A lot of detail goes into planning your wedding or special event. From the attire to the menu to the table settings, your choices will influence the look and feel of your celebration, for better or worse.
Sometimes, however, when it comes to event decor, it can be confusing to figure out how to express yourself and your style. One of the biggest and best ways to capture the mood is through your table decor.
At Tribeca Rooftop + 360° in NYC, your design options aren’t limited by the space. The venue is highly transformable and works like a true blank canvas, which means you can personalize the look and feel to match your theme, brand, colors, season, or style. From layouts and lighting to linens, florals, and tabletop details, your event can be styled exactly the way you want it.

Top Ideas for Decorating Your Table Tops
Look To Your Venue
The easiest and most economical way to decorate your tabletops for your special day is to see what your venue offers. Some venues have tables, chairs, linens, silverware, glassware, and dishes.
At Tribeca Rooftop + 360° in NYC, we have everything you need to set a beautiful tabletop, including romantic tea lights. And because our venue is a blank canvas, you can personalize your tablescape to fit any vibe, modern, romantic, minimalist, dramatic, or anything in between. You bring the flowers, and we’ll help bring the rest together.
Rent Your Decor
If you’re looking for a particular style or color scheme, many rental options are available in NYC. From bold and bright to understated and elegant, it pays to call around to find exactly what you’re looking for.
While rental prices may vary depending on your rental company’s pattern and location, supplies are usually available for many different budgets.
Purchase Your Decor
Purchasing your table settings can have pros and cons, especially if you have a huge wedding. Costs add up, and you’ll wonder what to do with your purchases after the event. This is why buying your tabletop decor is not as common as renting.
Still, there are ways to save money on unique decor if you want a unique setup. Check thrift stores, dollar stores, yard sales, antique stores, and department stores for matching sets, or choose different styles to add a unique look to your tablescape.
Don’t Forget The Flowers
Once you have your place settings set, remember to purchase the decorations. Flowers, candles, lanterns, and more all add dimension to your tabletop.
Whether they’re level or staggered in heights and widths, decorative items dress up your tables with a style that’s uniquely your own. Look to bridal magazines, social media, and blogs to get inspiration for your tables, or collaborate with your florist to see the latest trends and seasonal colors.
Since Tribeca Rooftop + 360° is a transformable, blank-canvas venue, florals and centerpieces are one of the best ways to personalize the space, tie your theme together, and create a big visual impact, from simple and airy to bold and dramatic.

Add Personalized Touches
Little details can leave a big impression. Incorporating personalized elements, like custom name cards, monogrammed napkins, or favors at each place setting, helps make each guest feel special. You could even include a handwritten note or a small keepsake that ties into your wedding theme or story as a couple. These thoughtful additions elevate the tablescape from pretty to truly memorable.
Personal touches also shine even more in a blank-canvas venue, because every element you choose helps define the overall look and feel.
Play With Layers and Textures
To give your tabletops more visual interest, consider layering different materials and textures. Mix velvet runners with metallic chargers, or pair linen napkins with glass accents for a rich, dynamic look. Layering creates depth and dimension, making each table feel curated and sophisticated. Don’t be afraid to mix patterns, fabrics, and finishes to achieve a chic, elevated aesthetic.
Ready, Steady, Go!
Once you’ve got your decor options set, remember to place your order so you’re guaranteed the patterns and styles you want for your big day.
