Get Expert AdviceNo Wedding Party Table at Reception
I am looking at venues for our reception and along with that table set ups. We prefer long tables. I have always loved the idea of not having a wedding party table and sitting amongst our guests. At this stage we are not having a formal wedding party just my nieces and nephews as flower girls and ring bearers. Does anyone have any examples of how couples have done this? Or advice for and against doing this?
Tuggeranong Homestead + Events
Congratulations on your engagement! We are absolutely delighted to assist in making your dreams come true at Tuggeranong Homestead. Our spacious barn allows us to arrange long tables, providing you with the opportunity to be close to your beloved guests.
We have a wealth of creative ideas for you to be seated among your guests, ensuring an intimate and memorable experience here at Tuggeranong Homestead. In the past, our brides have enjoyed adding personal touches, such as ladder-like arrangements of flowers or other decorative elements to indicate their seats.
Additionally, you may want to explore the idea of a sweetheart table where you and your new husband can relish each other's company while still being part of the celebration.
Your engagement is a very special time, and we're excited to work with you to create the perfect setting for your wedding day." Warmest regards Gerry and Ann 0419 533 298 info@tuggeranonghomestead.com.au
