Dear Bride,
I recently shot a wedding where the bride and groom decided to forfeit the sweetheart table and I had an “ahha” moment. They were seated at the parents table with nothing differentiating them from the guests.
As a photographer, it is wonderful to capture the small details on the sweetheart table that distinguish the bride and groom from the guests. In this wedding, the bride and groom went all out in decorating every table, creating an elegant and visually pleasing atmosphere in the entire room.
Do not let anyone convince you that it’s “not in style”. No it’s not outdated and over rated.
There is an upside to having a bride and grom table: it allows the bride and groom to have some "private moments" during their wedding day experience. Some guests will approach the table but for the most part it is respected as the bride and groom’s private space.
If It’s not an option, then I recommend a head table (rectangle) rather than a round table. This will allow the Bride and Groom to stand out in the center of the table. Chairs only on one side of the table of course allowing photo’s to be taken of the bride and groom unobstructed by other people. You can even add a larger chair for the bride and groom to add a nice “pop” for you and your new hubby!
Have fun with it!
Love, Rosina
