Simplicity at its finest. This design offers couples the perfect blend of modern and elegance. What better way to communicate to your guests your personality and style than through your tablescape? Leave your guests with a defining experience.

We want you to be confident and comfortable with your wedding style. What do you want your guests to experience? An evening with great food and a glass of champagne over a beautiful table celebrating with family and friends? That is what we envisioned with this style.

At Davis and Grey Farm, a modern farmhouse nestled among the open Texas sky, we were able to compliment this Sophisticated Elegant tablescape with a modern statement. The use of textures and various centerpiece heights creates visual interest.

“I think there’s something to be said when couples take time for just the two of them on their wedding day. Intimate dining should be a priority not only for your guests but you as newlyweds as well. When documenting any part of the wedding day, it’s essential to communicate well in advance with your couple about the important moments they want to document. For moments like this, we allow the moment to unfold and capture the true essence of our newlyweds.” - Rachel Elaine Photography

An Intimate Dining Experience

Take your sweetheart table to the next level. Create a space for an intimate private dining experience. Take this time to celebrate alone with your partner or accompanied by your parents or grandparents away from the swarm of guests that you will soon greet you with many congratulatory hugs or fist bumps.

The Floral Bar created an engaging experience for this couple. Illuminating the table with an array of candles and various small vases of blooms, along with the floating cloud of orchids, gives the couple a calming and romantic feel.

The Guest Table

As your guests enter the reception to find their seats, their eyes will be visually stunned by the simplicity and clean palette of white and black—no need to overpower your tables with an abundance of centerpieces. A mixture of bud vases and small white blooms gives a clean and modern look.

Selecting different place settings for your head table and guest tables can elevate your guest experience. The clean white linen for the head table and black velvet linens for the guest tables give both a formal look and feel. Top Tier’s-top of the line collection of event rentals has the versatility to deliver an event that exceeds your expectations.

The Head Table

The head table should be centrally located and a focal point in your reception space. For this head table, we designed this exclusively for the wedding party. We let the single stem orchids do all the talking, giving your most beloved guests a once in a lifetime experience. From custom menus, designed by Brown Fox Creative, each with their name printed on the menu complete with a wax seal, this table leaves you nothing short of, “I’m important.”

“By utilizing a black and white color palette, I wanted to show brides the possibility of minimalistic design while still leaving guests saying, “wow.” These three different designs simultaneously yet intentionally intertwine to create a refined and modern tablescape. My approach was to remain simplistic overall with the floral pieces and paper goods as the focal point.” - Morgan, Southern Enchantments
