Your head table is one of the most important focal points at your reception. It’s where you and your partner will sit, celebrate, and be the center of attention throughout the evening. Designing it thoughtfully can elevate the entire look of your wedding—especially in a stunning venue like Fleur de Lis Event Center.
Choose the Right Head Table Style
There are different styles of head tables, and the one you choose should match your vision and guest list.
Popular options include:
- Sweetheart Table: Just you and your partner for an intimate setting
- Traditional Head Table: Includes the bridal party seated together
- King’s Table: A long table with family and close friends
Fleur de Lis Event Center’s flexible layout allows you to choose the style that best fits your wedding theme and space.
Make It a Focal Point
Your head table should stand out from the rest of the reception. This is where many key moments happen—speeches, photos, and special interactions.
Ways to highlight your head table:
- Use a unique backdrop or drapery
- Add extra florals or décor
- Elevate it slightly or center it in the room
The elegant ballroom at Fleur de Lis Event Center provides the perfect backdrop to make your head table shine.
Coordinate with Your Overall Theme
Your head table décor should match your wedding theme and color palette to create a cohesive look.
Make sure to align:
- Table linens and runners
- Floral arrangements
- Chair styles and accents
Consistency in design helps create a polished and visually stunning reception.
Keep It Functional and Comfortable
While style is important, comfort and practicality matter too. You’ll be spending a good amount of time at your head table, so it should be easy to access and comfortable.
Consider:
- Enough space for seating and movement
- Clear visibility of guests and key areas
- Easy access for serving food and drinks
A well-planned layout at Fleur de Lis Event Center ensures both elegance and functionality.
Add Personal Touches

- Custom name signs or monograms
- Special décor pieces that tell your story
- Unique table settings just for you
These details make your table feel extra special and memorable.
Position It Strategically
Where your head table is placed can impact the flow of your reception.
It should be:
- Clearly visible to all guests
- Positioned near the dance floor
- Easy for photographers to capture moments
