Weddings are going forward in 2021, but with a more intimate guest list. These micro weddings offer the bride and groom the opportunity to pay more attention to design details like table decor. Town & Country magazine names the "bespoke table" a major trend this year. NgLp Designs, a luxury brand of designer placemats and table decor accessories, brings art to the table for all of life's celebrations. Here's inspiration for your own intimate wedding.
What a darling detail! Think about using this pocket to hold your dinner menu.
Get The Look: You can find both the white Goa Chopsticks and the Kim Seybert Agate Napkin Rings at Amara.
Feeling formal? A black and white wedding is always in style. In fact, Brides magazine tells us that formal settings are trending this year. These pretty pockets will hold a menu, napkin, or even a program.
Get The Look: For beautiful deckle edge black or white place cards with calligraphy look to Paperwing Letters. Matouk has stylishly Scalloped Napkins similar to those above.
Black Tie Placemat
Let the party begin! Ruffles soften the look of the black faux leather, much like a ruffled tuxedo shirt. The setting is dramatic, modern, and all dressed up.

Get The Look: Find the Goa Chopsticks at Amara. A good and affordable dinnerware option in black and white is this stoneware. The mixing of patterns add interest. Mod Party's shiny small boxes are understated but elegant. Place them on the table with a truffle or two inside. Keep it tasteful.
Black, white and silver - what a pretty palette. This placemat presents a minimal look which is the perfect backdrop to the geometric dishes. Love the silver grommets, which gives added sparkle to
the table.
Get The Look: The dishes above are by Caskata and can be found at Williams Sonoma. Why not register for them? If you are really on a budget, and doing the reception outdoors, these black and white paper plates are fabulous!
For the Placemat Girls, there is always a silver lining to any occasion. This placemat in several shades of grey is simply stunning. When paired with the matching napkin ring, it makes a sparkling statement! Add to the table a bottle of your favorite wine. The collection of gift bags add a special touch to each gift.
Get The Look: The gift bag above is accented with a Kelly Wearstler bottle stopper, which is so much fun, but out of stock everywhere. For a quite a bit less, The Glo Boutique has a lovely heart stopper.
Keeping it neutral? NgLp Designs has all the chic colors you could want. Why not mix it up at each table? For extra stylish service, one of their artisanal napkin rings serves up interest as a flatware holder. The feather adds the whimsy.
Love the rustic layered look of the slab of wood above? You can find something very close at
Here's another look at these haute holders. They will hold flatware, menus, personal notes, table numbers and more. By the way another trend for 2021 according to Brides Magazine, is assigned seating at the ceremony, for social distancing. Why not pass out one to each guest with their seat number and program? That makes a style statement that will never be forgotten.
Fabulous in every way. The Gala is a look like no other. The golden grommets and laced up look can go casual or dressy. If you love pink, consider mixing it with deeper hues, as styled above, for a
sophisticated statement.
Get The Look: These Hemstitched Pure Linen Dinner Napkins at Reeve Co in blush are beautiful! On a budget? Zen Linen has a pink polyester napkin that is super affordable. Consider the vellum place cards at SJ Letter Company in burgundy or brown to complete the tablescape.
A luxe layered look with the Funk placemat. The shades of purple create a depth of both color and style at each place setting.
Get The look: Mixed and matched with the Funk placemat is Arte Italica's Tesoro Charger. It's fab, but pricey. A less expensive option can be found at Etsy. Mackenzie-Childs Butterfly dishes add a breath of springtime. Noritake's Plum Plates would mix in wonderfully.
This mat plays well with nature both in color and its' organic shape. I love it used for an outdoor wedding.
Get The Look: Recreate the centerpiece without a florist! World Market has a cylinder vase that just might work perfectly, and the price is right. Fill it with bling black acrylic vase fillers. They will add the drama in a clear vase. To complete this nature inspired table, these tree branches ship to you for free. More here.
This soft green gift bag has been handmade, like everything offered. It's a good color to use at your outdoor party. The color of nature. Note how perfectly the ribbon matches the fabric. The ruffle pocket provides the perfect spot for a welcome or thank you note.
Get The Look: I know that you will find just the right paper stock at Paradise Invitations for those notes. If gifting a bottle of wine, why not personalize a wine label? You'll find over 100 styles at Farrah and Eve. It's all about the special touches!
Frilly and fun. The off white color isn't just for winter, however. They would pair wonderfully with your champagne color wedding dress.
Get The Look: Mario Luca Giusti's acrylic tumblers add a pop of purple. The Bashful Bride offers almost the exact brass and glass vases.
Seal your setting with a kiss. The handcrafted napkin ring adds a passionate pop of color.
Get The Look: CB2 had a stylish selection of black dinnerware and flatware.
