Beautiful Wedding Decorations For Table

Flowers are a wedding day staple, but that doesn't mean they have to be everywhere. Whether pretty petals have already taken over the bulk of your décor or you're just not that into an abundance of blooms, you may want to consider opting out of floral centerpieces. Plus, as these ideas prove, there are so many ways to "think outside the bloom" with your wedding centerpieces. With that in mind, we've come up with some creative and modern alternatives, for traditional and nontraditional weddings alike. Between candles, branches, paper supplies, and thematic decorations, the opportunities for flowerless table décor are endless (and endlessly chic!).

Fringed Branches
Please pass the ... flutter? Bring texture to the table by hanging peach and persimmon tassels, plus glimmering strips of metallic Mylar, from branches anchored in slender white vases.

SEASHELL DISPLAY
A still-life display of shells resting on brown sand in fishbowls and vases sets a beachy scene. An aqua silk runner suggests water, as do the reflective surfaces of the glass chargers and votive holders.
