Serpentine Wedding Tables

Serpentine tables are most commonly used for buffet and open bar displays at weddings. However, they can be used sparingly as part of your wedding design for seating.

If you choose to use serpentine tables for seating your wedding guests, I strongly suggest that you apply the “less is more” approach. In other words, it’s is not a good idea logistically speaking to use solely serpentine tables, especially if you do not have adequate space.

Even more, your event design will look better if you mix in different tables. In essence, serpentine guest tables should only be used as a focal point to create some contrast and interest inside your event space. It should not take up the entire space.

Of course, serpentine tables work very well for head tables and you can shape them a number of ways, including arranging them into semi-circle guest tables.
