Short answer
Keep it clean with a single low vase of seasonal flowers, plain white or linen tablecloths, and a few taper candles. Less is more, so choose one focal point per table.
Simple table decorations are about restraint. Pick one element and let it shine. A single glass vase or ceramic jug with a loose bunch of seasonal flowers works on every table. Keep the height low so guests can talk across the table. Add plain white or ivory tablecloths, or leave wooden tables bare with a simple runner.
For candles, use three or five taper candles in simple holders, or a row of small tea lights in glass votives. You do not need confetti, favours and place cards all at once. Choose two details, such as flowers and candles, and leave the rest clear.
Think about the table shape and size. On a long table, repeat the same arrangement every few seats. On round tables, place one central arrangement and let the edges stay empty. If you want a personal touch, add a single handwritten menu card or a small sprig of rosemary at each place. Simple does not mean plain, it means calm and easy for your guests to enjoy.
