Now that you’ve gotten some inspiration for your own totally romantic sweetheart table, here are some ideas for what to put on those farm tables to fill the rest of your reception space!

The decision between long, round, or square tables has never been easier; farm tables are the obvious answer! Not only does this arrangement help a large reception feel intimate, but the design options are endless. An infinite amount of décor ideas can be a little overwhelming, so we’ve rounded up some of our favorite receptions to help you figure out what to put on your farm table to make your wedding reception beautifully yours.

Jewel Tone Linens

The perfect pairing for a rustic-style reception is a rich jewel tone palette and a long farm table. Crushed velvet teal table runners, aubergine napkins, and emerald accessories elevate the look of any venue, while giving your guests that warm, fuzzy feeling!

Voluminous Centerpieces

While some choose to decorate with smaller pieces down the length of the table, others make a statement with a few voluminous centerpieces. Designing a grand display with your florist can take your take your table from farm to fabulous!

Greenery Down the Middle

These days, you rarely see a farm table without a lush surplus of greenery placed down the middle. Eucalyptus is a popular choice, but other leaves like ferns and even tropical fronds can change the tone of your whole table design.

Colorful Glassware

Everybody loves a pop of color, and decorating your farm table is no different! We’re big fans of colorful glassware here at Junebug. Whether you choose an eclectic arrangement of textures and colors or streamline your design with a single style and hue, colored glassware is a practical and beautiful décor element!

Statement Table Runners

We’re always looking for places to add a little texture and pattern into reception styling. A statement runner on your farm table can be the root of your thematic design. Macrame makes for a boho look, black and white stripes exhibit glamour, and an intricate print can add to an eclectic arrangement.

Now that you know what to put on your farm table, you need to decide what to put your flowers in! Check out these 20 vase alternatives you haven’t considered for your tablescape.

Step aside, candle votives and glass vases – the easiest and most fun way to spice up your wedding tablescape is by using vase alternatives! Between roller skates and coffee cans, these vase alternatives offer tons of personality and are anything but traditional.

1. UPCYCLED MATERIALS

There’s nothing that gets our DIY-loving selves as excited as when we spot upcycled materials used in wedding décor! These weddings use embellished bottles and coffee cans for their reception tablescapes to create a timeless feel. These looks are super easy to create – just save your used veggie cans and wine bottles, strip their labels (or keep them for added color!), and stick some flowers or succulents in them! Cluster bottles and cans of different heights together for added tablescape depth, or try spray painting them for a more uniform feel.

2. PLANTERS AND POTS

Succulents, garden herbs, and wild greenery are definitely having a moment in wedding décor, so it only makes sense that their planters and pots are too! These creative weddings used clusters of terracotta pots and low, wide planters to display their green tablescapes. Accents of copper, clear glass, and white florals add a bit of depth to an otherwise earthy display. To maximize your planter and pot tablescape’s function, have guests take home a small pot of herbs as a wedding favor after the reception!

3. TERRARIUMS

These crystal clear beauties are popping up at more and more weddings, and there’s no wonder why! Terrariums are totally gorgeous, come in every shape and size, and the options of decorating their interiors are limitless. You can choose one large terrarium to be the accent piece of a tablescape, or try a cluster of smaller terrariums to create a dynamic display. For a dreamy, minimalist look, try recreating Transplants Floral‘s coral display by hanging a piece of coral or a gem from fishing line and suspending it from the top of the terrarium to create a floating illusion.

4. UNEXPECTED ITEMS

These weddings went above and beyond the call of duty by selecting totally unexpected items to display their tablescape décor and florals. We can’t get enough of the roller skate vase alternative one wedding chose – it’s the perfect combo of retro and eclectic! To achieve a quirky, playful tablescape, a couple of these weddings displayed succulents and ferns inside small dinosaur figurines. Try a fun and modern spin on a tablescape display by completely forgoing the florals and stuffing a small, antique statue from a craft store with gems and petite greenery details.

5. UNIQUE GLASSWARE

These three weddings take the traditional elements of glass vases and totally turn them upside down! From Erlenmeyer flasks to glass bowls, we can’t get enough of these unique additions to their wedding tablescapes. We love the terrarium-like design in the large glass bowl – the addition of rocks, soil, and quirky figurines create the appearance of a landscape.

6. VINTAGE DISHES AND CHINA

If you’re planning a rustic and romantic wedding reception, vintage dishes and china are the vase alternatives for you! These weddings used vintage china teapots, teacups, and large pitchers in lieu of glass vases to create a dramatic, romantic effect. Large bunches of flowers and greenery work best with these designs as they round out the fullness of the china!
