Your Table Plan Dilemmas Sorted….by Colour

Having problems seating all those awkward family members and friends at your wedding reception? Who will sit together? Does the table have the right balance? Questions that anyone who has ever organised a wedding will no doubt have asked.

Fear not, the answer may have been staring you in the face. I’m talking colours of course, and to help, try using this great colour planner. Simply fit each of your guests into one of the colour categories to create harmony on your most special of days.

White – Guests in this category are optimistic with pure intentions. This is why white is such a popular wedding dress colour as it symbolises everything which is good whilst bringing people together. White is really an amalgamation of the entire spectrum of colours and is at the centre of any colour chart, therefore you should use white category guests as people who will bring a table together.

Ivory – Is symbolic of intelligence and seclusion (as in Ivory Towers). Ivory Guests should be seated at tables where they can go about their intellectual pursuits in seclusion without bothering less high-brow guests. This maybe at first seem difficult, after all it is the most social of gatherings. On reflection try placing them close to white category guests who will help to draw them out a little.

Red – Guests who are strong willed and even a little courageous could well have red personalities. Two unrelated reds seated in close proximity is never a good idea as a clash of wills could almost certainly ensue. For a contrasting table put them with green guests or for a more complimentary table lilac or orange guests would be a great combination.

Lilac – Is symbolic of being spiritually balanced. Ideally your guest will be contented with himself and his immediate surroundings and because lilac also symbolises new love your guest will also be enjoying a blossoming relationship so a partner will need to be close by. Compliment lilac guests by placing them with green guests.

Green – Symbolises a generous and practical person, realistically these guests are hard to find so use them sparingly. Generous guests are always appreciated but with a practical side you may find they have the confidence to head the table. Greens compliment orange guests and you could mix with a couple of red guests for a little added spice.

Orange – Any guests falling into the orange category (which is symbolised by a joyful and sociable manner) should be placed on tables where there may be concern over an adequate flow of conversation. Your orange guest will be able to raise a laugh around the table. Any red guests in close proximity will provide a joyous and raucous atmosphere.

Pink – Is a colour which symbolises positive energy, love, compassion and friendship. Pink guests are very good at mediation and provide a great balance between red and green guests.

Black – ‘The Protector’ will make sure guests on other tables don’t make any attempt to steal wine, wedding favours or other treats from their table! A pink guest on this table may help calm things down.

Gold – Has always been a symbol of strength, and this strength derives from power, wealth and a vibrant personality. Any guest who falls into this category will be successful with a big personality. Be careful when placing these people next to white category or pink guests as they just don’t go!

Silver – Guests who have both a spiritual and a healing personality need only apply! Silver category guest can be wise, calming and talismanic - just make sure all the guests on the same table are ready to hear these words of wisdom.
