For some couples, your wedding tables are the epicentre of your big day decor. The chance to show off your floristry, bring together your colour scheme, or highlight a theme.
For others it's a little more simple, something to give a flicker of candlelight, present a thoughtful favour, or lend a touch of colour to white tablecloths and crockery.
This year, we've had some beautifully decorated tables on Bridal Musings, from both the real weddings, and the styled shoots we feature every week.
So, as we continue our round-up of 2015, we thought we'd share a few of our favourites, with the hope they might inspire your own big day tables too!

The entirely ornate to the utterly simple, the floral-filled to the sparsely candlelit, and the sweetly rustic to the elegantly refined, we've had them all.
New trends this year have included tall candlesticks, foliage garland runners, and edible decor, while classic charger plates, small posies, and jam jar decorations have remained as popular as ever.

Aren't they just gorgeous? I'm more than a bit obsessed with foliage garlands, though herb pots and mixed botanicals are so chic as well.
