Who sits where.  How well would they get along with one another.  You want them to enjoy each others company.  What does that have to do with your floral wedding centerpiece?  Let's say you choose a large very full wedding centerpiece that takes up the majority of your table how well will your guests be able to communicate with each other.  If your guests can't look over at one another how can they benefit from all the hard work you put into seating them with people they'd have fun with and enjoy?
