Mixing Round & Long Tables?

My SIL did mixed tables and it worked out pretty well. The long tables made a sort of perimeter/box around the dining space and the round tables were in the middle.

We have mixed tables- five round tables that will be on the dance floor for dinner and moved after dinner. Plus 12 long rectangular tables around the dance floor. My centerpieces are different for each table, but I think the mix in tables will look more dynamic.

I have personally never been to a wedding where the tables were like this, but I did a quick image search and found this. I think it looks beautiful.

I didnt like the thought of it and went to look at a venue the other day and it looked amazing! mixing it up is great!

We're doing this. Initially I had doubts, but when I saw how the venue set it up, it looked awesome!

We are doing this too! I think it sounds like you have a good plan.

You can do this...no doubt. We've done it, and as long as the garlands relate to the round table centerpieces, it a;; looks coordinated. What greenery and flowers are you using in the centerpieces (typically, it's some form of eucalyptus interspersed with flower heads)? Just use that greenery in stems, put it in a vase with soaked oasis, and insert the same flowers that you used in the garlands (just don't cut the stems off). It's an easy fix.

@angela a, where are those round table ppl going to sit after dinner?? Or am i misunderstanding what you mean?

Op, I don't see a problem w a mix as long as it fits the space well

Mixing table shapes look fantastic! If you're firm on long 8' tables, you can also fit the 9th person at the end of the table or simply sit four on one side of the table. Here are some events that illustrate the combinations of table shapes for reference.

That's the trendy look now, at least around here.

We are doing a mix as well, 2 long tables and 6 round booths. Not my wedding, but this is my venue.

I had a very similar dilemma! I wanted to make my floor plan interesting, with out the tables being too crazy. So I decided to go with X's. This a picture of my floor plan. I will be putting small round tables on the inside of each X for a large Floral arrangements to be while I have eucalyptus garland on the tables.

We are doing this! My coordinator said it's becoming pretty popular. I feel like it helps make the seating chart a bit easier and I like that not all my tables will look exactly the same.

We're doing a mix. Prioritizing the four 10-person tables and filing in with rounds for as many people that we need
