Seating and Greeting

Hello to our Pink Flamingo followers!

For some brides and grooms, where to seat  guests can make the thought of the wedding day a bit of a worry...have no fear, here we will give you a few pointers on how to make your day work for you.

There are different types of table format, which will set the tone of your day, most of the feel of the day will be defined by the style of your top table. 

1- The traditional top table: the traditional top table is a long table that surveys the rest of the room with an order that follows left to right; Brides Mother, Brides Father, Bride, Groom, Grooms Mother, Father of the groom; bridesmaids and groomsmen may be included at both ends dependant on the number of places.

2- A non-traditional top table: a table that matches the shape of the rest of the tables in the room which seats all brides and grooms parents, bridesmaids and best-men.

Another  element to consider is the shape of your tables, they may effect your theme and also the way your guests can chat.

3- Round tables are perfect for chatting across the table, they have a feel of sophistication and lend themselves perfectly to table service.

4-Long tables are perfect for a more informal couple, they are perfect for food sharing and will automatically make everyone at feel relaxed.

Happy seating and greeting everyone!
