Headtables - Thinking outside the tradition

As you all know, I’m steering away from tradition and have chosen two maids of honours for my wedding rather than one. I have the mindset that leaving someone out of the picture of importance is ridiculous and because it’s my day, it’s my way.

Well the same mentality goes for the head table. I have been a bridesmaid several times, and sitting up on that ’stage’ eating in front of everyone, all the while watching my date trying to mingle with the other guests has really been annoying. So when I was proposed to, one of the first things I thought about was changing the headtable though process. This to me meant making sure everyone in my wedding party have a great time. This day, afterall, is supposed to be a big party to celebrate. Why leave anyone out?

After much thought and a couple of meetings with my decorator, my fiance and I have settled on a seating plan for the head table. Don’t get me wrong, I thought this part of the planning process was going to be more stressful than the seating plan (which I’m procrastinating on). Finally however, the plan is set.

What we’ll have is a ’sweetheart’ table in the centre where my fiance and I will sit. The table at our particular hall is actually a semi circle made for two. Then on my side will be a large round table which will seat my bridesmaids and their dates. In this case there are four bridesmaids and four dates. On my fiance’s side will be a big round table of the groomsmen and their dates.

Should work out perfectly (I hope). I am very proud of this idea! Who know, maybe this trend will continue:)
