Top photo is our venue, middle two photos are a mock-up of the gray table linen, eucalyptus garland & candles, last photo is inspo.


We’ll have long rectangular tables with real garland. Is this too boring? Any ideas welcome!

    The chairs are gold Chivari, and we’ll have real silverware, plates, and white linen napkins! (I just used our dishes & paper towel for an idea lol)

    I think this is beautiful! I don't like a lot of "fussy" decor and this is very pretty. Especially with the gold chairs-I think they will compliment the warm glow of the candlelight nicely

    I think it'll be beautiful!! If you kept adding it might get busy, but also with the chairs it'll be really elegant.

    The only critique I can think of to give is be careful with your (bigger) candle placements.
    You might want to place those more mixed in the edge of the garland (having the candles slightly closer to the "center" of the table, adjusting the leaves of the garland to cover/surround the base of the candle holder), instead of it being closer to the place setting/plates as it might feel confining to those when they try to eat.

    Otherwise I think it will look beautiful, simple yet romantic!

    I agree with Rabreena about making sure the taller candles are closer to the center, but I'd also spread some out (instead of having them all in clusters of 2) so maybe do a pairing of 2 here and then 1 solo etc, more spread out. Similar to this:

    I don't know if it's in the budget, but you could also play with the idea of different size vases/candles to give it different heights and widths, but otherwise, I think it'll be very pretty

    Very pretty. I would also suggest a mixture of heights and candles interspersed, and fluff up the eucalyptus by bending the artificial branches. My reasoning is that I first thought the tall candles are the ones you use at memorials or church. sorry. You can also buy mercury glass votives in bulk and opt for battery-operated candles to reduce number of flames for the sensitive. Best wishes

    Take the stickers off of the candles. Otherwise I think it's pretty.

    Nope you are correct! They are the prayer candles that are in churches. They're the cheapest option for tall white candles I could come up with. I'm not religious but do you think this would be acceptable/offensive for those that are? I wouldn't have noticed they were but I'm sure a lot of people will!

    I'm a big fan of this, it's simple and understated yet so elegant! I love it. Maybe add a few faux flowers in your wedding colors throughout the garland to brighten it up a little? (Like Ling's flowers- you can get them on Amazon.) Looks so nice though!

    It all looks beautiful. I love the greenery and candle look and it's just great. I like understated pieces. I especially like the first and second pictures. The first picture with the lighting I am drawn to. It will definitely set the mood for the wedding.
