In England a traditional wedding follows a certain pattern. Well in time the decision concerning were the reception is to be held, hall, hotel or house, should be made, the main factor being the number of guests attending. At about the same time catering arrangements should be made.

At a formal reception there should be a welcoming line to receive the guests. This should consist of the bride’s parents, the groom’s parents and the couple themselves, in that order. This applies whether either set of parents is divorced or not, new partners are normally not included. Guests should be greeted by name or by politely asking their name. When necessary the bride and groom introduce each other to the guests when necessary.

The processional order on entering the hall is: bride and groom, bride’s father with groom’s mother, bride’s mother with groom’s father, chief bridesmaid with best man (if he is available), bridesmaids, page boys, ushers and guests. For a formal reception there must be a ‘top table’ for the principal members of the wedding party. Be careful with whom you place at the top table. If one of the non-wedding party guests is placed there it should be someone very special, like an aunt who has flown in from Australia for the occasion. Complications due to parental divorce are easiest solved by talking to all the concerned. The bride and the two mothers usually decide the seating for the other guests. If there is a minister present he or she must be invited to say grace. The correct thing to do is to approach the minister beforehand. If there is no minister present the bride’s father may say grace. The bride and groom are always the first to be served. After the last course is over it is time for the cake-cutting ceremony, the toasts and the speeches. If there is to be dancing, the bride and bridegroom is the first couple out on the floor.

The Top Table Seating Arrangements

The top table should comprise the wedding party only but should you wish any other guests to be seated here they should be seated on either side of the wedding party.

From left to right facing your guests: Chief Bridesmaid, Bridegroom’s Mother, Bride’s Father, Bride, Bridegroom, Bride’s Mother, Bridegroom’s Father and Best Man, it is recommended that you limit your table to 12 people.

The Bride should always be at the left side of the Bridegroom.

Answer 3

The best man and the chief bridesmaid should be on either side of the groom and bride respectively. As for the bridesmaids, you have some room to work with. Some people do it from tallest to shortest for pictures sake but you can do it pretty much anyway you want. If you have a bridesmaid that is from the groom's side of the family with say 2 or 3 other bridesmaids that are from the bride's side, you might want to mix them up so that the one from the groom's side does not feel left out of the conversation.

Answer 4

facing you guest the head table should go the bride and groom in the middle next to the bride the maid of honor, and then the rest of the girls as they walk down the aisle and stood up at the alter with you the same for the guy next to the groom the best man and the the groomsmen in the same order. Hopes this help

Groomsman, Bestman, Groom...Bride, Maid of Honor, bridesmaids...Good Luck...

Answer 6

In technical terms it's fair because they are planning the wedding. It is not unreasonable for attendants to ask the bride if it's possible to sit with their family/spouse instead of the head table. If the couple won't budge, I wouldn't worry about it too much because after people eat they start dancing and moving around anyway. Personally, I dislike head tables for this very reason, but that's just me. I say talk to the bride and go from there. Good luck!

Answer 7

i did a non traditional head table at my wedding. it was myself and my husband (bride and groom) at the head table and then i had each of the bridesmaids (matron of honor too) and groomsmen (best man too) sit at a table with their significant other. that way their date wasn't stuck at a table with people they didn't know. it worked out very nicely. it is called a sweetheart table when you do it that way.
just another option for you.

Answer 8

I can't stand head tables. It always leaves significant others alone and annoyed. Try doing something a little more guest friendly and either having one or two tables with just the wedding parties or simply seat them with the rest of your guests.

Answer 9

If you had a big round table you could all be sitting at the head?

Answer 10

grooms parent on one and brides on other side.
