What is a Sweetheart Table? 

If you are looking for sweetheart table ideas for your big day, we have a few to inspire you below.

 A sweetheart table is a small table set up for just the bride and groom at the wedding reception.

This is usually popular with couples that might not have picked a wedding party yet or want to be alone during the reception.

And even if you do have a wedding party, you do need to have the entire party sit with you.

If money is tight, I suggest spending money on focal points of your wedding and make those the wow factor. 

This is where a sweetheart table comes into play. 

You can really decorate this table, the cake table, candy buffet and keep the rest of the other decor simple but elegant. 

Decorate the table with personalized elements that are special to you as a couple, or choose an amazing floral arrangement that is different from your other guest tables.

Sweetheart Table Vs Head table? 

Not sure if you want to have a romantic table for two or a head table? The Head table is a wedding table that includes your wedding party as well the couple.

Most head tables go as far as including parents of both couples.

But a sweetheart table is an intimate table reserved just for the bride and groom.

The choice will ultimately be up to you as you decide 

If you want to share the table with your very close members, then opt for a sweetheart table, if you prefer to only spend time with your newlywed partner, then definitely opt for a sweetheart table!

Romantic sweetheart table ideas for your wedding

Here are a few stunning reasons to have a sweetheart table for your wedding this year.

The first and most popular reason brides choose to have a sweetheart table is because it provides an intimate feel between you and your recently married spouse.

Another popular reason for opting for a sweetheart table instead of a full-on head table is usually because the couples have not picked a wedding party. 

If you are on a wedding budget going all out on the sweetheart table will help you save money.

You can concentrate on one focal point and keep the rest of the wedding decor simple.
