Hi Ladies. New to these boards, and they are so helpful!
I've decided to set up our wedding reception with long tables (set up in a sort of horseshoe). We have only about 40 guests, and by using 6 tables we can get everyone in, as long as we seat people along both sides (so, along the inside of the U also). I saw this recently at a rehearsal dinner, and there was definiely sufficient space inside the U for people to get in and out.
My only question is about the flowers. For 10-top rounds, I've seen enough to know exactly how it would look. But I'm not sure how large/small the centerpieces should be for this long-horseshoe set up. My florist recommends much smaller vases (4-6 inches in circumference), and about 3-4 per table... this would be one centerpiece in front of each guest, basically. Can I cut this, or is that about right??
If anyone has photos, I'd love to see them!!
