The sweetheart table is the focal point of the reception layout. Traditionally, couples share the table with their parents or in-laws. Others include immediate family and their witnesses. But if you prefer to break the mold, you can sit with your closest friends instead.
Many couples now opt for a sweetheart table just for the two of them. It’s a romantic choice and a lovely way to enjoy a little intimacy amidst the celebration—sharing your first words as newlyweds in a moment just for you.
Whatever you decide, one thing is key: your table should be visible to all the guests. It should reflect the overall wedding style while standing out with a distinctive touch—something that clearly marks it as your table, but without going over the top.
Remember, it will be seen by everyone and photographed often. Over-the-top or gaudy decorations are best avoided. All you need are a few elegant details to make it truly special.
