Wallpaper’s wedding table decor ideas
An artful display: Diptyque
Diptyque’s latest home collection, titled ‘Artist’s Palette’, includes plates, glassware and fabrics in a vibrant explosion of cerulean blues and primrose greens. Playful patterns adorn each object in the collection, from ovals to interlacing florals, confetti and pointillist dots, making for cheerful wedding table decor to accompany your joyful day.
Country-wedding chic: La Romaine Editions
French online outlet La Romaine Editions is known for its edit of charmingly eccentric homeware. Every few months, the brand releases a themed edit of wares and its most recent launch is ‘The Noce’, inspired by the idea of a country wedding amidst wheat fields.
But don’t let the provincial theme fool you into thinking this is a rustic or simple collection. ‘The Noce’ range features gems like a ‘Bride’s Candle’, handmade made by designer Camille Romagnani to look like a bouquet of wheat ears, vintage Alsace tablecloths repainted by designer Jenna Kaës, and a ‘Forget-Me-Not’ cup that’s been handblown in the Netherlands and looks like it came out of a fairytale.
Subtly retro: Skye McAlpine
Cookbook author Skye McAlpine’s new tableware collection is a darling, subtly retro range of ceramics, glassware, and linens that would look at home at Charleston (the modernist former home of painters Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant) or a Tuscan villa – think ruffled napkins in Liberty prints and multi-coloured Murano tumblers playfully complementing dishes decorated with ceramic berries and flowers.
It is an ideal tableware set for an unpretentious wedding with a more quaint than glamorous aesthetic, making it perfect for everyday use at home after the big day.
Slightly surreal: Gohar World
The new tableware collection from food stylist Laila Gohar and her artist sister Nadia lends itself to wedding table decor for the creative set. Designed with Gohar’s signature tongue-in-cheek, surrealist flair, this 40-piece set includes mother of pearl butter knives, cauliflower-shaped candles, and beaded bracelets for stemware.
Most notable is the line’s ‘Patrician Champagne Coupes’ which are made from Lobmyer’s signature lightweight crystal and have a sweet, super-short stem.
Beach-wedding ready: Gergei Erdei
Inspired by the 1970s jet-set lifestyles of Florida, Palm Beach and the Italian Riviera, the ‘Herculaneum’ collection by designer Gergei Erdei is ideal tableware for a beach wedding. The range takes its name from a popular seaside retreat for Ancient Roman elites, and its jubilant aesthetic is expressed through bold sea-motifs in tropical colours.
