Why it works for a rehearsal dinner

A smaller, closer dinner where conversation carries the night. A solid-wood dining chair with a crossed back and woven or plank seat. It brings the warmth of a farm table to long reception rows and looks good from behind, which is the angle your guests see all night.

Rehearsal dinners are more intimate than the wedding, which makes long tables or a few smaller rounds feel warmer than a grid of identical rounds.
