IN ABUNDANCE
Besides the beloved bride and groom, a wedding tablescape is the centre of attention, setting the scene for the rest of the wedding decor by reflecting the couple's chosen aesthetic. Recent trends view tablescapes as an artistic canvas beyond a table drenched in traditional white candles, flowers and crockery. It's about mixing statement centrepieces, unique crockery and glassware, eccentric accent colours, fabric drapery and ambient lighting. Organic and colourful 'fruit & veg' have been made focal points of tablescapes to embrace the trend of farm-to-table. Including fresh fruit and veg as decorative components in a tablescape is a means to honour the season you're in by displaying seasonal produce, as a working metaphor for vibrancy and abundance. As for the physical form of the tables, serpentine tablescape shapes are formed by elongated banquet tables which curve to create an intimate setting that flows throughout the space.
