Table Plans

Nicky of Sugared & Spiced Venue Dressing demonstrates different ways in which to guide your guests to their tables.

Table plans can be made out of just about anything these days. The traditional table plan is still very much in existence but there are so many other ways to display your table plan and really the only boundary is your imagination.

These table plan cards are by Cards by Sophie and feature pretty pearl hearts. The theme is Hollwyood Greats.


Vintage and Shabby Chic is still very much en vogue this year in the wedding world and so there are props galore out there that you can use as a table plan.


Here we have used a shabby chic style bird cage which would work beautifully in a marquee or a venue where you are able to hang it.

The next example adds a touch of boudoir glamour to the proceedings in the form of a large ornate mirror!

I feel a word of warning is required here - you would have to ensure the mirror was properly secured!


Another point to note is to be mindful of that fact that some of your guests may well be wearing short skirts or dresses so try not to put your table plan cards too low down! It could make for an unfortunate situation which could so easily be caught on camera! Oh the shame!

For more information on the services that Sugared & Spiced can offer visit www.sugaredandspiced.co.uk.

A Sign of Your Love

We adore these pretty shabby chic wooden signs designed and made by Delightful Living. There are a plethora of signs available that make them wonderful wedding presents from a couple to give to each other or a friend or relative to give to the happy couple themselves.

You could mark the day you first met or your wedding day itself. Or perhaps you'd like to signpost your guests to your wedding - how better than with a handcrafted personalised wooden sign?



Your sign can be made in a choice of soft colours and can even be waterproofed for an extra charge. Prices start from around £38 - 42.

For more information and even more beautiful examples visit Delightful Living's Not On the High Street store.

Colour Beautiful

We really love the colour schemes that are around at the moment but don't be afraid to take it that one step further and introduce coloured table linen and coloured glassware to your theme.

This particular example uses coloured plates, bowls and wine goblets with cobalt blue as the main colour and hot pink as the accent colour - great for a summer wedding!

Nicky from Sugared & Spiced Venue Dressing says "More and more couples are introducing coloured fabric to their tables in the form of the tablecloth itself and not just the napkins though if that is a step too far for you then coloured napkins are a very effective way of injecting a shot of colour to the proceedings!"


We asked Nicky which colours are looking strong this Autumn/Winter and she tell us "Purple is still a big winner this season. It is still highly popular in fashion and interiors so it is naturally highly popular in the dressing of wedding venues too. Purple is such a rich vibrant colour with "Cadbury Purple" being the most sought after shade. Teal is another popular choice and is such a lovely colour to team up with other rich colours such as cobalt blue. Again, this is a great choice for the Autumn/Winter season. One of my favourite looks is using Peacock feathers with strong atmospheric purple, green or blue. So regal too!" For information on Sugared & Spiced's venue dressing service go to www.sugaredandspiced.co.uk.

So, what colours are you going for? Are you brave enough to use coloured glassware or table linen?

Wish Tree Cards

If you are planning on having a wish tree at your wedding reception - then why not send out the wish tree cards to your guests with their invitations, and a short explanation what they are for.

This way your guests can give thought and time to writing the lovliest message to you and your bethrothed rather than rushing to think of something on the spur of the moment.

They can then bring their cards with them and hang them on your wish tree. We would however suggest you have some spares at the ready for any guests who may have forgotten to bring theirs with them!

Inject a bit of colour into your wedding dress!

I love, love, love this way of injecting colour into your wedding dress without veering away from the traditional white/ivory colour scheme, and they are becoming more and more popular!

Petticoats! Let's face it, wedding dresses all need them so why not have a bit of fun with yours and inject some colour into it. Chose a colour that co-ordinates with your bridesmaids' outfits or complements it.

Why not share your photos with us!
