Your wedding is a celebration! And the reception is where it gets warm, fun, and lively. You’ve brought all these people in your life together to celebrate, so here’s a hot new idea to make that reception extra-memorable, courtesy of the experts at Birkat Elyon, where you’ll find the most gorgeous cubic zirconia wedding rings.
It’s called the “banquet table,” and it’s a thing now for the trendiest wedding receptions. There are some very good reasons why more couples are opting for it. First off, having everyone seated at one long table feels much more intimate, allowing guests to more easily swap memories and stories about the happy couple. It’s a great way to allow guests who are meeting for the first time – or haven’t seen each other in a while– to interact more easily than if they were stashed at smaller tables.
You have lots of cool style options using a banquet table. One example: an elegant runner –even two or three (can’t pull that one off with the usual round tables). Add in candle after candle (or even several candelabra) running down the length of it, and your guests will be wowed. Some brides even arrange their banquet tables in a gently curving formation that looks like a winding river.
Wedding stylists note that banquet tables offer a unique canvas that can look super-interesting with colored linens (versus neutral tones), and eye-popping jewel tones. Coordinate the glassware and candles, and your reception table will be Instagram or Pinterest-worthy. Of course, a plain, rustic wooden banquet table adds a cozy, warm feel, especially if your reception is in a backyard or rural setting.
Long tables allow you to get creative with centerpieces and floral accents. Imagine it adorned with garlands and tons of greenery. Unlike small, round tables, your design options are endless! And you can always duplicate these ideas with shorter banquet tables.
Because Birkat Elyon will save you money with their affordable (and beautiful) CZ engagement and wedding rings, you’ll have that much more to splurge with on your reception.
