Round tables or rectangle?

Lyndsey, on August 4, 2019 at 1:59 PM Posted in Wedding Reception 0 30

I like how rectangle tables look with runners down the middle, but people can talk easier at round tables. What do you all say???

    Round tables are also easier to set up and move around.

    I personally like round tables because they're more aesthetically pleasing most of the time!

    I prefer rectangular but our venue came with round. So that's what we've got.

    We’re using rectangular tables. Only because our venue is providing us with them.

    I love round just because there are a lot of really fun ways to decorate them, but I do definitely love runners as well!!

    I like round tables. And you can use table runners with rounds as well. Not my preference, but I see it done very nicely a lot.

    I like rectangle tables and actually think it is easier to talk to more people at them than the round tables. At the rectangle table, the guest can speak to each person on both sides of them as well as the people across from them. Whereas, at round tables the guest can't really speak to the people across from them because the diameter of the circle makes them too far away. We had rectangle tables at our wedding.

    We're actually going with both, but I like how more people can interact at a round table.

    I like rectangle but for our venue we needed round to designate the dance floor space. The venue has hardwood floors(no rented dance floor) and we’re putting the tables in a circle around it.

    I prefer round tables over rectangular tables. We are having round tables and putting runners down the middle. Rectangular tables always seem to remind me of cafeterias 🤷‍♀️

    I love the look of long tables! At round tables you don't get to talk to everyone anyway so it's been about the same for weddings I've been to with long and round tables. Just depends on the look you're going for

    I'd most definitely prefer rectangular tables. They're my personal favorite for weddings. No matter how inconvenient they can be sometimes. . .
