Often appreciated by all, the seating plan is required to escort your guests and facilitate their task of finding their places in the reception room! Especially when it comes to find their place at the table among a hundred guests…To indicate the location to each of their guests, many opt for the seating plan. Here are our  wedding place card ideas!

The seating plan: what it is?

The seating plan is, as its name indicates, a paper on which the tables will be drawn … Moreover, on the same tables you will place a card with the name of your guests! The seating plans are mostly performed in a large frame in which you insert the paper on which everything is written: table names and exact places of your guests! The table plan can also be performed on different media, originally decorated.

The creation of the seating plan

Some like the traditional seating plan, inserted in a frame on a simple white sheet of paper. Others prefer the more creative seating plans, homemade, decorated with ribbons, photos, postcards, etc. … The seating plan can be decorated in the style of marriage, you must not forget that! Unfortunately, many brides always end up with a seating plan that resembles the classical designs, unoriginal and problematic when they have over 100 guests.

Here is a helpful idea: a seating plan in tabular form with flags. Each flag is personalized and bears the name of the guests and their table number. In the same line you can use cards or postcards: hang a picture placed on an easel, highlight it properly and it will be eye-catching. Pastel flowers or buds can accommodate a card table by the detailed composition of the table. In this way you can avoid the traditional framework hung at the entrance of the room.

Table plans or maps?

The wedding place card ideas are practical; if you want absolutely determine the exact position of your guests. But if you plan to have round tables, with a dozen of individuals at each table, the simplest way would be to tell your guests their table number. Based on this principle, designers have created the escort card: they avoid the seating plan and offer the prospect of a better organization for the guest room and a smoother running of the party. The principle of the escort card is “we choose the table, you choose your place at table”. You can then install this card on the table. Each card should be arranged in alphabetical order, as it is easiest to navigate through. For achieving the wow factor, you can create a tree at the entrance in which to hang the place cards. It is quite original and gorgeous.

Glasses decorated with lemon slices, straws and ice cubes are just as important as the content! And for a wedding, be it spring or summer, there is really nothing like a real cocktail, a mixture of alcohol and fruit juice!

You really see wonderful things in weddings, but here it is a simply fabulous setting idea to reproduce for the delight of the guests! A wedding reception in a garden can also be very stylish if you add special items. The chandelier hanging from a tree is simply original!

The buffet for any garden reception should be a convivial and warm place. Still on the same white cloth with the same sets of clusters of pink and white flowers, the candy buffet is composed of traditional glass jars hosting biscuits and cookies. Of course, you could still arrange it indoors, if you prefer this alternative. To add a touch of originality, you can handwrite the names of the cookies on cute vintage labels and cards.

One of the advantages of outdoor wedding is that nature is beautiful natural scenery which greatly reduces the need for additional decorations. However, this does not mean that you do not have to exert any effort. We recommend that you visit the outdoor wedding venues for the wedding reception a couple of weeks before the scheduled date to make sure that the grass was cut, excavation sites were cleared and the flowers bloom. If your wedding will be held in the park, ask the best man or your friends to check all these details on the morning of your ceremony. As additional decorations for wedding outdoors can be used, for example, a special set of mirrors for the exit registration under which the bride and groom will be able to say their wedding vows, electric lights on the trees, special lanterns made of colored paper or glass, torches.

Catering company you select should have experience in developing the menu for a wedding in the fresh air. Please make sure that its upcoming chefs and dishes are well tolerated. In any case, do not order salads, mayonnaise or dishes that require special storage conditions.

Since the consumption of alcohol contributes to dehydration, do not forget to order plenty of chilled soft drinks, such as lemonade and iced tea. Take care to have provided significant reserves of ice and plain water. And if you prefer fancy cocktails, why not invite your friends to a classic mojito or mint cocktail? Mint refreshes and ‘cools’ the overheated guests.
If you are dreaming of a romantic setting, we recommend that you organize a wedding or register the first wedding dance at the time of sunset: you and your guests will never forget such an unusual sight. If you decide to hold your wedding during the day, try to do so that during the ceremony the sun to shine mildly.

Do not forget to contact the local authorities or other government authorities to get permission to hold the wedding outdoors, unless, of course, you do not have a wedding party in the garden or at the cottage or on the territory of any country hotel. Be sure to check if there are any restrictions associated with the use of candles or other lighting, garbage removal and fireworks.

Many couples do not put value on the exterior decorations of outdoor wedding venues, but it is very important because it creates the first impression. So if the restaurant has an indoor garden, stairs, pool, lawn or paved paths make the most of them and decorate them in the most original way. Opt for garlands of flowers, archways decorated with tulle and satin bows in color of the interior arrangements or plants to adorn the bright front door.

The wedding table is an essential element of the decor, which affects the whole style of celebration. And the central decoration, in this regard, must be unique, memorable and vivid. Wedding brings the guests’ attention onto unusual design options for the table. Beautiful wedding receptions must be prepared in the smallest detail, so centerpieces are the first things to be considered.

The vintage wedding table decoration is not so uncommon. Perhaps the fashion to decorate the table in vintage style came after the new film adaptation of ‘Alice in Wonderland.’ It looks very nice and gentle. To make the design fit into the overall decor of the banquet hall, it is possible to add different colors and flowers, preferably peonies, tulips, carnations, roses and gerberas in pastel tones. A stack of old books or chess, located on a support will look very stylish and original. In any case, the guests will be equally surprised. They can comment on this central composition in that it emphasizes guests’ identities and priorities in life. Books and a chess board can also be used as a stand for spherical bouquets.

Fruits, vegetables and flowers in a pot are pretty common, but you can give them a modern vintage twist. Making the central composition of fruits and vegetables is not uncommon. For example, in the center of the table can be arranged a pile of apples, complemented by decorative moss or twigs tied to the top and bows. Pot plants are also one of the most fashionable wedding trends. It does not matter whether it is violets, daisies, gerberas or just the greens, you will definitely have beautiful wedding receptions.
