Wedding tables aren’t just somewhere to park your guests while the band warms up. They’re the stage for your styling, the backdrop for endless photos, and the place where most of your party actually happens. If you’re hiring tables, the way you configure them can make your reception feel chic, chaotic, or downright legendary. At Hire It, we’re all about helping couples ditch the boring and design a layout that’s stylish, functional, and dripping with personality. Here’s how to pull it off.

Before you fall in love with a Pinterest-perfect setup, take a proper look at your venue. A long, narrow space? Banquet tables will look incredible. A boxy ballroom? Round tables can soften the edges. Whatever you do, don’t forget the flow. Guests and staff need space to glide around without playing musical chairs every time they move.

Round tables are classic and cosy, trestles scream feasting and family, and square tables are bold and modern. Want something that feels fresh? Mix them up. A few rounds paired with a row of banquets can create a layered, editorial feel that looks straight out of a magazine shoot.

The couple’s table should own the room. Place it where everyone naturally looks, and give it some drama. Statement chairs, a bold backdrop, or even a table shape that stands out from the rest will make sure you’re the stars of the show. Remember, your guests want to see you laugh, toast, and dance, not lose you behind a sea of florals.

Style is everything, but no one remembers a wedding where they couldn’t move their elbows. Keep tables roomy enough for easy dining and conversation. Seat talkative friends together, give Nan a spot away from the speakers, and keep your rowdiest mates right by the dance floor. Thoughtful table planning equals happy guests and better party vibes.

Your layout sets the tone, but styling is where you crank it up. Keep your scheme consistent, then add one or two high-impact details. Think oversized centrepieces, sculptural table legs, or velvet chairs that scream luxury. Subtle doesn’t always cut it. A little drama goes a long way, and that’s where Hire It’s collection comes in hot.

Tables are more than flat surfaces. They’re where the magic unfolds. Nail your configuration and your reception will feel effortless, intentional, and totally unforgettable. At Hire It, we don’t do bland. We do bold, beautiful, and a little bit rebellious. So if you’re ready to kick boring to the curb and style a wedding that turns heads, we’ve got the furniture to make it happen.

Explore the collection, find your statement pieces, and let’s give your wedding tables the edge they deserve.
