Your seating card display gives you a great opportunity to add a touch of creativity to an aspect of your wedding that each one of your guests will see and interact with. It’s also a perfect place to add a little fun and whimsy to your overall theme. These design details go a long way to reinforce your design direction. Clean repetitive concepts are easy to execute and visually striking as you can see from these examples.

Here, flats of grass with water-tubed daisies are a cheerful and sweet start to the night. Super easy to execute.

This hand-made birch stand has slits where each of the dye-cut leaves slide into place. We adorned the stand with ivy to make it blend in with it’s surroundings.

So simple and fun for a country setting. The linen is sewn from burlap- we pinned a grosgrain ribbon to the linen and then used clothes pins to clip to the ribbon so that the cards didn’t fly away!

This was for a summer wedding in Vermont. We chose two shades of grosgrain ribbon and wove them into a crisscross pattern. We  glued pine cones onto the ribbon to hold the cards in place. Very neat and tidy and no problem with the wind.

This is one of my favorite concepts. The slate tiles are set in a grooved table top. So elegant and tailored for an outdoor cocktail reception.
