Today we’ve the prettiest of wedding decor inspiration in the form of table runners and garlands for your reception. In recent years many couples have decided to say bye-bye to round tables and chosen banqueting style long tables to add a relaxed and informal touch to their after-wedding party, hence why table runners have become so popular. From lashings of lace for a vintage tea party touch to masses of foliage and flowers-of-the-day for extravagant floral garlands, the choices are endless and your creativity can really be on display for your guests to enjoy.
