Tablescapes have become very popular. Using a theme for your table decor helps you create more than just a fun look, it creates an entire experience for your guests. Tablescapes are a creative and unique way to express your personality and capture the ambiance of your event. Check out some of the tablescapes we created at a recent event held on the 9th floor of the Joseph Smith Memorial Building in the Sharon/Manchester Room.

Items used to create a beach theme on your tables

Burlap, Fish Netting, Seashells, A Sign Displaying Your Theme, Brick Structure to Hold Chafer Full of Delicious Lobster Macaroni!

Small wooden beams tied with rope, pastel flowers, rustic white tree bark surrounding some flower vases, wooden or iron lanterns and any other items such as a decorative round lifesaver is perfect for this look.

Blue vases or dying the water in the vases blue brings the ocean to the table.

Burlap, Burlap, and more Burlap. Trendy and perfect for your beach theme. Also, using branch or coral looking items, lanterns, candles and sand help complete the look.

Items used for a Country Look at your tables

A lot of veggies, wooden barrels, mason jars and sunflowers. It’s amazing how one table, decorated correctly, can make you feel like you’re in a completely different place.

Items used for a Green outdoor look for your tables

Burlap works great for this Tablescape as well. Also, succulent plants, green vases and lanterns with candles. This very green Tablescape creates a succulent forest feel with a mystical, yet homey ambiance.

Several different plants and grasses create a dynamic green look with multiple textures that are very appealing to the eye. Cream colored flowers add another soft element that compliments the overall green theme.

Split-peas are a fun item to use under candles to continue the green outdoor feel.

Definitely use wood! Here we tied two sticks around these vases which not only unifies the whole centerpiece, but it adds a nice contrast against the smooth glass vases.

How to create a "Great Gatsby" wedding

Posted by Weddings At Temple Square on March 28th, 2013

Bring your own style into your wedding day.

Click HERE to listen to our Catering Director, Dianne Theurer,

as she talks about creating a Great Gatsby wedding.

Below are some ideas on how to create your own “Great Gatsby”/1920′s wedding!

1. Pick a venue built in the early 1900′s or a venue created with that type of feel.

The Joseph Smith Memorial Building/Hotel Utah was built in 1911. This is just one venue idea but there are several. Even an outdoor wedding event can be transformed into the 1920′s with the right decor.
