Wedding Sweetheart Table Ideas Couples Love in 2025

When it comes to wedding receptions, few details are as iconic as the sweetheart table. It’s where the couple sits, framed by a backdrop that becomes the most photographed part of the night. In 2025, couples are reimagining this moment with bold florals, custom-built stages, and designs that reflect their personalities and venues.

At Ethereal Creators, we’ve designed sweetheart tables across Toronto and the GTA that have become the highlight of our couples’ receptions. Here are five unforgettable sweetheart table ideas — each one loved by couples in 2025.

1. Modern Black & White Elegance at Aga Khan Museum (Jasmine & Anuj)

For Jasmine and Anuj, the goal was modern sophistication. At the Aga Khan Museum, we built a sweetheart stage framed by sheer black draping that contrasted beautifully with a sea of ivory florals. The sleek white stage reflected against a mirrored dance floor, doubling the impact of the design.

This style is perfect for couples who want a minimalist yet striking look, blending clean architectural lines with lush blooms. Black-and-white palettes never go out of style, and when paired with reflective surfaces, the sweetheart table becomes a true showstopper.

2. Blush Romance at Château Le Parc (Harneet & Gary)

If modern minimalism isn’t your vibe, consider the softer side of romance. For Harneet and Gary’s Château Le Parc celebration, we created a blush-toned sweetheart table framed by a sculptural, wavy white backdrop. Soft pink and ivory florals spilled across the stage, while warm chandeliers overhead glowed golden, casting a dreamy light across the room.

The result was pure romance — a space that felt inviting, whimsical, and tailored for a fairytale reception. This look resonates with couples who want to infuse warmth and intimacy into their decor while keeping it luxe.

3. Forest Garden Fairytale at Royal Ambassador (Samin & Karmin)

For Samin and Karmin’s reception at Royal Ambassador, we transformed the sweetheart stage into a Versailles-inspired garden escape. A grand green backdrop with ornate detailing set the scene, surrounded by lush, layered florals in ivory, blush, and soft peach tones.

The space felt regal yet organic — as if the couple was seated in a secret garden. With topiary accents, gold-framed mirrors, and natural floral textures, this sweetheart table redefined garden weddings in Toronto.

Couples who love European elegance, or want their reception to feel like an immersive floral dreamscape, will gravitate to this design.

4. Sculptural White Statement at St. Regis

Sometimes, the most powerful designs are the simplest. At the St. Regis, we created a modern white sweetheart table defined by sculptural backdrops and layered white florals. Rows of candles added a soft glow, while curved panels created depth and texture without relying on heavy colors.

This style is ideal for couples who love a timeless and contemporary aesthetic. White-on-white doesn’t mean boring — when paired with dimensional builds and candlelight, it feels both luxurious and fresh.

5. Luxe White & Gold Glam at Venetian (Nikki & Philip)

For Nikki and Philip’s wedding at The Venetian, we leaned into white-and-gold opulence. The sweetheart table was surrounded by towering floral cascades and candle clusters, while subtle gold detailing elevated the entire stage. The addition of their wedding cake beside the sweetheart table tied the whole design together seamlessly.

This style is perfect for couples who want glamour with a touch of tradition — a look that feels regal, photogenic, and rich in detail.

Choosing the Perfect Sweetheart Table Style

Every couple’s sweetheart table tells a story. Some want modern simplicity, while others dream of garden-inspired romance or full-blown glam. The key is to choose a design that complements your venue, matches your overall theme, and feels authentic to you as a couple.

Whether it’s romantic blush, timeless white, or bold black-and-white, these designs prove that the sweetheart table is no longer just a seat — it’s the centerpiece of your wedding decor.
