A Few Tips for Your Reception Design

Tired of going to weddings and seeing the same old style of seating - all round tables set in the same pattern?

No need to use the "standard" style anymore. I like to mix things up a bit. Use rounds, squares, rectangles or even ovals. You can also mix small tables with large tables. If you are using a head table for the wedding party, this table should always make a statement by either where it's placed and/or having more elaborate decor.

For larger receptions where some guests will be seated far away from the head table, you could give those tables a more elaborate centerpiece or something that will make them feel special. No one likes to feel they are "lost in the shuffle" so to speak. For those guests whom you know love to dance, seat them closer to the dance floor to get the party started and remember to consider your elderly guests and seat them away from the speakers.

Happy designing!
