Tenuta Tresca

Tables are a fundamental element of the wedding reception, not only for their practical function of hosting guests, but also for the aesthetic impact they have on the overall atmosphere of the event.

The choice of wedding table arrangement, composition and set-up is therefore crucial to create an elegant, harmonious and welcoming ambience.

Wedding tables: shapes and sizes

The first choice to make concerns the shape of the tables. The most common are round tables, which encourage conversation among guests and create a convivial atmosphere. Oval tables are an interesting alternative, especially for large rooms, while rectangular tables may be more practical in smaller rooms.

The size of the tables depends on the number of guests and the space available in the venue.

But Tenuta Tresca will know how to astound you, discover our proposals.

Tableware should be elegant and refined, while decorations can be customised with the bride and groom’s name, the wedding date or other significant details.

• Attention to detail: Every detail, even the smallest, contributes to the overall elegance of the set-up.

Wedding tables: answering some questions.

What to name the tables at a wedding?

Choosing the right name for a wedding table can be a fun and creative way to make your reception even more special. Here are some ideas for original and personalised names:

Names based on the wedding theme:

If your wedding has a particular theme, you can choose table names that echo it. For example, if the theme is travel, you can use names of cities, countries or continents. If the theme is the sea, you can use names of fish, starfish or shells.

Names inspired by love:

Love is at the heart of every wedding, so why not use table names that celebrate it? You can choose names such as ‘Love’, ‘Passion’, ‘Eternity’, ‘Happiness’ or ‘Togetherness’.

Fun and original names:

If you want to add a touch of originality to your reception, you can choose fun and unusual table names. For example, you can use names from films, songs, books or famous people. You can also play with words or create invented names.

Personalised names:

A special idea is to choose table names that have a personal meaning for you, the bride and groom. For example, you can use names of places you have visited together, important dates in your relationship or nicknames you give each other.

Regardless of the names you choose, make sure they are:

A special idea is to choose table names that have a personal meaning for you, the bride and groom. For example, you can use names of places you have visited together, important dates in your relationship or nicknames you give each other.

• Original and personal: Table names should be a way to make your wedding unique and special.

Who sits at the bride and groom’s table?

The seating arrangement at the bride and groom’s table is a matter of tradition and personal preference. In general, there are two schools of thought:

Tradition:

According to tradition, at the bride and groom’s table should sit:

• The bride and groom: The groom sits at the right of the bride.
• The parents of the bride and groom: The mother of the groom sits to the left of the bride, while the father of the groom sits to the right of the groom.
• Wedding witnesses: The witnesses sit opposite the bride and groom, with the bride’s best man to the left of the groom and the groom’s best man to the right of the bride.

Personal preferences:

More and more couples are choosing to arrange the seating at the bride and groom’s table according to their personal preferences. Some alternative ideas include:

• Just the bride and groom: In this case, the bride and groom’s table is more intimate and cosy.
• The bride and groom and witnesses: This option is more informal and allows the bride and groom to spend more time with their closest friends.
• The bride, groom, parents and siblings: This arrangement is ideal for large families who wish to be together during the reception.
• The bride and groom and their most important guests: In this case, the bride and groom choose to seat at their table those guests who mean something special to them.

Regardless of how you choose to arrange the seating at the bride and groom’s table, the important thing is that you feel comfortable and that your day is truly special.

Here are some tips for choosing the seating arrangement at the bride and groom’s table:

• Consider the number of guests: If you have a large number of guests, you may not be able to seat everyone at the bride and groom’s table.
• Think about the type of atmosphere you want to create: If you want an intimate atmosphere, you might choose to sit only with your groomsmen. If you want a more lively atmosphere, you could choose to sit with your parents, siblings or other guests.
• Talk to your partner: It is important that you both agree on the seating arrangement at the bride and groom’s table.
• Don’t worry too much about tradition: The most important thing is that you feel comfortable and that your day is really special.

Arranging parents and important guests at the wedding reception: tips and good rules

Choosing where to seat parents and important guests at a wedding reception is a delicate decision that can influence the atmosphere and the smooth running of the celebration.

There are no rigid, universal rules, but it is important to follow some good rules to ensure that all guests feel comfortable and valued.

Parental positioning:

• Tradition: According to tradition, the bride and groom’s parents sit at the presidential table, a table centrally positioned and clearly visible to all the guests. The mother of the groom usually sits at the head of the table, with the father of the groom to his right. The mother of the bride sits to the left of the father of the groom, with the father of the bride to his left.

• Modernity: Modern couples often choose to customise seating arrangements, according to their preferences and the type of atmosphere they wish to create. In some cases, parents may choose to sit at a table with their children, creating a more intimate, family-like atmosphere. Or, they may decide to sit at separate tables, but still in prominent positions.

Positioning of important guests:

• Balance: It is important to try to distribute important guests evenly among the various tables, avoiding concentrating them in one place. This creates widespread conviviality and prevents some tables from feeling less important than others.
• Proximity to the bride and groom: In general, there is a tendency to seat guests closer to the bride and groom, so as to encourage interaction and conversation. However, it is important to avoid creating a ‘ghetto’ of important guests, which could be exclusionary for other guests.
• Affinities and interests: It is advisable to take guests’ affinities and interests into account when defining their seating arrangements. For example, people who share similar hobbies or passions can be seated together.

Head of the table:

• Chairperson figure: The figure of the Table Chairperson, usually a best man or trusted family member, is in use in some contexts. The chairperson coordinates the toasts and highlights of the reception, helping to create a convivial atmosphere.
• Modernity: In many modern occasions, people choose not to have a chairperson figure, allowing the reception to take place in a more informal and spontaneous manner.

General advice:

• Consider the number of guests: If the number of guests is large, it may be difficult to seat all the important guests next to the bride and groom. In this case, it is still important to make them feel valued and involved in the celebrations.
• Accommodate preferences: It is important to accommodate the preferences of parents and important guests by involving them in the choice of seating arrangements.
• Ensure harmony: The main objective is to create a harmonious and convivial atmosphere, where all guests feel comfortable and can enjoy the reception.

Remember that there is no universal magic formula. The most important thing is to choose the arrangement that best suits your wedding, your needs and your wishes.
