Head Table

The best part about planning your wedding is that is allows you to incorporate your style and personality into all aspects of the design. One of the apects to consider when designing your reception is your head table. There are many ways to display your style and creativity-- starting with the shape of your head table!

There are many shapes for a head table to choose from. From the traditional head table with the wedding party seated on one side to a sweet heart table which allows the husband and wife to share their meal alone. You can raise your head table for a better view of your guests or be seated in the center of all-- the possibilities are endless. So why settle for similarity when you can set your head table apart from the others?

Try a "Captain's Table", which is a rectagular table with the wedding party seated on both sides. That way you and your groom can comfortably share a meal and conversation with your wedding party. It's different and claims distinction.

Don't know what to do for a favor? Take a look around your house. Little ideas such as magnets on a refigorator can be transformed into a fun favor for your guests to enjoy. Magnetic poetry is a creative gift that allows your guests to excersie their own creativity!

Check out this artichoke napkin! It adds a little pizazz to your table and the raised look provides more demension to your look. This style also allows numeours options-- such as a flower in the center to hold the place card (as seen in picture) or by placing tea lights within each fold to brighten this arrangement!

Not a bow or shash person? Try a rosette on the back of your chairs! It's simple, yet elegant. Classy and creative! This style attracts the eye and ties your headtable look all togther (no pun intended).

Whatever style you choose for your head table be sure that it reflects you and your personality!
