Ivory and Gold Wedding Tablescape
We created an ivory and gold wedding tablescape can evoke a sense of elegance and sophistication, which is perfect for a romantic celebration.
Here are some key elements to consider when designing this stunning tablescape:
Colour Palette
The primary colors of ivory and gold create a warm and luxurious atmosphere. Ivory serves as a soft, neutral base, while gold adds a touch of glamour and richness. This combination works beautifully for both formal and semi-formal weddings.
Table Linens
Tablecloth:Â Choose an ivory tablecloth as the foundation. Consider fabrics like satin or linen for a refined look.
Centrepieces / Table Arrangements
Floral Arrangements:Â Use ivory flowers such as roses, through vases.
Candles:Â Gold candlesticks paired with ivory candles can create a warm glow. Vary the heights of the candles for added dimension.
Table Settings
Dinnerware:Â Opt for Glass Charger Plates with a Gold Rim. This subtle detail ties the colour scheme together beautifully.
Glassware:Â Gold rimmed glassware adds a luxurious touch. Consider using gold-rimmed glasses for drinks to complement the theme.
Decorative Accents
Place Cards:Â Use ivory cardstock with gold lettering for an elegant touch. Consider adding a small gold embellishment for extra flair.
Table Numbers:Â Display table numbers in gold frames or on ivory cards with gold accents.
Lighting
Soft lighting is essential for creating an inviting atmosphere. Consider using string lights with a warm glow to enhance the ivory and gold theme.
Final Touches
Incorporate personal touches such as custom favors or meaningful items that reflect the couple's journey together. This adds a unique charm to the tablescape.
An ivory and gold wedding tablescape combines classic elegance with modern sophistication, creating a stunning backdrop for your special day. By thoughtfully selecting each element, you can achieve a cohesive and beautiful design that will leave a lasting impression on your guests.
