Tabletop Design Inspirations for Your Next Event

Tabletop design plays a crucial role in the overall aesthetic of any type of event. From weddings and social events such as Sweet 16’s and Bar and Bat Mitzvah parties to at-home holidays and dinner parties to corporate event gatherings, a beautiful tabletop can complete the look of every event decor vision.

Selecting the right combination of tabletop event rentals, such as dinnerware, flatware, glassware, table linens and napkins, and charger plates can be quite a task if you aren’t sure what look you want, or which items pair best together.

For this reason, we created our Atlas Look Book filled with curated tabletop designs to make the planning and selecting process easy!

What To Know Before Selecting A Tabletop Design

It’s best to go into the tabletop design process with a few key factors in place. This will help streamline the process and help you select a predesign tabletop look that meets the needs of the upcoming event.

Here are a few things to consider when selecting a tabletop design:

What is your budget?

We recommend establishing your event budget and understanding the funds allocated for event rentals before selecting tabletop items.

What Are The Venue’s In-House Tabletop Options?

The venue at which the wedding or event is being held will likely have tabletop items available to you. When working with your venue contact, ask the following questions:

• What type of linens and napkins do you offer and in what colors?
• What types of tables do you have for my event and what sizes are available?
• Do you have tabletop items? If so, what is available for my event in terms of charger plates, dinnerware, glassware,  and flatware?

If the event is taking place at a private residence, determine if there are any tabletop items available for use that may be incorporated with rentals.

Define the Event Vision

While some dream of a white wedding, others want something different such as vintage looks, bold pops of color, or a beach vibe. Knowing the event decor vision is helpful when selecting the wedding table settings because it helps you narrow down the search. When you understand loosely what you are looking for, you can better select the right table linen rentals, glassware, flatware, and charger plates for the event.

Curated Tabletop Designs

We’ve organized our Inspiration section featuring table designs into categories. From wedding looks to holiday designs as well as sorting by color, it’s very easy to search for design ideas for your next event either by style or color.
