Escort Cards :: Finding Your Table

Friday, April 17th, 2009

How are you going to show your 200+ wedding guests where their tables are located in your beautifully decorated reception?  You will find there is no right or wrong way to “escort” your guests to their seats.  You can truly get creative from hanging the cards, designing shapes or even edible escort cards.

These nautical themed origami style boats would make a great DIY project for you!

I am picturing these umbrellas matched with their escort card and a welcome drink for your guests!  Have them waiting on a table so your friends and family can refresh themselves while finding their table!

I love how this couple used the nature around them, and hung them around a tree in the area! There is no need to stress over these cards or spend a large amount of money on this part of your wedding, get creative with what you have around you!

These escort cards are combined with a pashmina favor for their guests.  You can easily add a name and table number tag to any favor that you want to share with your guests.  This will be a great way for you to ensure your guests get their gifts, and double as a way to show them to their table.

Creating Style with Pomander Balls

Friday, April 10th, 2009

Pomander balls can be used at your wedding in so many different ways, using shape to enhance your decor at your reception!  Whenever I see these balls I always see them as chic and so happy!  They are a fun way to tie flowers into your day.

These balls are perfect for flower girls!  Recently we have seen a lot of venues that are not allowing flower pedals simply because of the clean-up after.  These balls are a perfect way for your flower girls to only have to worry about making it down the aisle. :)

Be creative with the type of flowers you use for these pomander balls, venture out from roses and Gerbera daises and you will find some pretty cool creations!

Don’t limit yourself to using these for only the wedding ceremony!  Hang them from interesting parts of your reception, surprising your guests with your creativity!  They will love these round splashes of color.

How did you use Pomander Balls in your wedding?
