I have the perfect display for all the fall loving brides & grooms out there! This apple crate seating chart display is such a fun way to seat your guests. Write guests' names on apples and display them on clear shelves attached to apple crates. It fits in beautifully with fall apple orchard decor and can be made using orchard picked apples. Even better, this seating chart is simple to make. Read on below to learn how to make this unique seating chart. The time it will take you will depend on the number of guests attending your wedding.
