What is the first thing your guests do when they arrive at your reception (aside from seeking out a cocktail, of course?). Figure out where they’re sitting! You’ve got a few options here: escort cards, seating charts, or simply no assigned seating. For option #2, we’ve put together some of our favorite seating charts that are not only informational, but that act as part of the decor for your big day! Don’t be afraid of something more whimsical and unusual like some humorous seating charts or charts made on a country map. For a vintage-inspired and exquisite wedding try several mixed elegant frames, so all together they would make a seating gallery wall. If you don’t want to bother too much about this, look for some cool free printable options or order something on Etsy.
Define The Style
Consider the style of your wedding and your wedding color scheme to create a proper seating chart. If it’s a rustic wedding, you can upcycle some cutting boards to make a seating chart, if you are going woodland or natural, rock greenery in bottles, vases or pots, on which you’ll write the seating plan. If it’s a modern wedding, you can rock acrylic glass houses or risers filled with blooms and with the seating plan written on them.
