Seating ideas for the big day, from Vision Furniture

If you‘ve ever attended a wedding or a large event, then you’ve probably noticed that most seating arrangements tend to look similar. Upon entering the venue you’ll generally find 10 – 20 of the 60” style round tables scattered around the ballroom, with anywhere from 6 – 10 chairs per table.

This is a classic choice and can look fantastic, but what if you want something different?

Maybe you want a huge dining-room-style table that seats 12?

Or how about a square table that seats up to 12 people and is the perfect modern twist on the traditional round table?

Community tables seat 10, and come in a 42” cocktail height, which can really shake up the look of your reception or cocktail hour. Add barstools to create a cool, lounge effect that brings a little edge to your event.

One of the most important steps in creating your seating arrangement is to get an accurate floor plan of your reception space. This will help you experiment with different table sizes and number of guests per table. By mixing and matching options you can figure out what looks best and fits most comfortably in your space.

When it comes down to it, the best thing to do is go with your instincts and do what makes you happy! Maybe a combination of multiple sizes of tables is the fun, sassy look you’re going for. Or maybe you LOVE the traditional round tables. With so many options for not only tables and chairs but also cushions, linens, place settings and centerpieces, you will undoubtedly find the perfect mixture to suit your style
