Choose A Seat Not A Side

Image
Not the traditional Bride and Groom? Don’t fancy the idea of having his family seated on one side during the ceremony, and yours on the other? In ancient times, marriage was often used to resolve conflicts and threats of war. Prior to the Union, the tribes of the bride and groom were still hostile, and therefore were seated on opposite sides to prevent bloodshed.  The groom would often have to defend his bride against kidnappers during the ceremony. The bride stood on the groom’s left hand side so that his sword arm was free to attack or defend. I'd like to think that those days are over. So, if you don't want to segregate your guests during a time when both families are coming together, here are some suggested signs that can solve your problem: Choose a seat not a side. We're all family once the knot is tied. Find a seat, stay as long as you can. We are all friends here so there is no seating plan. As two families become one we ask that you choose a ...

Atmosphere Productions: Unique Place Card Idea

Image
Have you searched the web yet for ideas on how to display your wedding reception place cards? Looked at any pictures yet on pinterest? Here's a great idea from our recent clients Laura and Eric. Each guest’s place card was nestled in a bundle of two wine bottle corks, tied with a delicate ribbon - Wine bottle corks lined up like little soldiers.  This idea is sturdier than a single cork with a slit cut along the side.

5 Essential Tips For Wedding Seating Arrangements

Image
Wedding planning, for the most part, is a lot of fun. Choosing flowers, food, cakes and colors is a source of great enjoyment for most couples. Figuring out where everyone is going to sit at the reception is usually not. Whether mom is nagging you not to seat feuding Aunt Nellie and Aunt Edith next to each other, or you just can’t figure out what to do with that lone friend from graduate school, planning seating arrangements can be a drag. Generally, though, you should do it anyway. If you don’t, some people will rush for the “prime” seats. This could result in your great-grandma relegated to a back corner with your co-workers and some of the groom’s frat brothers. Some couples may have to split up to find seats. Shy guests may be uncomfortable approaching a table of strangers to ask if they may sit there, and once seated, may feel excluded from the conversation. The bottom line: help your guests have a good time by designing seating. Here are some tips: 1. Seat VIPs First. A...
