Wedding Sweetheart Table Decor Ideas
1. Sit Like Royalty on a Platform
Your wedding day is all about you and your partner. To help keep the attention on you (although it won’t be hard), sit on a raised platform, so your guests can easily spot you all night.

2. Or in Statement Chairs
If your venue is not set up with a platform–or you just don’t like the idea of being seated away from everyone in that sense–you can still set yourself apart from your guests with special seating. Whether you choose oversized peacock chairs, a loveseat, or another unique kind of seating, this is a simple yet effective way to add some visual interest to your sweetheart table.

3. Personalized Chair Hangings
To help your chairs stand out without having to rent different furniture, consider chair hangings. You can find countless different options in a variety of different styles, so you’ll always be able to find one for your wedding theme.

4. Frame the Table With Pendant Lighting
Depending on how your venue is set up–if hanging lighting is available–consider placing your sweetheart table underneath it. This is an extremely natural way to draw the eye toward the table, while also giving you the opportunity to dress the lighting up with extra touches like florals.

5. Fill it With Florals
One of the easiest ways to dress up your table is to surround it with florals. Opt to make special arrangements for the table or consider reusing the florals from your ceremony to save a little extra money.

6. An Abundance of Greenery
If you’re hosting a tropical wedding or you’re keeping the florals simple, you can still add a touch of nature to your table with greenery. Eucalyptus, Ruscus, lemon leaf, ferns, monstera leaves, etc., all make for beautiful arrangements.

7. Add Disco Balls
To add a little bit of disco flair to your sweetheart’s table, surround it with disco balls. Whether you include florals, a neon sign, and a backdrop like Tania and Tom did is entirely up to you, but we love the party the disco balls bring to the overall look!

8. Reuse Your Ceremony Backdrop
As we mentioned earlier, we’re big fans of reusing decor when possible. If you chose a ceremony backdrop that you can’t get enough of, who says you can’t use it elsewhere? Put it behind your table to help make it pop, and it will help stretch your budget further. Just remember, you need to have enough time during the cocktail hour to make this decor shift possible.

9. Display a Neon Sign
Neon signs are a wedding trend that we don’t foresee going anywhere any time soon. With so many different phrases and sayings out there, choosing the right one for your special day has never been easier thanks to the ability to customize signs on sites like Etsy.

10. Candles Galore
Candles are a simple yet ethereal way to dress up your reception space–especially once the sun sets and the night begins. Include candles on your sweetheart table along with your reception tables to help the space feel utterly romantic.
