The New Tablescape
Written By Destination Weddings Tulum
Organising your wedding is a joyful, inspiring, and sometimes overwhelming adventure.
You’re probably spending hours on Pinterest and Instagram, saving dreamy images — but when it’s time to define one style, the inspiration overload kicks in. Sound familiar?
Your wedding should reflect you: your vision, your budget, and most importantly, that unforgettable wow feeling when you see everything come together on the big day.
If you need help finding the right design, or if you're curious about the latest wedding trends, we’ve curated a little selection to guide you. Your overflowing Pinterest board will thank us!
1. Going Green
Flowers are always a good idea — but if you’re looking for something more natural, tropical, or budget-friendly, greenery might be your best friend.
Think lush foliage, palm leaves, and tropical plants — especially perfect if you're planning a destination wedding in the Caribbean. This botanical style feels fresh, modern, and effortlessly elegant.
2. Fruits & Veggies, Please!
Yes, really! Using fruits and vegetables as part of your tablescape is not only trendy but also stunning when combined with greenery or even a few floral accents. Imagine grapes, citrus fruits, or artichokes adding texture, color, and a seasonal touch to your décor
3. Less is More
Love flowers, but prefer a minimalist look? Consider using single stems. Placed thoughtfully, they create a refined, artistic vibe without overwhelming your table. Think elegance through simplicity
4. Hanging Florals
For the flower lovers who dream big — what about hanging floral arrangements above your tables? It’s a beautiful way to make a statement while freeing up table space.
This is especially helpful if you're planning a family-style dinner, where large centerpieces can get in the way. Many guests also say it’s hard to talk across the table when arrangements are too tall — so lift the beauty up, and let the conversation flow!
5. The Fabric Trend
Fabric is having a major moment — and I absolutely love it. It’s versatile, stylish, and adds a soft, romantic feel wherever it’s used.
At your ceremony:
If your venue has a tree, arch, or architectural feature, draping fabric can instantly elevate the space. Add florals or let it flow naturally — both create a stunning backdrop for your “I do.”
At your reception:
Hang fabric above your tables to bring a sense of intimacy and luxury. Play with shapes — straight lines, waves, or asymmetrical draping. Add lights (fairy lights, lanterns) to make the space magical.
On your tables:
Oversized tablecloths are making a comeback, though runners are still a stylish option — especially if you want that elegant touch without covering everything. Runners don’t fall onto your guests’ feet and still create that refined look.
You can also echo the fabric in other details, like your welcome sign, ceremony chairs, or menus, for a cohesive and elegant finish.
6. Shape Matters:
Let’s talk table shapes — round, rectangular, or something more unexpected?
Have you considered serpentine tables?
They’re visually stunning and offer a practical advantage: instead of splitting guests into groups, you can seat everyone in one continuous layout. It creates a sense of unity and makes conversation easier. Plus, they look spectacular in photos.
