The candles come off as the pops of color in our tablescape design. Ivory plates in contrast with the inky table linens look like the guests are dining in the infinity of space. You can also opt for other nude tones to complement the black linens.

Today’s featured tablescape is admittedly out of the ordinary but it’s not entirely unconventional for weddings. In fact, one of the wedding trends to note for in 2019 is the use of luxe color palettes. If you want to go dusky and bold but want to keep the minimalist style, then go for black and other dark tones. Remember to include soft and dreamy romantic elements for the romantic side of the design.
