Etsy Find: Place Card Holder

Monday, February 15th, 2010

Happy Monday everyone! We hope you had a fabulous Valentines weekend!  We are starting this week off with a unique Etsy find for our “rustic” Brides out there!  If you want to “go green” for your next dinner party or event? Well, make it easy and memorable with these 12 wonderful and eco-friendly tree-branch place card holders and parchment card stock place cards made my ARemarkYouMade on Etsy. They would make a natural and rustic table display and would be great for going green, holiday dinner parties, bridal showers or luncheons for your bridesmaids, your wedding party table, or an outdoor wedding theme.

Each holder is cut from a reclaimed tree branch from a down tree in hopes of giving it new life. The wood center markings are unique to each piece and make an interesting pattern. A groove for the place card has been cut in the center. Hand write your guests’ names on each place card. Slide the place cards in the groove for an eye-catching display. Visit this Etsy Shop for more details! 

Oh How Charming!

new-picture-3If you are looking for a fun creative way to tell your guests where they will be sitting….why not give them a custom button! You can create each button image based on that specific guest’s personality! It will not only show them where their sitting (it can be attached to a card with their name and table number) but will also give them something to talk about with your friends and family!  Now, what would your button say….???

bridal-hair_page000For the true romantic, nothing beats the look of a blushing bride than a fabulous hair style! Your wedding gown should ultimately dictate which hairstyle you choose, so be sure to bring a photo of it to your stylist during your first trial.  The one rule you must keep in mind is the more dramatic the neckline, the less complicated the hair should be, and vice versa!  Look around for ideas and inspirations and chat with your stylist…after all, they are the experts.  Most importantly, be sure you feel comfortable with whatever choice you make.  In the end, you will look mahhhvelous dahhhling!
