As a designer, we always try to create a focal piece in the reception area. It really helps to create a wow factor and draws the eye, allowing you to keep other tables more understated. A great place to do this is with the head table, where the bride, groom, and the rest of the bridal party are sitting. Since these are the VIP members of the wedding, it makes sense to make their table the center of the room, and really focus on design elements here. You can opt to shine a spotlight on lighting, flowers, rentals, or all three! If you love a specific type of chair or custom linen, but can’t fit it into the budget to have them at all of the guest tables, this is the perfect place to incorporate them! We’ve rounded up some of our favorite head table installations below to provide some inspiration, the options are truly endless!
