Having a private table at the wedding reception for the bride and groom sets the scene for a romantic and evening. I wanted to create more formal and elegant place settings for the bride and groom since the reception was buffet style. Adding extra floral arrangements and a little glamour puts the focus on the stunning couple all night. Plus, my printable chair backer signs add an extra touch of rustic whimsy.
Use Chargers to help anchor the wedding place settings. Choosing plates and chargers with a touch of silver adds a bit of glamour to the bride and groom's table. I also included a bit more sparkle with my napkin ring choice, but this is another element that you can personalize! Of course, it was important to use rustic elements like the crochet table runner and rustic wood. Get the tutorial for the stunning eucalyptus garland in the Rustic Floral Pergola post. Lay the garland across the Crochet Table Runner for added layers. Then place Rose Votive Candles throughout. I made a lush centerpiece with a simple wooden box and flowers that coordinates well with my other DIY Wedding Centerpiece Ideas for the guests' tables. These Patterned Glasses are gorgeous, and the best part is that they are PLASTIC! For the finishing touch, hang bride and groom signs to the backs of the chairs using double sided tape. I also used floral wire to tie bundles of eucalyptus to the chairs.
