Sustainability is becoming a strong focus, with couples seeking eco-friendly options and mindful touches throughout their event, from tabletops and furniture to décor. Consider Maywood Furniture, which

Likewise, tabletop manufacturer Front of the House( FOH) offers collections like Onda— made from recycled PET bottles— and Servewise, its eco-conscious line of disposable and reusable dinnerware, ideal for prefunction spaces, cocktail hours or afterparties.
Personalization also extends to this space. Maywood offers custom features, such as charging capabilities and a dry erase laminate option to its tables, and FOH has custom pieces from engraved logos to color-matched glazes, bringing a couple’ s vision to life.
In terms of design, organic shapes, soft tones and layered textures that feel unique yet timeless are the way to go.
