I’ve gathered 16 inspiring ideas to help you decorate these tables in ways that reflect your personal style and complement your overall wedding theme.
Round table centerpieces come in many forms, from dramatic floral arrangements to simple DIY options that can fit various budgets. Whether you’re looking for sustainable choices or statement pieces, these ideas will guide you through options that work well with the circular shape of your tables.
The 60-inch round tables common at many venues provide ample space for creative decoration while still leaving room for place settings and guest comfort.
1. Elegant floral wreath centerpieces
Floral wreath centerpieces create a stunning focal point for round wedding tables. I love how they frame the center of the table without blocking guests’ views across the table.
These versatile decorations can feature seasonal blooms in your wedding colors. You can place candles, small vases, or decorative objects in the center of the wreath for added elegance.
2. Vintage-inspired candelabras
Candelabras bring timeless elegance to round wedding tables. These ornate pieces come in crystal, silver, and antique gold finishes that create a romantic glow.
For a cohesive look, pair your candelabras with white flowers and neutral linens. The combination of flickering candlelight and metallic finishes adds vintage charm without overwhelming the table.
3. Geometric terrariums with succulents
Geometric terrariums add a modern touch to wedding tables. These glass containers come in various shapes like diamonds, cubes, triangles, and pentagons.
Fill them with small succulents and moss for a natural feel. They work perfectly as centerpieces and can be placed individually or grouped together.
These terrariums are versatile and fit well with both boho and contemporary wedding themes. Guests often admire how the glass shapes create interesting light patterns on the table.
4. Charming tea light arrangements
Tea lights can create a magical glow on round wedding tables. I recommend placing them in small glass holders scattered around your centerpiece for a warm ambiance.
These tiny candles work well in clusters of three or five. You can also float them in shallow water bowls alongside delicate flower petals for a romantic effect.
5. Organic greenery table runners
Organic greenery table runners add a natural touch to round wedding tables. They create a lush pathway across the table that draws the eye and adds dimension.
Fresh eucalyptus, ivy, or willow leaves make beautiful runners that complement any wedding color scheme. These natural elements can stand alone or serve as a base for small flower arrangements.
For longer-lasting options, high-quality artificial vines work well too. Some couples incorporate seasonal elements like pine in winter or colorful leaves in fall for added personality.
6. Rustic lanterns with fairy lights
Rustic lanterns paired with twinkling fairy lights create a magical atmosphere for circle wedding tables. I love how these centerpieces blend rustic charm with enchanting illumination.
The combination serves as both decor and functional lighting. Lanterns come in various sizes and materials, making them versatile for any wedding style.
Adding greenery around the base enhances the rustic appeal. These centerpieces are memorable enough that guests might want similar decorations for their own homes.
7. Personalized place cards with bows
Personalized place cards with bows add an elegant touch to circle wedding tables. These small details enhance the overall table decor while helping guests find their seats.
Bow-shaped place cards come in various styles, from delicate ribbon attachments to cards cut in bow shapes. You can match the bow colors to your wedding theme for a cohesive look.
I recommend placing these charming cards atop each dinner plate or tucking them into napkin folds. This small addition brings together your table design while serving a practical purpose.
8. Whimsical balloon centerpieces
Balloon centerpieces add a playful touch to circle wedding tables. They create visual height and impact without blocking guests’ views.
Confetti-filled balloons paired with floral elements make for eye-catching arrangements. These versatile decorations can match any wedding color scheme.
I’ve found that balloon centerpieces often require less time to create than traditional floral arrangements, making them perfect for DIY couples.
9. Elegant chandelier-style holders
Chandelier-style holders bring a touch of luxury to round wedding tables. These stunning centerpieces feature crystal or metal frames that hang above the table, creating a dramatic focal point.
Many couples choose these holders with hanging tea lights or small flower arrangements. The light reflects beautifully off the crystals, adding a romantic glow to your reception.
These elegant pieces work especially well in venues with high ceilings where they can truly showcase their grandeur.
10. Classic candle and greenery mix
A timeless centerpiece option for round tables is the classic mix of candles and greenery. White pillar candles of varying heights create depth when clustered at the center of the table.
I recommend weaving loose greenery, like eucalyptus, between the candles for a natural touch. This combination works with nearly any wedding style and stays within budget for most couples.
11. Colorful paper flower centerpieces
Paper flower centerpieces add a vibrant touch to wedding tables. I love how they can be customized in any color scheme to match your wedding palette.
These centerpieces are budget-friendly alternatives to fresh flowers. They last forever as keepsakes after your special day.
You can create stunning arrangements with crepe paper, cardstock, or tissue paper in various shapes and sizes.
12. Minimalistic white and gold theme
White and gold creates a clean, elegant look for wedding tables. I find this color combination works perfectly for a minimalist approach while still feeling luxurious.
Try using simple white tablecloths with gold chargers or cutlery. Add a few white flowers in clear vases with thin gold accents for a refined centerpiece.
This theme pairs well with cream-colored candles and subtle gold-rimmed glassware for a cohesive look.
13. Seasonal fruit arrangements
Seasonal fruits add a pop of color and freshness to circle wedding tables. I think incorporating fruits like apples, berries, peaches, and citrus creates a natural, vibrant centerpiece that’s budget-friendly.
These arrangements can be customized to match your wedding season. Spring tables might feature strawberries and cherries, while fall celebrations could showcase apples and pears.
14. Wooden slice table accents
Wooden slices make beautiful, rustic accents for wedding tables. These natural pieces add earthy texture and warmth to any tablescape.
I find that wooden slices work perfectly as platforms for centerpieces, holding candles, flowers, or mason jars. They’re versatile enough to complement both elegant and country-themed weddings.
Many couples choose USA-made slices that are precision-cut and kiln-dried for a flawless finish. The 12-13 inch size works well for most round table arrangements.
15. Crystal vase with fresh blooms
Crystal vases make stunning centerpieces for circle wedding tables. Their sparkle catches light beautifully, creating a magical effect across your reception space.
Fresh flowers in crystal vases add elegance without overwhelming the table. Choose blooms that match your wedding colors for a cohesive look.
I find that simple arrangements work best – even a few roses or tulips can create an impressive display in a quality crystal vessel.
16. Hanging glass orbs with lights
Hanging glass orbs with lights create a magical atmosphere for wedding table settings. These transparent spheres can be suspended at different heights above tables, filling the space with warm, twinkling light.
Glass orbs work beautifully for rustic woodland themes or glamorous settings. You can fill them with small LED lights, votives, or even crystals for extra sparkle.
