Lovely reader Rachel emailed me late last week asking for some assistance gathering inspiration for the escort card display at her wedding next June. She was one of the reader models at a Southern Weddings photo shoot last spring photo by Jose Villa. Anyway, on to her question:. We are having about guests to our wedding, and the reception will be hosted at the Surf Club in Wrightsville Beach around 7-ish at night.
Do you have any other ideas? We have some space to work with, so we could set something up on a table or something. No more nightmares, Miss Rachel! Both of these ideas are from Martha the instructions for the second look are here. SO much cheaper and so many more colors than ANY other option out there.
Even the DIY-disinclined can probably handle tacking the envelopes to the board! If you like the sans-envelope look, consider pinning mini letterpress cards to the boards.
I love these designs from Bella Figura , since everything about them is customizable. The best part? For a more interesting table display than fabric-wrapped boards, I love the idea of pinning escort cards to apples, as seen in this shot from a Cooper Carras wedding. Stick with white or cream cards for this one, so as not to compete with the gorgeous apple skins.
You could also switch out the apples for lemons or limes or oranges. I also love the idea of tying simple tags to vintage keys. Even a DIY-phobe can handle a shoelace knot, right?! Instructions for the second idea here. Finally, we move on to options that are meant to be hired out.
