A perfect view is incomplete without a perfect seat to witness it. The same goes with weddings, to make sure your guests witness all magical moments, you need to have a proper seating arrangement for them. Also, the wedding seating arrangement is a major part of the wedding decoration schema, so we have to go for a creative approach as well not just the availability.
Two things to keep in mind while working on seating arrangements for a wedding. The very first is the availability of the appropriate number of seats, second, comes the style of arrangement. For the number of seats, we have to look at the size of the venue and what looks great. For style, we are listing some wedding seating arrangement ideas that are worth a go.
Cinema Style
When talking about the cinema seating arrangement, two things are the major highlight, first the elevation and second the row-wise placing of seats. Here, we have to take the latter portion i.e. row-wise placing of seats.
For Sangeet, garlanding ceremony, or any event which requires the same direction of sight for people, we can choose this seating style. Also, if your guest list is too long and the venue is not that large, you should choose this seating style as it provides you with maximum capacity.
Let me tell you the demerits as well, for your waiters, it is going to be very tough for them. Serving of starters becomes difficult here. Also, when someone wants to leave their seat, the other guests will have to go with minor inconvenience. The view will not be the same for everyone, especially for the last rows.
Proper Theatre Style
Continuing from where we left, this style involves the elevation as well. Step-wise seating arrangement. Not completely but up to some extent, the problems of the previous seating style get reduced here. Major merit is that the last rows will not have any trouble in witnessing the events and also, this seating looks great when compared with the previous one.
The problem that the wedding planners have to face when opting for this style is the implementation. Either they have to go for a venue which already has such arrangements or they have to make one. Time-consuming and effort-taking work!
Conference Style
In major professional events, round table seating arrangements are used. They are placed in a particular pattern or randomly. But never placed close to each other. So the disturbance problem of row-wise seating that arises when someone leaves their seat doesn’t come here. Another great thing about this style is that it gives the guest to interact with each other.
This style is best suited for the reception. Because guests can keep their food on the table, this thing doesn’t apply to cinema style. For proper theatre, we have to leave some space between rows and have to avoid the use of chairs (use a step-wise seating arrangement).
This style gives an extra headache to the decorators as they have to decorate the table as well. One idea from our side is to put some flowers or lighting in a glass bottle.
Bhaithak Style
This is proper Indian-style seating. We are going to use beds or divans (known as Gaddis). The idea is to provide as much comfort as you can with a simple seating arrangement. This style is ideal for sangeet ceremonies or any fun event. A circular pattern is the first choice for this seating style.
The good thing about this style is that it gives the feeling of togetherness, a lot of interaction is there. Comfort is also there. The job of wedding planners becomes much easy with this style.
But you cannot opt for this seating arrangement for major events, and even if you want to have, wedding planners will have to do a lot of creative work for sure.
Final Words
A wedding is a tiring task for everyone who is involved in it. How much you work doesn’t matter, an in-built fatigue comes automatically. Keeping the decoration and guest perspective aside, it becomes a necessity to have a proper wedding seating arrangement so that the host can also take a breath comfortably.
