- 1). Make sure the room is clean. You won't want to set up if the floor needs to be swept, or the tables are dirty. Take care of any last minute cleaning that should be done before you decorate.
- 2). Place the table and chairs in the order you will want them in. Don't forget that you will need space for a buffet table, unless it is a sit down dinner. There should be a head table for the wedding party, a parent's table for the families of the bride and groom and a setting at every other table for the guests. The head table (wedding party table) should be placed at one end of the room, so the bride, groom and wedding party are facing the other tables. This will give all the guests a great view of the happy couple.
- 3). Put table clothes on each table. Make sure there is enough room for people to sit comfortably and that there are enough tables and chairs, plus a few extra for unexpected guests.
- 4). Place the centerpieces on the tables. There may be a special center piece for the head table, but all the others should be similar. You can make centerpieces with candles, flowers, candy, a bowl with water and a floating candle or flower, or anything else that appeals to the couple. If you use flowers or candles, the appearance is magnified and reflected beautifully if they are placed on top of a small mirror. It may add an extra touch if you put streamers and/or balloons hanging from the head table.
- 5). If you have made favors, you should place one at each place setting on each table.
- 6). Look around at the decorated room. Is there anything missing? If you think it looks great, you have finished. If there are some other little touches that need to be made, use your imagination and take care of them.
