Table decorations are a perfect excuse to get creative and go crazy with the décor of your table. The general notion of table decoration is restricted to the use of fancy tableware and good food. But today, the idea is much changed and there is multitude of options available to enhance the look of your table. Appropriate table decorations not only enhance the look, but also set a more festive look. The decorations can be made at home or readymade and there is a wide range available to help you create the desired look.

The main feature of table decorations is that they can cost as little as a few rupees or go up to a few thousands. Depending on your budget, you can create an atmosphere of elegance or something more hip.

There are several ways by which you can decorate your table. Some of these are:

- Candles: Candles are the easiest way to set a mood and create an air of festivity. Depending on the occasion you can get creative and use candleholders that look appealing to enhance the look of your table. Avoid using scented candles as they clash with the aroma of your food. If you don't want to use candleholders, try using a deep dish filled with water, dropping in some colorful petals in it and then adding some floating candles. Perfect for traditional functions. You can also create some beautiful centerpieces and highlight them by putting candles in the center of them.

Just ensure that the flower arrangement is not obstructive. You can choose from a range of flower vases, to create the right look. Generally crystal and glass flower vases are perfect to create a formal and elegant lo. For a casual look, try using wooden or ceramic flower vases.

- Center pieces: centerpieces look elegant as well as sophisticated. They are also a great way to add color to the room. You can either get standard designs that can be used all year round or use a design which is typical of the season. Another great way is to use a base- a tray, and decorate it with dried flowers etc.

- Confetti- confetti, though messy adds a lot of color to the room and also looks festive. Perfect to decorate the table for a child's party.

- Figurines: if you want some table decorations for a large table, try using a figurine. There are loads of types of sculptures available in the market. Lacquer figurines can be used to create an ethnic look. Try using brass figurines to create a classic look.
