The Imperiale wedding table
09/07/2024
The Imperiale table has been in great demand in recent years: someone will remember that during the 60s and 70s they were the most used tables, replaced by the famous round tables in the 80s, 90s and early 2000s.
There are many advantages of such a solution.
It is a long rectangular table which has the characteristic of being able to accommodate all the guests together and including the spouses so we will no longer have a separate wedding table. Certainly not all rectangular tables are suitable because they must be of considerable length and depth as it is necessary to have space not only for the diners on both sides but also for the central decorations.
It certainly makes the wedding banquet very scenographic and refined. Its geometry lends itself to photographs with truly captivating perspectives
The Imperiale wedding table has a great visual impact and lends itself to scenographic arrangements. The style is more formal for some tables but can also have a simple, natural country style even without a tablecloth; there are no major problems with assigning seats and there is no need to go around the tables to thank the guests. The layout of the spaces is easier and more impressive. Parents and witnesses tend to be close to the spouses, the rest of the guests, depending on their rank and kinship, are followed by friends and colleagues. We can have Imperial horseshoe tables: it is an excellent solution if there are numerous guests. You can put splendid tablecloths or even runners: tables without anything visible are also in fashion.
Of course, flowers cannot be missing from the table and the size of the table must be kept in mind. They certainly develop like a garland and require a very specific design; the centerpiece in the Imperial table must be well aligned, central, and very tall vases respecting the geometry of the Imperial table, the cascades of flowers are beautiful. Garland-shaped candles and chains of fairy lights are very important.
It is certainly important to leave enough space between diners, it is good to consider the length of the table and its depth so as not to exaggerate with the dimensions of plates and chargers which would end up taking up too much space
