Lush Wedding Garlands Guaranteed to Elevate Your Reception Tables

Give your wedding the royal treatment.

1 of 16

When it comes to your reception centerpieces, there are so many options to choose from. You could go with a simple, low-key arrangement or light up the room with candle centerpieces. There's no wrong decision; you have to select the floral decorations that work best in your space and fit with your vibe. While we're suckers for any type of floral arrangement, there's one design we particularly love, and that's long, lush garlands of greenery and flowers. The beauty of a garland is that it can act as both a centerpiece and a table runner, fills the entire length of your table, and allows for easy conversation amongst guests.

Mainly found on banquet-style tables, the long cord of florals and leaves gives your tablescape (and your entire reception!) a rich, elevated vibe. Take a look at how these real weddings used garlands on their tables.
