Why Choose Rounds?

Decoding The Table
Why choose round wedding tables?  There's a reason why we all love rounds (aside from the conversational benefits).  Circles don't follow any rules and they mesh with any scenario.  A trick:  Mix up the sizes!  Add more visual interest and include 60" and 72" round tables.

1.  THINK IN THREES - It's easy to commit to one arrangement but why not have three?  Group arrangements of similar colors and sizes in the center.

2.  INVITE AN ACCENT - Too much white tends to get boring.  Disperse a metalic, like gold in specific areas.  Get the job done with chairs, chargers and a hint on your favors.

3.  SMALL STUFF - Subtle details often make a prettier presentation and your guests will take note. 

4.  SHAPE UP - A round table can get a little help from other shapes.  Introduce rectangles or squares to keep things from getting too dull.

5.  LAYER IT - No one ever said that tables need to be done in bright colors.  Bring in texture with a specialty linens such as damask or pintuck.  A great ivory floral or stripe pattern can be beautiful as well.
