The Seating Experience!

“seating experience.” Everything at a wedding is something for guests to experience so why not start the night off right and offer them one with seating. Let’s ditch the escort card table and see what else there is. Like all other wedding details the seating experience will depend on the style of the wedding. I will walk through some of my favorite seating experiences and the style of wedding it may work best for.

// Pinterest // My current obsession is having all of the names and tables written in the windows of a large vintage door. Not only do you avoid the boring escort card table with this experience but it also provides for additional décor. This seating experience is perfect for a rustic or vintage inspired wedding.
// Pinterest // I love when seating can be tied into the favor. Sometimes tables can be overwhelming with arrangements, glassware, silver, and menus. This is great way to feature seating as well as the favors. This seating experience can work for any wedding and is a way to spice up the standard escort table.
// Pinterest // Tray passed appetizers and beverages are common during cocktail hour so why not have tray passed seating? I love this idea! Not only is it an interactive experience for guests but also it keeps people moving and engaged throughout cocktail hour. This would be a great fit for a very traditional black-tie wedding.
// Style Me Pretty // Using fun beverage glasses that also serve as favors is another great way for an engaging seating experience. Not only does this accomplish several things but also is very cute and a detail that people will remember. This is perfect for an outdoor DIY wedding.
// Pinterest // If a simple escort card table is what fits best there are ways to enhance the seating experience. I love the idea of using a trinket or something that represents the couple to engage guests. This is an idea that could work for any wedding as well but definitely has a more modern feel.
// Style Me Pretty // The seating experience is key as it is one of the first things guests will experience. It is important for it to be fun, engaging, and not too complicated, as you do not want to deter guests. Also, as with anything in regards to a wedding it must be a representation of the couple and fit the aesthetic of the day. Attention to seating is one of the elements that can take a wedding to the next level! xo,
