Recent Trend: Dinner Party Style Using a Buffet Table ♡ What Is It Really Like? A Collection of Overhead Images＊

It Seems Like Dinner Party Style Is Increasing＊

A Dinner Party Style That Is Standard Overseas.

Instead of seating guests at round tables grouped by their affiliations, this style connects long tables to create a series of lined seating arrangements where everyone sits at the same table.＊

It has a luxurious foreign feel, reminiscent of a Harry Potter meal scene, where you can almost hear the joyful chatter and laughter＊

It is also called a "long table" style, and it seems to be increasing in popularity lately. However, it cannot be done without long tables (it cannot be done in wedding venues with only round tables), so those who are very keen on this style will need to confirm this before signing a contract.

In this article, we will introduce the merits and demerits of dinner party style as well as styling examples, along with clear photos that show "this is what it would be like if we were to have a dinner party style!"♩

Advantages and Disadvantages of Dinner Party Style♡

The advantages of holding a reception with tables arranged in a dinner party style are:

☑︎ Guests are closer to each other than at round tables.

☑︎ Groups can have other guests sitting at the same table to chat with.

☑︎ There’s no feeling of isolation for guests attending alone.

And so on.

The uniform direction that guests face, compared to round tables, creates a sense of unity. A "reverse toast shot," featuring the newlyweds in the background with guests in the foreground, is a unique composition made possible by the dinner party style.

A reception that mixes long tables and round tables is also possible＊

So, what are the disadvantages of dinner party style???

Upon reflection:

☑︎ If the venue is small and the distance between tables is close, those sitting in the middle might find it inconvenient to stand up.

☑︎ If the tables are small, floral arrangements can easily obstruct guests (obstructing plates and glasses).

☑︎ It's difficult to gather groups together for photographs.

☑︎ If there are few decorations, it can look sparse.

These are some considerations.

How to Style Floral Arrangements for a Dinner Party Style Reception?

The floral arrangements for guest tables in a long table setup should emphasize the "line" aspect, creating a "straight" appearance that is its charm♡

For instance, placing the same flowers in a row.

Changing colors to create a gradient with the same flowers could be another option.

Arranging tall stands at equal intervals.

Spreading table runners extensively.

Using greens as a table runner is also a classic choice♩

Floral arrangements that evoke a "line" feeling are distinctive to the dinner party style coordination♡

A Full View of Blooms from the Side♡

When taking a photo of a reception venue in dinner party style, lining up the flowers at the same height creates a scene reminiscent of a flower field when viewed from the side♡

This scene is made possible as it allows for "displaying a multitude of flowers in a row," which cannot be achieved with round tables.

What Other Coordinations Are There?

☑︎ Table floral arrangements lined up with candles♡

☑︎ Placing perfectly round baby’s breath balls on stands♡

☑︎ Arranging small bottles in floral arrangements♡

☑︎ Coordinating with two height levels on stands and tables♡

Dreaming of Long Tables♡

The lively, fun party atmosphere of a dinner party style reception reminiscent of overseas celebrations.

The fact that "guests' backs are absolutely not visible" when the newlyweds are at the front is also an attractive aspect.

If I ever have another wedding, I’d definitely want to have a "dinner party style reception!"♡
