Did you know the type of dinner service you choose for your wedding affects your tablescape design? Yup, sure does! Because you can’t have design elements literally getting in the way as your guests are served. And here is some of the advice I give my couples:💫For family style service: Opt for sleek, low-profile centerpieces to ensure easy passing of dishes. Consider narrower table runners or small votives and candles that leave plenty of space for serving platters and bowls. It's all about balance; you want your tables to look abundant but not cluttered.
💫For cocktail style service: Your tables can afford to be a bit more lavish with the decor since guests will be served standing away from the table. This is your chance to go bold with taller centerpieces or more elaborate tablescapes. Just ensure there's still enough room for guests to place their plates and glasses without the risk of accidents.
💫For plated meal service: Elegance and simplicity work best here. Since plates will be brought directly to guests, ensure there's ample space around each setting for multiple courses and glassware. Consider delicate floral arrangements and candles that don't obstruct views across the table, fostering a warm, intimate atmosphere.
