5 Unique Seating Ideas for Small Weddings
A huge benefit of having a small wedding is the opportunity to get super creative with guest seating. Typically not possible for traditional size weddings with several dozen in attendance, these unique chairs, ottomans, benches, and accompanying decor really shine in small amounts. Creativity isn’t just limited to chair style, you can also have fun with your seating arrangement when having a super small wedding. We’ve gathered 5 of our favorite ideas from across the interwebs to provide all kinds of seating inspiration for anyone putting together a small wedding of their own!
1. Angled Aisle Seating
Angled seating gives more room for guests if your space is longer than wide.
2. Shaped Ottomans
Lean into solutions only feasible for small groups such as shaped ottomans lined in the back with flowers. This is a cozy & beautiful setting not possible for a larger wedding.
3. Mix & Match Seating
Mix & match chairs is another fun seating solution that works best for small affairs. Mix in your own chairs from home for a budget friendly solution or find a set or two from a local thrift store. Mix in with the standard folding chairs included with most venues & you have a look that’s completely unique to you!
4. Unique Matching Chairs
All matching special chairs work wonderfully for a small group of seating where typically they might be too much when displayed in dozens for larger events. Chairs like these feel substantial and elevate the elegance & wow factor for a small affair.
5. Semi Circle Seating
When you have a small group, it gives you the freedom to get creative with your setup! This semi circle seating around the altar makes for a beautifully intimate ceremony. Plus the epic flower arrangements on the back of each chair put this seating over the top!
