Brainstorm Session: Escort Cards

I am always inspired by the engaged couples that I get to work with on a daily basis. They bring so many interesting ideas and visions that I never would have thought of. Today I met with a wonderful bride about the finishing touches on her "day-of" design which includes programs, menus, table numbers and escort cards. We nailed down everything but the escort cards. She wants something unique and beautiful that fits her historically elegant venue and romantic-chic vibe. After our meeting I began researching and brainstorming different ideas. The wheels in my head are churning for the perfect solution.

Below are a few creative examples for these tiny, sophisticated, personal pieces of paper:

I love this example from Martha Stewart! The design is simple but effective, plus the lavender would smell great and be a tiny token to take home after the nuptials. 

The simply stated elegance of this is example is tremendously eye-catching. The use of ribbon helps connect the garden-fresh flowers with the place cards. 

A candlelit escort card. It doesn't get more romantic than that, but it may be dangerous if people are walking to their table with them?

LOVE this idea. The couples favorite candy or chocolate with a simple escort card. So sweet – literally!

The styling, by Lauryl Lane, of this entire wedding is to DIE for, but I especially love the the place cards inside of the moss vase. I wonder, if we could dress this idea up a bit for an indoor affair?

Simple and clean design + fun and playful ribbon = YES please! These are great, enough said. 

Anyone have any other neat and fun escort card ideas? I am still brainstorming and want TONS of options. 

Have a great weekend!
