Planning a Wedding: The Layout

Planning a wedding celebration involves countless considerations – from selecting the ideal location, to the type of cuisine to serve your guests. Designing a wedding layout may seem complex but, with careful planning, you can create a stunning and practical setting for your special day.

Here are some recommendations to help you organise the layout for a wedding floorplan:

• Determine the number of guests – Begin by deciding how many people you plan to invite. This will help you decide the size of the venue, the number of tables and chairs needed, and other logistical details;
• Select a suitable venue – Once you have a rough estimate of the number of guests, find a perfect location that can comfortably accommodate them. Consider the venue’s size, design and accessibility. Villa Bighi can be the ideal backdrop for the celebration of your love. We offer an outdoor area with breathtaking views of the Grand Harbour, as well as a stylish indoor hall for more intimate weddings;

Its elegant seventeenth-century neo-classical design gives Villa Bighi an additional characteristic factor and sets it apart from other venues. The Villa oozes elegance and style with open-air landscaped gardens, an impressive building and a view that provide perfect backdrops for unforgettable wedding photos. The location can be customised to match the theme and design of your dream wedding, creating a truly personalised and unique experience;

• Create a thoughtful floorplan – Sketch the layout of the venue, taking into account essential wedding components, such as the ceremony and reception areas, dance floor, food and drink tables, and additional décor;
• Choose a theme- Infuse your wedding with a theme and incorporate it in the design. Let the theme influence your choices for décor, table arrangements and other elements;
• Ensure a smooth flow of the event – To ensure that the occasion runs smoothly, plan a strategic layout. Leave enough space between tables for guest comfort and easy service;
• Design a plan of the reception area – Whether you are having a standing reception or a seated wedding, you need to plan and design the reception area. Consider the number of tables and chairs required, as well as the shape of the tables and how they would fit in the venue layout. It is important to include everything, from restrooms, bars to food buffets and the band. Nobody wants to navigate a maze!
• Add decorative elements – Enhance the overall look and feel of your wedding by incorporating décor components such as flowers, lighting, tablecloths and other ornamental elements;
• Consider logistics – Consider logistics, such as parking and accessibility for your guests. Ensure your wedding layout design for these practical aspects.    

By following these guidelines and putting in the effort to plan carefully, you can create a wedding layout that captures your vision and will make your special day truly memorable.
