Outdoor dining settings can look as haute as a ballroom ones – this peach and mint setup on a beach in Oman is the perfect example with its muted gold floor cushions, pretty chairs, sheesha pipes and delicate floral arrangements that are perfectly coordinated to match the decor.

7. Sand, Salt, Sea and Stars
Al fresco dining at a destination wedding doesn’t get much better than a table setting by the sea where the sound of the waves, hurricane candle holders lit up on tables and fairy lights strung across the slender trunks of trees work their magic on the beach. This freewheeling, casual setting is perfect for loved ones who can dress down or up depending on their mood before tucking into seafood delights and scintillating conversation.

10. Dainty Dinners
Votive candles get our vote when it comes to ease especially when you want to create a natural light setting. Perfect for outdoor wedding setups, candles can be placed in cutting chai tumblers and even teapot vases. Try and opt for transparent holders which will reflect the candlelight and give off a beautiful glow. Pair these with elegant table runners and floral bouquet for extra glamour.

11. Starlit Soiree
Rock your reception with a ballroom decorated in gold, rose-gold and dark blue velvet accents. Add a hint of whimsy to the chair capes with cute organza fringes and classic tableware, glistening crystal and elegant centerpieces.
12. Dramatic Artistry
Sometimes over-the-top arrangements are needed to add that ‘wow’ factor to wedding dining settings. This giant maroon centrepiece in rich scarlet and maroon hues pairs well with the dramatic chandeliers. The sheen of the carefully chosen jacquard table cover ties everything together beautifully.
