Colors

Selecting a color to begin the design process is important to hold the banquet design together. Make sure each element of design for the table incorporates or compliments the color palate selected. Select colors that reflect the type of event you are planning. For example, a wedding banquet should be decorated with colors from the wedding. If the event does not have colors selected, begin by pulling a color palate from seasonal flowers. Colors do not have to be incorporated into every design element in the room, just used as accents. White table linens are the perfect compliment to any color and keep the room feeling light and open even with a large number of tables.

Linens

Table linens can reflect the color scheme chosen. You can use a large tablecloth with a neutral color such as white to color the whole table. Layer a smaller tablecloth over the base tablecloth to add color without overpowering the room. If you want your napkins in the same color as the tablecloth select a different shade of the same color to add visual interest. Using the same shade of the color through the room will create a flat design.

Flowers

Flowers arrangements on the tables can also be used to pull in colors from the overall design. Do not limit yourself to one color for the flowers as long as you incorporate the event colors into the arrangements. Make sure each banquet table has a similar flower arrangement to unify the design. The flower arrangements should be small enough that people can see each other across the table. Look for flowers that are seasonal for the arrangements to keep the costs of your arrangements down.

Other Considerations

You can cover the banquet chair for the table with fabric slip covers and tie a bow around the back of the table with ribbon the same color as the event colors. This will make the table design look fancier and will add more color to the room. Add small details such as name cards that also match the design of the tables by using the same colors. Silverware is also important to select. If the flower arrangements are very simple in design, make sure your silverware is also. The entire design should be reflected in all the elements selected.
