Intimate, romantic and made for newlyweds who only have eyes for each other, the sweetheart table is becoming a hugely popular choice amongst marrying couples.
As the ultimate table for two and an alternative to the traditional head table, the sweetheart table offers a charming focal point that simplifies the seating plan no-end! For couples concerned about not spending enough time together on their wedding days, the sweetheart table makes perfect sense too as One Fab Day details:
“The formalities of the long-awaited day mean quality time with your other half to have a natter and a giggle are few and far between the ceremony, photographs and catching up with everyone in between are special moments but they don’t allow for proper one-on-one time. So sitting together to enjoy your wedding meal, looking out at a room full of the people that mean the world to you is a very special and unique opportunity.”
Whether it’s the idea of more intimacy and romance, better photo opportunities, or the chance to focus on each other that’s selling the sweetheart table arrangement to you, you’ll want to check out these sweetheart table ideas for 2024.
A floral extravaganza
For couples tying the knot during high season, letting the beauty of summer inspire you is a must. Summer is all about spending time outdoors and with nature in full bloom, taking your pick of the best in-season flowers is pretty easy to do.
Whether you’re opting for these top colour schemes for summer weddings or transcending the trends, adorning your sweetheart table with lush floral arrangements is a beautiful way to create a romantic and visually stunning centrepiece. Consider a cascading floral runner or a suspended installation for a touch of drama.
Sealed with signage
Personalised signage is always a huge hit at summer weddings, especially if you have your heart set on a rustic, festival theme. Use custom signage to create a unique sweetheart table that reflects you as a couple and give guests an insight into your story so far.
A candlelit ambience
As the sun sets on your summer wedding day, embracing the warm glow of candles will create the cosy, intimate atmosphere sweetheart tables are all about.
While our policy means all naked flames and candles must be fully encased at the sides, with the tip of the flame at least 5cm below the rim of the encasement, using candles can ensure a truly captivating display. Whether relying on encased candles or battery-operated, flameless alternatives, arranging them at varying heights and utilising different styles will only add to that romantic allure.
The eclectic touch
Every wedding day is a celebration of two halves of one couple coming together. With this in mind, letting your individuality shine through is as important as celebrating all the things that brought you both together.
Ditch the traditional matching chairs for an eclectic touch, and add plenty of charm and character to your sweetheart table.
Au naturel
The summer season is the ideal time to take your wedding outdoors. That being said, you have to make the most of every inch of your venue. Bring the outdoors in with a greenery-focused sweetheart table. Lush foliage, potted plants and botanical-inspired backdrops can all be used to infuse natural elegance and create an unforgettable sweetheart table.
