5 Simple Tips for Decorating a Table When You Are Short on Time

When you’re hosting a party, you may not have a lot of time to spend on table decor, but you still want it to look inviting and festive.

Here are some tips for decorating a table quickly for a party.

Keep It Simple

When you’re short on time, it’s best to keep your decor simple. Use a few key pieces that can make a big impact, such as a colorful tablecloth or a statement centerpiece.

Make a Simple Centerpiece

If you don’t have the time or budget to create an elaborate centerpiece, pick up a bunch of grocery store flowers and drop them in a vase.

Follow these tips to help keep your fresh flowers look amazing for longer.

Choose a Color Palette

A beautiful color palette can help you quickly pull together a cohesive look for your table. Neutral table decor that includes linens, candles and accessories can help create a classic look. When you want to add more color you can play up the florals or use more colorful linens.

Add Ambiance

Candles or string lights can add a festive touch to your table decor. Use battery-operated lights if you don’t have an outlet nearby.

Food as Decor

Open up the fridge and grab some colorful fruits or vegetables as part of the centerpiece or table runner. This will add another layer of texture and dimension to your table.

But really, the most important thing is to enjoy the party with your guests, so don’t stress too much about the table decor. Keep it simple and make things easier for yourself.

My Mothers Day Luncheon Tablescape

Welcome to my Mother’s Day luncheon tablescape, where we’ll be embracing the charming and romantic style of cottagecore.

For this special occasion, I’ve chosen to feature a vintage crock bouquet with sunflowers as the centerpiece, which adds a rustic and natural touch to the table.

To complete the look, I’ve brought out my finest china and vintage tableware, which adds an elegant and sophisticated element to the setting.

Whether you’re hosting a small gathering or a larger celebration, this tablescape is sure to impress and make your Mother’s Day celebration a truly memorable event.

So come along and join me as we indulge in the beauty and warmth of cottagecore style.

The Bouquet with Sunflowers Centerpiece

Whenever I decorate the table, I draw my inspiration from my centerpiece.

For this centerpiece idea, I decided to use the freshest flowers I had on hand, my vintage crock that is filled with a bouquet of sunflowers.

I usually gravitate to pinks and neutrals, but today, I’m feeling bold and cheerful. So I am vibing with these gorgeous blooms.

And I love how those sunflowers pick up the gold in my crystal chandelier like this one.

Most markets and florists have them ready for purchase, so sunflowers are pretty easy to find, even this time of year. I received mine as part of my last flower subscription bouquet for the year.

Now you’re probably wondering why a flower gardener needs a flower subscription and the answer is…I don’t when my gardens are blooming.

I purchased this subscription during the winter months to keep my home feeling fresh, cozy, and beautiful. So this is the last one of the year.

I usually make my own flower arrangements, but since I had this one on hand, it works! And so far, this bouquet has lasted two weeks now and still looks pretty amazing.

As an aside, this is what I do to keep my flowers looking fresher for longer.

But I digress. The sunflowers are the inspiration for the table and this is how I pulled the rest of this look together.

How to Decorate a Table in Minutes

Aside from the centerpiece flowers, I had everything else on hand, so this table decor idea came together in minutes.

If you want to create a gorgeous table in a snap, it’s important to buy the right supplies that you will use over and over and over again.

And when you buy them, think through how you can use them with different types of seasons, holidays, and events. The more neutral you go, the easier it will be to use repeatedly.

Here are some table decorations that I have and use on repeat. But the tables always look a little different!

• Gold chargers
• Cedar branch placemats or small boxwood wreaths
• Neutral Dinnerware
• Tablecloth or table runner
• Linen napkins (I usually buy these in several colors)
• Flatware
• Goblets (I usually buy these in several colors and shapes too)

Table Decor Idea for Mother’s Day Luncheon

For our Mother’s Day luncheon, I covered the table with a beautiful neutral linen tablecloth with pretty ruffles. And then added the sunflower centerpiece to get the aesthetic going.

Since I didn’t use a table runner, I added a cozy layer down the center of the table with a eucalyptus garland like this one. And then tucked in some vintage candlestick holders with these battery-operated taper candles.

Although we don’t need candles necessarily for a luncheon, the candlesticks add a little extra bling to the table and we can turn the candles on if we want to.

For each place setting, I started with these beautiful cedar branch placemats as the base layer. If you can’t find them, you can always use a small boxwood wreath or, if you are crafty, DIY the placemat with these faux cedar branches.

Then I added a simple gold charger on top of the greens. And then added my Lenox dinnerware. If you don’t have Lenox, use what you have.

To soften the look of the plates, I added a folded linen napkin in between. And then topped each table setting with a cute little faux birds nest to add a little more texture to the table.

Because I love those cheerful sunflowers, I played up that color with my vintage gold goblets. As an aside, glassware is fun to mix and match. So don’t feel like you have to have everything all coordinate from the same brand or look.

Since I am accenting with gold, I used my grandmother’s gold flatware in these pretty cutlery pouches.

To add a little more bling to the table, I incorporated these adorable mini gold lanterns and votive candles.
