In the Palm Court at Hotel Valley Ho, three unique wedding escort card table designs are set for brides and grooms who want to wow their guests before they even take a seat.
In With the Old
Vintage. Elegant. Timeless. These three elements, as exemplified by these beautiful flowers, will always be in style.
Instead of doing individual escort cards for each guest, a budget-friendly alternative is to create table cards that list the guests’ names as a group, not individually. This will save money and give you a more creative escort card table.
With spring around the corner, Mother Earth’s most lovely flowers are in season. Coral peonies, garden roses, hydrangea and white dahlias will make any centerpiece one fit for a fairytale affair.
Strong and Soft
Jasmine vine and phalaenopsis orchids lifted by an architectural metal centerpiece brings a bold statement to this escort card table. Pretty shapes and draped floral add romance to the design.
Each guest’s escort card, made from barklike, linen-textured paper, individually sit on a circular glass vase with a simplistic piece of greenery placed below.
Varying heights are important in design. Moss and orchids are arranged along the bottom of the centerpiece while glass ornament vases hang above. Adding different heights gives guests a more encompassing design in which they see something new every time they look at it.
The white of the orchids against the green amaranthus give this piece a fresh pop of color.
Modern Love
Acrylic is a very hot trend in weddings. This design speaks to the more modern couple. An oversize custom acrylic box incased with suspended birch wood poles is a show-stopping piece that will get guests excited to enter the reception.
Metal is also becoming popular with current brides and grooms. Here, metal-plated escort cards hang off individual glass tubes with metal wire.
Be different. Flowers do not always have to be the focal point of your décor. Let the container be the standout piece while the floral accents the design. For example, the long strands of grass are simple but make a big impact overall.
