a table where your table plan is or where your guests sign your guest book and have flowers every alternate guest table? Or, if your seating plan allows, why not have balloons in the central tables and flower arrangements down the side tables. This would give an immediate impact to the centre of your room. Brenda
