I am 99% sure I am doing circle seating for my beach ceremony…I love how it looks in pics I have found and I like that the feel of the ceremony will be more intimate. Additionally, because we are on the beach I think it will be awesome because no matter where people look it will be a pretty view…has anyone done this seating before? If so, what are the cons to it…or what cons can some of you bees think of? Additionally, where should our parents sit? Opposite each other?
My decor person drew up this for me — there will be about 80-90 guests at the ceremony.

I think circle tables take up more space, which shouldn’t a problem where you are. Also, if your centerpeices are really wide or big it might interfere with some guests line of sight. As far as parents… I think my parents are going to sit on my side and FH’s are going to sit on his side. They might want to chat though, so I’m not sold on the idea yet.

Oh – we are DEF using circle tables for the reception — but i meant circle seating for the ceremony. I added a pic to help…this is sorta what we are thinking, just on the beach with LOTS of space. 22 chairs would be in each section of chair groupings =)

Oh woah, I totally didn’t catch that! The picture didn’t load before so for some reason I thought you meant circle tables!
I think that is such a great idea! Totally unique and you will literally be surrounded by loved ones.
