On Trend: Long Banqueting Tables
 Have you considered the banquet option? Long banquet tables are perfect for smaller venues, and not only look great, but are ideal for creating a personal and fun atmosphere.Decor by The Pearl Tent CompanyBanquet tables are a treat to decorate, as you can use all different centrepieces at certain points on the table such as candles, flowers, tealights, vases and lanterns.The traditional floor plan at a wedding has the guests at round tables, and a head table for the bride, groom, bridal party and parents. However, with so many couples choosing to forgo the option of a head table recently, some have gone a little further to create a more informal, family-style wedding breakfast by going for banqueting tables.            For a glamorous look, you could have white table cloths, a mix between candelabras and flowers, and pristine white chair covers. A nice way to lay this out for a more formal look is in a slight U-shape with the ‘head table’ (which could be a giant square table) in the centre.Decor by The Pearl Tent CompanyFor a laid-back rustic look, go for parallel tables. You could use all different types of chairs with different colour ribbons on the back and use centrepieces such as old jam jars with wildflowers, pillar candles, fruit bowls and old wine bottles with candles in the neck.The long table option takes a bit more thought and preparation, as hotels or caterers may not have the accessories immediately to hand, but done right, the banquet table will be a great talking point (and talking facility!) of your wedding.The Pearl Tent Company are marquee specialists in East Sussex.Visit our Inspiration pages for even more wonderful ideas!
