I like the idea of the head table being sit down and guests being buffet. As the bride, I wouldn't want to be serving myself food in my gown. Of course, I can't sit thru a meal without "wearing' something that didn't make the whole trip to my mouth! I love buffets as an everyday meal. You get to pick and choose what and how much you want. I'd think it would also be a huge thing off the "to do" list. Co-ordinating who wants what and there's always some fool that didn't mention he was vegan, lactose intolerant and glutten free!
