If you're looking for a way to make your bridal party feel extra special and create a SHOW-STOPPING centerpiece, consider having an estate table. Here are some reasons why an estate table might be the perfect addition to your big day:

✨Keeps your closets loved ones together✨
An Estate Table brings you and your bridal party together for the reception, allowing you to share the experience with your closest friends and family. It creates a sense of togetherness, keeping the people who have supported you most by your side.

✨Creates a Stunning Visual Element✨
An estate table makes for a breathtaking centerpiece in your reception space. with everyone seated together, the long table allows for lush floral arrangements, candles, and personalized details that set the tone for your wedding's decor.

✨Encourages lively Conversation✨
With your whole bridal party seated at one table, it encourages group conversations and interactions, ensuring the energy stays fun and engaging throughout the reception.

Why choose a Sweetheart Table for your Wedding? 🫶🥂
When it comes to planning your wedding reception, choosing the right seating arrangement is key! One option that many couple's love is the Sweetheart Table. This intimate seating arrangement, where just the newlyweds sit together, has become a popular choice-and for good reason! Here are a few reasons why a sweetheart table might be the perfect fit for your special day:

✨More Intimate Time Together! ✨
Your wedding day can be a whirlwind! A sweetheart table allows you to carve out a little more private time with your new spouse, giving you a chance to share moments, conversations, and memories together amidst the celebration.

✨A focal point for the reception! ✨
A sweetheart table naturally draws the eye, making you the center of attention. It can be beautifully decorated, as shown in the photo shared. This will create a stunning visual element that highlights the newlyweds.

✨Easier Interaction with guests!✨
Sitting separately from your bridal party means you have more flexibility to interact with all your guests. With a sweetheart table, you can easily get up to visit family and friends at other tables throughout the night without feeling tied to a large head table.

Do you prefer a sweetheart table or estate table?

"And at last I see the light
And it's like the fog has lifted
And at last I see the light
And it's like the sky is new
And it's warm and real and bright
And the world has somehow shifted
All at once everything looks different
Now that I see you" 💞

CONGRATULATIONS TO MR. AND MRS. WIGLEY!
We loved your fairytale ceremony and wish you a lifetime of
laughter with your happily ever after! 👸🏻🤴🏻
