Even if you love a particular centrepiece, it is advisable to give your guests a new experience for each event. Social Media plays such a huge part in everyone’s lives now that you can guarantee photos of your event will be shared everywhere. Keep it exciting by giving guests something new to show every time. There are such fantastic ranges of stunning table art for events now that you need never repeat the same centrepiece.

When it comes to choosing your table centre, size really does matter. If you have a performance taking place on the stage or a presentation on a screen, it is vital your centrepiece doesn’t block the view for your guests. However, you don’t want something too small and insignificant that no-one even notices it is there.
When guests are seated at the dining table, their line of sight is usually between 400mm and 600mm. It is important to ensure that you have nothing that has bulk within this range. You can choose to go shorter but impressive and unique with something like the lit Earth Globe or a low-level Lampshade. However, you can still go tall but the area within the line of sight should be as thin as possible. This can be achieved using a clear acrylic pole or specially designed acrylic legs holding the design of your choice. High or low, once lit you can create a stunning effect across the whole venue without getting in the way.

Modern technology is now a major part of any event. This, in particular, has had a great effect on table art for events. Whilst this is a fantastic step forward with creating new and innovative effects, there may be times when you do not want your guests distracted.
Our latest technology has solved this issue. Now, at the touch of a button, Table Art’s super reliable systems can change the brightness and colour of each individual centrepiece.

Be careful when deciding on the colour you would like your table centres to be lit. If you choose the same colour as the rest of the room lighting, you may lose the impact. It is more advisable to choose a contrasting or complimenting shade. You also need to consider which light option is best for your event. You may be happy with a basic light which will give you a range of colours to choose from. However, if you are looking for a specific shade where the correct mix of colour is important, then you will want to go with DMX radio control. The added advantage of this is that you can also use the radio control to create some stunning effects across the room.

If you are planning to give your event a theme then a themed centrepiece is the perfect way to dress the room. From sports to movies to countries to seasons, the list is endless. You may not even need much other room décor as the lit table centres themselves create the mood.

If your event is an occasion designed to sell your brand, the table centre is the perfect opportunity. Situated 1m in front of guests’ eyes, there is no better way to get your message across. Most of our lit centrepieces can be branded in various ways or, of course you can even have your own bespoke table art made for your event.

It is always worth considering how your guests will find their seats when they arrive. Traditionally table numbers have been a piece of card in a metal holder. If you are looking to number your tables, then why not do it with style by making it part of the centrepiece design. This can be added in a number of ways depending on your choice of table centre. Or you can choose the Numerator. This is an elegant large lit number design.

Plan carefully. You do not want the lights going out half way through the event. The majority of events will be no longer than 7 hours. This is no problem if you are using centrepieces from a professional hire company. If you do need to turn them on early for photographs or a practice run, then make sure they are all turned off again until your guests arrive.

It sounds obvious, but it really is important to choose your supplier carefully. At Table Art we have very strict policies. We have check systems in place for everything. This includes a battery check system, proper vehicle checks, uniformed professional crew and bespoke flight cases for secure transportation. Each centrepiece must also be checked once fully installed. Experienced crew will know what to look for. For example, ugly fingerprints may only show once the centrepiece has been turned on and the venue lights dimmed.
