To have a seating chart or to not have a seating chart? This seems to be one question that couples have the hardest time in answering. On one hand, you allow your guests to sit where they want and then on the other you may have guests that do not know where to sit because they do not know anyone. We don’t have an answer for you but we may have a way of making your decision a little bit easier.

Escort cards are such a great way to add a last touch of your personality to your wedding. It allows you to add a subtle “wow” factor as your guests are entering the reception hall. You can match them to your color or theme or both or even have it be your favor, this is one more chance for you to be creative. If you and your fiance love wine consider using wine corks, if you are having a more intimate ceremony think of using tea candles with their names on the sides. The options are endless when it comes what you can use for these fabulous little name cards. If you love the idea of escort cards but are struggling with creating a seating chart, consider seating people together who have similar interests or seating those who may not know each other but at least have heard of others at the table. Good luck with your seating charts and enjoying creating your unique escort cards!

This Denver wedding couple was feeling a little southern when they picked their colors, channeling New Orleans they decided to add a little Mardi Gras to their wedding. They chose to go with dark purples that speaks of royalty, as every couple should feel like royalty on their wedding day. The yellows and greens they picked where chosen because they are the colors they think of when they were carefree children during summer. Their theme started with the dark purple that their bridesmaids were dressed in and the beautiful peridot necklace that were given as bridesmaids’ gifts. To finish their color scheme each bridesmaid was given a bouquet that had all of the colors, including bright yellow to bring it all together. To add the feel of walking down the Mardi Gras parade they used purples, gold and greens on the buffet tables. Their main meal will steer a little away from Mardi Gras but the dessert bar that they have will bring their guests right back to that feeling. The bride will wear a strapless gown with a pleated bow down the back, the lace will flow from the waist to the skirt where it gathers to add fullness. Her handsome groom will sport a black tux with a gold vest and tie. To break away from tradition of a guest book, each guest will be given a small feathered mask to write their names on the back, at the end of the night the guests will place their masks in a designated frame, to create their own unique design for the bride and groom.

This couple wanted their laid back mountain lifestyle to be center stage on their Colorado wedding day.  The theme starts with their invitation suite; a rustic chipboard with lacy detail is prevalent through the suite, the RSVP cards are all vintage postcards from all the places they have traveled together.  They incorporated a lot of vintage items, as well as a blue, green and yellow color palette that mimics the beautiful scenery into their ceremony and reception.  A rustic sign directs guests to the ceremony space where hay bales covered in handmade quilts beckon to be sat on.  The bride will wear a short, classic and casual dress and her groom will sport a gray vest with a tie, their beloved Lab will act as best man and dons his own wedding day garland.  After the sweet ceremony, guests will be welcomed by a soda bar, featuring an array of old time vintage style sodas.  In lieu of a guest book, everyone is invited to write notes to the bride and groom on their 1970’s typewriter.  After dinner, guests can dance the night away under sting lights and the beautiful Colorado night skies.
