Head Table 101

admin — Mon, 12 Aug 2013 04:35:54 +0000

A seating chart at your actual wedding ceremony isn’t always necessary, traditionally all of the members attending in support of the bride sit on one side and the members attending to support the groom are on the other side. Many couples have chosen to abandon this tradition, as they believe that through their union, everyone is family so there shouldn’t be a seating plan.

Now, putting together a seating arrangement for the reception is a whole other ball game. Does the happily married couple prefer a sweetheart table, or would they rather be surrounded by their bridal party, or their family? Any of the following options is acceptable, but which one is right for your friends and family?

Here is a guide to few options to consider, from the clever team at Simply Bridal. Thumbnail image by Greg Gardner Photography.

Flowery Speech

Some brides pick their flowers by colours, others by scent, but if you’re a poet at heart, choose your flowers by meaning. Build your bouquets and centrepieces into a love letter to your fiance, your friends and family. The universal symbol for romance is a red rose, but in actuality, they symbolise passion, along with carnations, coral roses and tulips, according to our blog contributor today, Simply Bridal. So many pretty flowers, so much to learn!

The beautiful bouquet in the thumbnail image above is by Sunshine Coast wedding florist, Twig & Blossom.

Sure, you might have considered throwing a couple of Panadol, bandaids and your lippie in your bridesmaid’s purse to keep close by on your Sunshine Coast wedding day for just incasies. However, have you thought about hem tape in case your dress hem is caught on something? Or static spray in the event that you end up with an unintended bustle at your butt? Superglue for broken heels? What about spare earring backs? Eyedrops? No, we hadn’t either!

Simply Bridal have come to the rescue with this awesome checklist for your own wedding day emergency kit… Now it may not all fit inside your clutch, but it just might be worth stashing an inconspicuous kit somewhere handy on your wedding day. I mean, the last thing you want is to be stranded without clear nail polish if you get a run in your panty hose on your wedding day!
