Fruit and Veggie Escort Cards
Fruit and Veggie Escort Cards
Coordinate your place card display table with your centerpieces, all while giving your wedding decor a unique rustic touch with this simple DIY idea.
Use a different fruit or vegetable to designate all of your tables. Arrange each type of fruit or veggie below a numbered table card and simply pin each place card to the appropriate artichoke, radish, carrot -- or whatever else happens to be in season. If you like the earthy look for your table numbers (pictured above), try a hardware or craft store for broken pieces of bark or wood scraps that could easily be turned into table number holders.
Just remember -- live vegetable or fruit seating cards won't last long -- you'll need to have these done the morning of or the day before the wedding so that your vegetables are still smelling fresh.
Not into the rustic feel of fresh veggies? Substitute them with marzipan fruit escort cards for an early spring wedding (they'd also be great for a bridal shower). These are easier to work with, since they can last months when properly refrigerated. Either way, you'll have a sweet or savory idea to help show your guests to their seats at the reception.

What is great about this is that they can make your wedding truly stand-out from others. I have been to a large number of weddings and have never seen this at any of them. I agree with Kendall regarding only using fresh stock or marzipan. The rustic look is perfect for a Fall wedding.

I just love your idea for using veggies with Escort Card and if you don't mind I will give you credit on my blog www.divineweddingideas.com. At the momentI have just quoted Kendall Pfeffer but if you would prefer I credit www.mydiyweddingday.com let me know.
