Inexpensive rectangular table decor

You don't have to do a tablescape just because you choose a rectangular table. Our parents likely had rectangular banquet tables as round tables are a fairly recent innovation. They also didn't have elaborate tablescapes- also new on the scene.

You can use a regular centerpiece in the center of the table and do a cluster of votives at either end.

Lanterns centerpieces are beautiful and can also be cost effective as they don't need a lot of flowers.

Five Below has lanterns for $5- who knew? LOL

I am having rectangular tables (provided by our venue) and centerpieces have been by far the most frustrating! I have finally settled on a mixture of lanterns and bottles. Just be aware of the height of everything, you want to make sure your guests can still mingle with each other. Here's a little bit of inspiration

We had rectangular tables, and I will show you what we did with them. Everyone thought they turned out beautifully!

Eta: it was pretty inexpensive, except for buying the lanterns. I wish I had known about 5 Below then. BTW, your venue is GORGEOUS!

You really won't need much for it to look decorated. I plan on doing something similar to this with a table runner and small square vases with a couple stems in each and glass votive candles. The flowers will be giant dahlias so they'll pop. If you buy bulk on the vases and votives, you'll really save a lot.

We had candelabra type things on our rectangle tables.

Our head table was also rectangular and we had our florist do a garland down the center with votives around it. We used our bouquets as additional florals on that.
