Importance of Table Decor in a Summer Wedding
Table decor is an essential aspect of wedding planning as it contributes to the overall aesthetic and atmosphere of the event. It sets the stage for a memorable dining experience and leaves a lasting impression on guests. For a summer wedding, the decor should reflect the season's joyful spirit. This calls for a fresh and vibrant color palette. You can go for bold and bright hues like coral, turquoise, or yellow to create a lively and cheerful atmosphere. Alternatively, if you prefer a more subtle and elegant look, we offer pastel shades and neutral tones that exude sophistication and refinement.
Not only does Kim Seybert's tableware add aesthetic appeal, but it also serves a practical purpose. The napkins are not only soft and luxurious but also durable and easy to clean. The placemats and tablecloth are made from high-quality materials that can withstand the summer heat and any spills that may occur during the festivities. This ensures that your table decor remains intact and beautiful throughout the entire event.
Choosing the Right Color Palette
Seasonal Colors
When selecting products for a summer wedding, it is essential to consider seasonal colors that harmonize with the surroundings. Pastels, vibrant yellows, and cool blues are popular choices that capture the essence of summer. These colors evoke feelings of joy, serenity, and optimism, resonating with the celebratory atmosphere of the wedding. Our Dahlia Placemat in Sorbet is great for a floral wedding, with its pastel tones and intricate beaded patterns. It will pair beautifully with the Dip Dye Napkin and the Flutter Napkin Ring in Lilac & Periwinkle. These colors are perfect for a pink, purple, and blue themed wedding.
Color Coordination Tips
Coordinating colors between tablecloths, placemats, napkins, and napkin rings is crucial for creating a harmonious and visually appealing table setting. Harmonizing the colors effectively can enhance the overall aesthetic and contribute to a cohesive and inviting atmosphere.

Napkins and Napkin Rings
Folding and Presentation
The presentation of napkins plays a significant role in the visual appeal of the table decor. Whether for a formal or casual wedding reception, knowing how to fold napkins creatively can add an elegant touch to the setting. Additionally, the use of napkin rings can elevate the presentation, adding a sophisticated and refined element to the table. We have a wide range of bridal napkin and napkin rings, which mostly have gold and silver accents. Our Classic Napkins like the Jardin, Filament, and Luminance Napkins will pair easily with most napkin rings and placemats due to their simple design. They are best paired with our gold Napkin rings, like the Papillon Napkin Ring in Gold & Crystal, or the Bamboo Napkin Ring in Gold.
Additionally, we have plenty of tutorials for different types of Napkin Folds. The Layered Tri-Fold and the Crepe Fold are perfect for an elegant and crisp look. Their design is perfect for more simple one-toned napkins with minimal designs, whereas the Dip Dye Showstopper is perfect to display the multiple tones of colors on our Dip Dye Napkins.
Choosing the Right Fabric
Selecting the right fabric for napkins is crucial in creating the desired ambiance. Fabrics like silk exude luxury and elegance, while cotton offers a more laid-back and approachable vibe. The choice of fabric can align with the overall theme of the wedding, contributing to the desired atmosphere.
Tablecloths and Runners
Choosing Between Tablecloths and Runners
The decision to use a full tablecloth or a runner depends on the type of wedding reception and the desired aesthetic. Full tablecloths create a polished and formal look, while runners offer a more relaxed and contemporary vibe. Understanding when to use each option is essential for achieving the desired visual impact. The Embroidered Palm Tablecloth from our newest Spring 2024 launch is perfect for adding beautiful gold accents and a summertime design. For a single-toned tablecloth, the Seersucker Tablecloth in White or the Fringe Tablecloth in White & Gold are perfect for a more subtle and relaxed look.
In terms of table runners, you can utilize the Papillon Runner, with its gorgeous flower and butterfly beading, as a beautiful showstopping centerpiece. For a more floral look, we have the Gardenia and Dahlia Runners to match the respective beaded placemats.
Impact of Textures
Textures play a crucial role in the look and feel of table decor. Options such as lace, satin, or jute can add depth and character to the overall aesthetic. These textures can be selected to align with the wedding theme, adding a touch of romance, sophistication, or rustic charm to the table setting.
Accessorizing Your Table
Centerpieces That Complement Table Decor
Centerpieces are an integral part of table decor, and selecting ones that harmonize with the chosen tableware products is essential. The centerpieces should complement the tablecloths, placemats, and napkins, adding a focal point that enhances the overall visual appeal. Aside from table runners, you can choose from our array of Candle Holders and Vases to scatter throughout the table. Our Egyptian Candle Holders can help add depth and varying height to your table, especially with their different sizes and colors. The braid Candle Holder, available in Clear and Champagne, is tall and slim and will complement the Ripple Candle Holder best. The differences in textures and sizes will help enhance the overall table.
Additionally, you can use our Scallop and Trumpet bud vase and pair them with your beautifully curated flower arrangements. Tulips, peonies, roses, and gardenias are perfect for an ideal wedding bouquet. They would look stunning in our vases and perfect paired with different-sized candle holders.
