Making your Headtable a Work of Art!

It is your special day, and you may have asked 4 close people in your life to stand by you during it, or possibly 20.  No matter what your bridal party count is, there are unique and creative ways to help make your head table the center of attention at your wedding reception.


There is much debate this season about long head tables vs sweetheart tables, and there is one important factor to remember...the decision is YOURS. First you want to decide if you want everyone at your table, or just you and your new husband.  (remember the time spent at the dinner table averages 15-25 minutes out of the reception for the bride and groom).  The most popular trends in head table set ups are:

After you choose your set up, now you must decide on decorating the head table.  You can use the same linens and chairs as your guests, or reverse the colors.  You can work with your florist to build your own arbor or frame the table with an amazing backdrop.




A Design professional in your area, like The Events Company, Syracuse New York, can create a design to meet your vision.   If you wish to incorporate floral, make sure your designer has a great relationship with the florist.
