"Different Types of Main Tables: A Summary of Features, Advantages, and Disadvantages of Each Head Table Style"

We Need to Decide on the Takasago Coordination ♡

The Takasago becomes the main feature of the wedding reception venue. Since it draws the attention of the guests and is the place where many photos are taken, you want to decorate it to your ideal specifications, right?

When it comes to the design of the Takasago, you may focus on what kind of floral arrangements to use, what color tablecloth to choose, and what items to display, but...

Before getting into the specifics of the decorations, there is something more important that must be decided first ♡

There Are Various Types of "Takasago"!

That is, deciding on the "type or category of Takasago."

In previous wedding receptions, the traditional large and heavy table type of Takasago was the norm, but recently, various types of main tables have appeared＊

Since the decoration and coordination can greatly differ depending on the type, it's important to first understand your preference for a Takasago.

Before having a detailed discussion with the florist, let's review what types of main tables are available.

Types of Main Tables for Wedding Receptions ① The Most Classic Takasago ♩

The first one we'll introduce is the traditional large table type of Takasago, which is the most widely adopted in various venues. It's standard to fill the top of the table with flowers ♡

From the front, it looks like the bride and groom are sitting in a flower garden, making it a great photo opportunity.

The bigger the table, the more the floral decoration costs, but that also increases the presence of the Takasago＊

A popular choice is the "Tulle Takasago," which has soft tulle layered over the tablecloth. The ability to stylishly decorate not only the top but also the sides is an attractive feature of the classic Takasago type ◎

Also, since the table is wide, it can comfortably accommodate dishes for the bride and groom.

You can also add lighting such as "actress lights" to illuminate the bride's face from below, as well as photography props and other items for capturing moments＊

Types of Main Tables for Wedding Receptions ② Casual Table Without Tablecloth

In natural venues often used for overseas-style weddings, there are casual Takasago types that do not use tablecloths.

Small wooden tables with stylish leg and side designs are popular ♡

Instead of giving off a "wedding" vibe, it creates a homey atmosphere where you can enjoy a relaxed, natural party.

When using a casual table as a Takasago, it's standard to decorate items behind and beside the table, creating a decorated overall space ♩

You can enjoy a unique coordination using not only flowers and greenery but also stylish interiors.

Types of Main Tables for Wedding Receptions ③ Semicircle Table

There is also the semicircle main table, which looks like a round guest table cut in half. This type of Takasago is often seen in overseas weddings ♩

The advantages of a semicircle table are that it is smaller, which helps reduce floral costs (the floral cost in the pic is 30,000 yen＊), and since the eye level is the same as the guests, it creates a homey atmosphere.

Types of Main Tables for Wedding Receptions ④ Takasago Sofa

Recently, the Takasago sofa, which uses a sofa in place of a main table, has rapidly increased in popularity.

It creates a homey atmosphere as if you are relaxing in a room ♡ Natural floral arrangements full of greenery are popular.

Unlike the table type Takasago, there is nothing to hide the couple's bodies, making them fully visible in photos, which is a charm＊ You can perfectly capture the fluffy skirt in the record ♡

A small low table can be placed in front of the sofa, or side tables can be placed on either side.

Either way, there won't be enough space to serve multiple plates of food, so you should think that you might not have the opportunity to enjoy a leisurely meal during the reception.

Types of Main Tables for Wedding Receptions ⑤ Chair

Finally, the most unusual type introduced is the chair type＊ Instead of a large table, the bride and groom each sit on individual armchairs or dining chairs.

Like the sofa Takasago, even while sitting, the entire dress can be fully visible, which is appealing ♡

Since there is no large table, they can move around easily. This type is recommended for couples who would prefer to greet guests and socialize rather than sit in the Takasago the whole time.

It creates a close, homey atmosphere during the wedding reception ♡

What Type of Takasago Is Ideal? ♩

We have introduced five types of main tables. Even though they are all called "Takasago," the designs and atmospheres can vary greatly. Which type comes closest to your ideal? ♡

Since there are types of Takasago that can be prepared and those that cannot depending on the venue, if you're unsure, it's a good idea to consult with your planner first＊
