Candlesticks
If You Like Tea Lights . . .
Try: Candlesticks No one is disputing that tea lights are romantic additions to any wedding table, but they're almost rivaled in ambience-setting by the classic candlestick. A full-length candle, in a holder or candelabra, brings drama and classic sophistication to weddings, which can be beautiful when brides and grooms want a more formal vibe.
Chandeliers
If You Like Trellised Lights . . .
Try: Chandeliers Hanging decor can beautifully frame an altar or dance floor and is a special part of an overall decor theme. But instead of hanging lights, a big trend in 2015 will be stringing up chandeliers. Often the chandeliers can be wired for light or equipped with batteries, providing mood-setting illumination while simultaneously setting a serene and classic mood.
Arrows
If You Like Clothespins . . .
Try: Arrows The clothespin has been a nearly ubiquitous presence at weddings and is often used creatively in escort card displays. Now couples are using arrows in fun and creative new ways.

Favors at Place Settings
If You Like Foodie Favors . . .
Try: Incorporating Favors Into Place Settings Who doesn't love leaving a wedding reception with an edible favor? Instead of putting favors out at the end of a party, brides and grooms can incorporate the gifts right into the table settings. All the care that goes into selecting a thoughtful favor will be even more appreciated when they double as decor.
