WEDDING TABLE GUIDE: SWEETHEART TABLE AND ITS 5 ALTERNATIVES [TYPES, SIZES &
SEATING CAPACITY]

 * Post author By Jane Woods
 * Post date September 6, 2021



When planning a wedding party, you might want to get a sweetheart table. This
decor element never goes out of fashion and easily fits interiors of any style,
be it an old barn or a modern loft. 

From this article, you will get to know how big a sweetheart table is and why so
many couples like it so much. 


WHAT IS A SWEETHEART TABLE?

A sweetheart table is a wedding bridal table where only the newlywed couple
seats. All the guests of the ceremony can be seated at one big table or around
several smaller ones. But the bride and the groom might want to enjoy greater
privacy and get a small table just for the two of them. 

They can place their table in the center of the room so that everyone can see
them. Otherwise, they might put it in a beautifully decorated corner where the
waiters won’t disturb them too frequently. Both options will look incredibly
sweet and romantic.

The only shortcoming of such an approach to wedding design is that it prevents
the newlywed from joining the general conversation. Some couples might prefer to
stay together with the attendants. In all the other aspects, that would be a
superb design solution for your big day!


SWEETHEART TABLE SIZES AND SHAPES

To learn the size of a table, you should specify its shape. 


 * ROUND

 * 

Usually, the size of the sweetheart table is 3ft or 4ft, if it is round. Such a
size guarantees maximum intimacy — but at the same time, you will be able to put
a decor item in the center. 

Photographers adore round-shaped tables because they enable them to create
perfect shots. The bride and the groom look each other in the eyes and there are
no unwanted items in the background. You might want to get such a table only for
the sake of pictures!


 * HALF-MOON-SHAPED

On a half-moon-shaped table, you will have more room for decorations. Besides,
the couple will be facing the guests. The size of such a furniture item is half
5ft round.


 * SQUARE

 * 

The square wedding table size is normally 4ft. You can add two more chairs to it
so that your parents or siblings can join you.


OTHER TYPES OF WEDDING TABLES AND THEIR DIMENSIONS

Don’t forget that couples also need multiple tables for the guests. Let’s talk
briefly about the dimensions and advantages of diverse furniture items, starting
with head tables. 

 * Straight 

This is a highly popular solution for groups of up to 12 people, who will be
seated on one side. Such a piece of furniture should be 2.5’ wide and 24’ long.

 * Two straight ones

The size of each one should be 2.5’ wide and 12’ long. Each item should be able
seat up to 6 people in a straight line. You can place one on either side of your
sweetheart table to add symmetry to the premise.

 * King

If you opt for a piece of furniture that is 5’ wide and 24’ long, it should seat
a maximum of 26 people. It is a relatively new design trend that is rapidly
taking off. Some couples say that it helps them to create a less formal
atmosphere at their events.

 * U-shaped 

Such a piece of furniture can seat up to 16 people. If needed, you can easily
find space for extra seats. This table should be 2.5’ wide and 20’ long, with a
6’x2.5’ banquet table extending forward from either end. Such a shape enables
the guests to see the newlywed very well.

 * Round 

You will probably need to choose from 6’, 5’ or 4’ options. Such furniture items
can comfortably accommodate up to 10, 8 and 5 people, respectively.

 * Banquet 

Now, let’s focus on rectangular tables, known as banquet tables. You can put
buffet lines on them or your guests can leave gifts on them. Plus, you might
need such a table if you invite a DJ. Currently, one of the hot design trends is
combining rectangular banquets with round ones. This adds diversity to the room
and makes it look more Instagrammable. 

 * 6′ banquet 

Usually, it would be 30” wide and 6’ long. Some people call them “90×132”
because the distance from the ground to the surface is 30”. Such a table will
accommodate from 6 to 8 people. Three guests can take a seat on each side plus
one person on each end.

 * 8′ banquet 

These are 30” wide and 8’ long. They are also dubbed as “90×156” — because, as
you might guess, the distance from the ground to the surface is 30”. Here, you
can seat 4 guests on each side plus one on each end (up to 10 people in total).

 * Cocktail tables

Apart from savoring delicious meals, your guests will be sipping cocktails. For
this, they will need cocktail tables. These can be either high or low.

 * High 

Their height is 42” and their diameter is 36”. You can put up to 4 chairs at
such a table — but this is optional. High cocktails tables perfectly double as
cake tables. If you put your cake there, it will become the primary focal point
of the event!

 * Low

Their diameter is just the same, 36”. Their height is 30”. The smallest items
are 30” high and the diameter is 30”. Again, you can seat up to 4 guests here —
or, well, a maximum 5. By the way, such a piece of furniture might easily become
your sweetheart table!

 * Cake Tables

One of the key attractions of the big day is a wedding cake, so dedicate a
special place to showcase it. Cake tables are usually 3ft low round, but there
are no strict rules. Choose the best-fitting size and decorate it with
tablecloth, flowers, candles, etc.


FINAL THOUGHTS

It’s important to know the sizes of the furniture items to plan your decorations
wisely. When booking a venue, discuss with its team in advance where they will
recommend you how to put your wedding tables. Most likely, they will offer you
several stunning decor options for it too. 

A sweetheart table will enable you to take amazing photos and enjoy a bit of
intimacy at an event where (as funny as it might sound!) you will hardly have a
spare minute for each other.

Hopefully, this article came in handy and now you know everything about the
wedding tables.
