Table Planning

I don't want to go in to the hassle and stress of choosing who to invite, who not to invite or where to sit the invited! That is the bit of stress that you have to endure.  Trust me though it will all be worth it and those who don't get an invite will understand and those that do will not mind where they sit and even if they do they will be gracious and not say anything! Everyone is on their best behaviour at a wedding!

I want to explore some ideas for laying out your table plan so as to really make a statement and set the theme for your wedding reception.  Here are some of my ideas.

Firstly you can get some beautiful ones made up by professional wedding stationery companies.  One of my favourites is Knots & Kisses They currently have a great offer for orders made before the end of July 2014.

Knots & Kisses

I really like the idea of using old vintage keys and tying luggage tags to each one with guest names on them. Ask Love Letters to create a sign for you to say 'Tell us your key to success'.  Each guest then writes their advice on the rear and pops the key back into your vintage suitcase.

Here's another beautiful blog that details the use of keys in for weddings Inspired by this

Esty.com

 My next make is going to be a vintage suitcase combined with some old keys, ribbon, dusky pink ribbon, luggage tags and a lovely reclaimed wood sign all handpainted by moi......

Adding a special touch to collecting cards on your big day!

My husband is all absorbed with the World Cup, even going so far as to demand dinner to be from a different participant country each night!  I meanwhile am busy looking at all things weddings.

Have just sourced another vintage suitcase to decorate for a special brides wedding.  Vintage suitcases are ever popular at weddings to use as table planners, card boxes or both combined.

Here's one I decorated previously: -

After http://lovelettersdirect.weebly.com/

It got me thinking of what else would make a lovely vestibule for all of the well wishing cards received on your big day!  With time on my hands I went searching!

How about a wicker lobster pot for a seaside/nautical wedding?

I really think this would look fantastic and could be used as a garden feature after the special day to remind you forever more of all the wonderful wishes you were sent by your guests!

How about a dolls house?  If you have or know someone with the skills you could make one to match your new marital home or even a miniature wedding venue?

Lots of options on Ebay

For a rustic affair I have tried to steer away from the obligatory apple crates.  What about a hessian sack?  You can pretty it up with some raffia or ribbon and even stitch or paint your initials on it.  They are cheap as chips.  Check them out at you local garden centre or online.

Anything that is used to store things can be adapted to use as a card collector.  It's up to you and your imagination.  Remember to contact Loveletters to create you some hand painted letters to say 'CARDS' or contact us and will create you a bespoke suitcase to include ribbon and decorations to exactly match your colour scheme.

Flaming June Offer

SPECIAL JUNE OFFER

To celebrate the arrival of summer (at long last!) we have a very special offer for orders placed in early June – BUY 2 SIGNS GET A 3RD FREE!



Our signs look great on their own but also make a really great impact if there are a few of them dotted around your venue, perhaps one to welcome your guests, one to direct them around and one to celebrate the great day – your names & date & “Just Married” for example.



There’s never been a better time to order - 3 SIGNS FOR THE PRICE OF 2



You can also use this offer if you’d like more than 3 signs – we’ll knock a third off the price – order 6 you’ll only pay for 4 for example.



This offer is for a very limited time only and on a 1st come 1st served basis – so be quick! Just quote ‘SunnyJune’ when ordering.

The elves are in their workshop....

Christmas is in the air in the Love Letters household.  We are all about glitter and sparkles this year along with paper roses and cinnamon sticks!! 

Paper Roses courtesy of Leanne's obsession with all things Kirstie Allsopp!!!!  Instead of the box of dried rose petals or a scattering of diamante we are thinking a scattering of paper roses on the table along with some beautifully decoupaged wooden table numbers.  Add some red candles and some scented dark red roses.  Winter wedding theme - DONE!! (as Gordon Ramsey would say!)



Red Roses and wooden letters



On the wedding decor front we are now searching high and low for vintage items to hire out to our lovely brides.  Our latest finds are a vintage Polaroid camera and some gorgeous art deco mirrors which we are going to turn in to table plans.

We've also got a thing about berries. The hedgegrow's are full of them.  It's too early to start creating a Christmas wreath but it's not too early to make a stunning arrangement for the house.  This is Sunday's project.  Combined with a lovely walk in the crispy country air.  Watch this space for the outcome.  Am aiming for: -

 

 

Wine Charms

It's all about the champagne.  Corks popping, bubbles forming, fizz fizzing, guests quaffing.  Now with our new hand made wine charms you can add a little bit of unique to your champagne/wine glasses. 

We will hand create as many little charms as you require. You let us know the letters you would like, choose a colour for the letter to be painted, choose pearls, choose diamante, choose a ribbon colour to match your scheme.  Decide whether you would like the charm to hang from the top of the glass or whether you'd like it to clip around the stem.  We leave all the choices to you.  Your wish is our command!! They are our new favourite piece to create. 

Currently we are working on a beautiful silver and ivory scheme with ivory letters, pearls and silver ribbon.  The charms look stunning. 


We will keep striving to find more unique items to add to your wedding.
