The cocktail table is the centerpiece of most living rooms—it’s not just a functional surface for your five o’clock glass of wine, but a spot to show off your personality and house items to entertain fidgety guests. With that in mind, there are many ways to decorate a cocktail table, and the options can seem endless: You could display a few items or a bunch, bring in natural elements, or stick with modern graphic pieces. We turned to five established designers across the country to find out how they create beautiful tablescapes for their interiors projects. Here, they share their go-to decorative objects and the styling ideas we can replicate in our own homes.
Today we wanted to look back at some of our recent cocktail weddings to help you with styling inspiration for your own big day. If you’re currently leaning towards a cocktail reception, keep reading for some of our favourite modern styling ideas below!
