Elegant Inspiration from Posh Rentals Ventures
At Nigerian weddings, the head table (also known as the sweetheart or couple’s table) is more than just a place to sit, it’s the most photographed, most admired, and most symbolic corner of the reception. All eyes are on it, especially during the grand entrance, speeches, and cake cutting.
At Posh Rentals Ventures, we’ve styled hundreds of head tables across Lagos, from traditional Yoruba, Igbo, and Edo weddings to modern multicultural ceremonies. Whether your wedding theme is regal, romantic, minimalist, or rooted in cultural flair, the right rentals can transform your head table into a stunning focal point.
Why the Head Table Matters
- It reflects the couple’s personality and theme
- It appears in almost every photo and video
- It anchors the decor — especially in large halls
- It gives the couple their moment of spotlight
Step-by-Step Guide to Styling Your Head Table
1️⃣ Choose Your Seating
At Posh Rentals, we recommend:
🔹 Ghost Chairs
Perfect for minimalist, modern weddings. They allow florals, linen, or lighting behind you to shine through.
✅ Best for: garden weddings, rooftop receptions, and neutral-toned decor.
🔹 Gold Chiavari Chairs
Classic, royal, and versatile — a go-to for traditional and white weddings.
✅ Best for: grand ballrooms, traditional Yoruba or Igbo weddings, and formal receptions.
🔹 Lounge Chairs or Loveseats
For couples who want to sit side-by-side in comfort. We offer tufted white loveseats and high-back statement chairs.
✅ Best for: sweetheart tables with a fairytale or luxury theme.
2️⃣ Layer with Luxurious Linens
Your table covering should match the rest of your reception decor or stand out with contrast.
Popular choices in Nigeria:
- Sequin tablecloths in gold, champagne, rose gold
- Soft velvet for moody elegance
- Ankara or Aso-oke fabric for a cultural twist
We also offer table runners, overlays, and underlays to add extra texture and dimension.
3️⃣ Add Statement Backdrops or Floral Arches
Nothing frames a couple better than a curated backdrop. At Posh Rentals, we offer:
- Floral arches in white, blush, or red
- Greenery backdrops with neon signs
- Traditional fabric drapes and prop pedestals
You can even hang your name, initials, or a wedding hashtag using custom signage.
4️⃣ Include Table Accents
Details make the difference! Some must-haves include:
- Crystal or LED centerpieces
- Floating candles in glass vases
- Custom name placards
- Charger plates and napkin rings
- A pair of champagne flutes for toasts
All these can be rented or styled with your planner using pieces from our inventory.
5️⃣ Use Uplighting to Enhance the Mood
Want the head table to glow all night? Ask us to include:
- LED uplights behind your chairs or backdrop
- Fairy lights or soft underlighting around the table
- Mini chandeliers or hanging bulbs if under a tent
Lighting is what takes your setup from pretty to Pinterest-worthy.
