1. The Circle Surround yourselves with love – literally. Circular seating brings your guests into the heart of the ceremony, creating a warm and intimate atmosphere. It’s perfect for smaller weddings and garden venues.

2. The Crescent A soft semicircle offers the intimacy of circular seating with a slightly more traditional twist. It allows guests to feel close to the action while still facing the couple directly.

3. The Catwalk Aisle Think fashion show, but make it romantic. A central aisle with seating on both sides (and often the ends) lets guests enjoy a more immersive experience and gives your photographer plenty of angles to capture those vows.

4. The Lounge Style Swap out chairs for a mix of sofas, benches, and armchairs. Lounge-style seating is perfect for outdoor ceremonies or marquee weddings where comfort meets cool.

5. The Serpentine Why walk a straight line when you can wind your way to forever? A serpentine aisle with seating that curves creates movement, visual interest, and a sense of drama.
