This lovely placecard idea is so simple. Anyone can do this. :grin:

It doesn't take much effort or time. What you will need is just these lovely an abundance of one great flower. I'm sure you've seen this with rose petals but I like to use other flowers like this wonderful purple stock. This place card design for roughly 160 to 176 guests requires:

1 8 ft long rectangular table
1 banquet 8 ft drape linen
your own 3 inch tented cards
48 to 50 stems of purple stock
1 pair of floral shears
1 pair of gloves
Dental floss or string or stick ruler or measuring tape

To begin this project, first line the place cards evenly. This design had 16 rows with 10 to 11 place cards in each row. Use dental floss to make sure that the place cards from front to back is straight. Trust me a little string, floss, ruler, or tape measure will ensure that the rows look perfect (like soldiers).

Once the place cards are evenly lined. Begin by removing all florets from the stem. Make sure that there is no green stems left on the purple florets. Tightly place purple stock florets in a straight line. It's good to use gloves because purple stocks can sometimes “bleed”.

That's it. Real simple. Real exceptional.

Enjoy!

Oh I love this idea, so simple yet very elegant. Do you have more pictures of what the place cards actually say….I love the saying at the bottom of the highlighted one. I would be curious to see what other sayings they used!

Dear Wedding Bee fans…I wish I knew what the sayings were at the bottom but I couldn’t read them from the images. I’m so sorry.
