Wedding Tip #1: Head Table

For all you up and coming brides, well I'm going to start to sporadically put some wedding tips in here for you. Not that you have to take them by any means, but since I've been to more than I care to count I thought I'd share some of the cool stuff I've seen. Of course they will mostly have a photography... you know how to make your photography better and such. I'd love to hear feedback on the idea also.

Wedding Tip #1: The Head Table

It seems that the norm is to make the head table this really long series of tables on a riser or the floor and push it up against a wall. I don't know about you, but a bridesmaid (BM) at my last wedding mentioned not liking to eat in front of everyone. And me, I just think every one struggles to decorate that space behind the table, and no offense, but it never look really good. So last weekend I saw something I have been waiting a long time to see...

The head table in the middle of the room.

It created a wonderful backdrop for the bride and groom while they listened to the speeches, made them easily accessible to their guests and to my camera. No one was watching them eat and no horrible attempt to decorate the space behind the table. It was a fabulous idea! Here are some of Ellie and Cloud listening at their centrally located head table, with friends and family as the backdrop.

ETA: Heidi and Marty had their head table in the center of the room also, and Hiedi commented that it was a good way for attendats to be able to sit with their spouses instead of sitting all alone. What a fabulous point. Thank you for sharing Heidi.
