Long vs Round Tables

Long tables would have been my choice... but with the amount of guests... wouldnt fit properly, so i had to go with round, i love the look of long tables, so classy

I was trying to do long tables originally but I would've had to rent them since my venue only came with round tables. They give more of a family dinner feel but you do end up paying more to decorate them. Also keep the layout of your room in mind. Another reason we decided to (grudgingly) go with the rounds is that the long ones would've made people have to walk ALL the way around the table to get to the bathroom, buffet, etc. If you're in a big open space then it shouldn't be a problem though.

I had to go with the long tables, but would've prefered the round tables as I think they give the place a more intimate feel. As long as there are tables, I do not mind lol

I'm going with round tables for everyone but I might use a long one for the bridal party, no sure yet

I was going with round, but you gave me some inspirations lol...my venue have both so I can switch! I was only using long for wedding party, food, candy bar, and gifts. But I am now looking at wedding lay outs.

I am doing both round and long

I am going with the long tables. I like the look of the long tables better, which is probably a good thing because thats all we could use with our venue! Everyone will be at tables of 10 people and we will be at our own square table (sweetheart table)!

I am doing long for the wedding guests - then I am going to sit my wedding party (and their guests) in the middle at round tables with FH and I at a smaller round sweetheart.

I feel like round tables are more elegant, so we're trying really hard to keep the guest count low so we can use them. Our venue can fit more people at long tables than it can at round. Right now, we're planning on having 8 long tables and 20 round tables, which I think will look pretty neat.

I'm doing round tables, with a large rectangular harvest table set up for the wedding party (pretty much exactly like your third picture

We are doing long tables. Our head table and cake tables will be round but that is it. We went with long tables because they are free for us to rent.

We had long tables. Now to increase the space for centerpieces we actually butted up 2 long tables to make almost a square table. So one 8' table can only 10 people, but when you butt 2 8' table together it can hold 12, which isn't that much more, but people also have a lot more room. That's what we did.
