Details: Escort/Seating Cards

By far one of my most favorite details of my wedding day were my escort cards indicating where guests were seated.  I knew all along I wanted to do something more than just tent cards, and I laid awake at night for months racking my brain until I thought of something to fit my springy wedding theme.

The Bride and Groom were the only ones who didn't pick up their escort card!
I guess they had a hunch as to where they were sitting! :)

All night guests were wearing these in their hair, in their suit jacket pockets, etc. They became the perfect accessory!!

D was awesome and got the orange crates from a local place that packages and ships out oranges.

I purchased all the floral foam from hobby lobby
Long and short pieces

This was BY FAR the hardest part, cutting and fitting all the foam into the crate like puzzle pieces.
In the end I could have probably used something on the bottom as a base but I was pressed for time and used and wasted a TON of floral foam.

I purchased the moss from hobby lobby and secured it to the foam with some floral pins to hide the foam



 Then I covered the top with the moss and Bff Kiki wrote out the table place cards and we affixed them to the daisies.  I had ordered all the silk daisies online and we stuck them in the foam!

We ended up only needing the one crate :)  What are you doing for escort cards?


I'd love to hear from you. Email questions, comments, or photos to blogzillabride@gmail.com

That is SO unbelieveably creative, you need to post this on Pinterest! I wish I was as creative but sadly, I used the traditional tent cards, haha!

Have a great weekend :)

This was awesome and I agree with Asha - you should post it on pinterest for others to get ideas from it.
