CUSTOMIZING YOUR HEAD TABLE DESIGN

Picture you and your partner as a beautiful painting. How would you treat an exquisite piece of art? You would most likely select a beautiful frame which compliments your 'painting', then carefully display it for friends and family to appreciate. 

A gorgeous head table is a key element when planning your design and style.  It is so important to add any details that make this personal.  Fabrics (always different from guests, but complimenting:  runners/overlays/lace/etc.) can distinguish your tables from your guests.  Mirrors can add a heightened ambiance with a feeling of home or modern and clean bases for centrepieces.  Candles generally look best in staggered heights (at least two different).  Small handpicked, unique items (vases for bouquets, unique frames holding your menu [or on each place seating], napkin holders, fine china or unique glassware for you and your attendants).  

The options are endless to create your unique space. Your head table should be what frames the most beautiful people at your wedding. This focal point or the "frame" of your reception should be:

1. Consistent with your theme (modern, vintage, traditional, etc.)

2. Be different from guest tablescapes, to add extra detail your space

3. Tie in the theme of your bouquets (generally displayed here)

4. Have a use of eclectic unique items

5. Be the main focal attraction of your room

6. Work in conjunction to balance the height and size of your backdrop (higher backdrop = complimenting higher features, shorter ceilings = longer and fuller table, etc.)

There is much to consider, and who doesn't want to make an impact? All of the above and much more we take into consideration when determining your personal vision and element of decor. Feel free to customize your head table... The possibilities are endless!
