Tableau Mariage

Having chosen the wedding dress and defined the location, all that remains is to give vent to creativity and surprise guests with an original tableau de mariage! But what is a tableau de mariage?

The tableau mariage, for those who don’t know it is a real map of the tables and will help you organize the location of your guests during the wedding reception. It is generally composed of a series of numbered objects, as many as tables. Each object, postcard, picture represents a table and displays the list of people who will be seated at that table. 

Unmissable, especially if there are many guests, it should generally be placed at the entrance of the hall, or in a side of the garden if you are outdoors, where the wedding reception will take place, in a rather visible way so that it is easy to consult and welcome guests. For the preparation of the tableau there are no precise rules to consider, rather some advice and precautions to follow, such as:

1– Remember to notify the catering the organization of the tables at least 15 days before the event
2– Unite families with children in the same table
3– Unite in the same table all singles or people who already know each other a little.

STYLE

The tableau de mariage as well as many other elements that create the setting and the environment of a wedding should be made in accordance with the codes, colors and style that you have chosen for the celebration of the wedding (stationery, floral decorations, confetti…).

Once clear the framework in which to incorporate the tableau you will pass, through your wedding planner, to the study of materials, textures and dimensions, in other words you will begin to design it.

And what about the table’s name?

The answer is simpler than you think. The tableau, like so many other elements of decoration, is about you and your story. So let the memories, the anecdotes, the little names come out and use them to write another piece of your life together.
