20 Beautiful Sweetheart Table Ideas Any Couple Would Love Find inspiration for your sweetheart table from these ideas from real weddings. Close Credit: Blue Rose Photography Opting for a sweetheart table at your wedding reception is an easy way to carve out alone time with your new spouse. Unlike a banquet-style or large round table, a sweetheart setup gives the couple of the hour some privacy during what can truly feel like a whirlwind event. When designing your sweetheart table, consider your wedding's aesthetic and venue. Ultimately, there are so many ways to make your sweetheart table your own. Consider sitting at a unique antique table, add in over-the-top blooms, or surround the station with stylish chairs—all will enhance your dining experience (and your reception's overall appearance, too!). Ahead, gather inspiration for your big day with our roundup of sweetheart table ideas from real weddings. 01 of 20 Wooden Structure Credit: Amy and Jordan Photography Looking to upgrade your sweetheart table with something other than tabletop décor?
