Place Holders Ideas

Lots of spelling/grammar errors in my post. I’m sorry in advance!

I think it will look awesome in front of the lanterns you chose. I love the idea!!

It’ll look great! My sister did something similar, her corks were just laying horizontally. And, he centerpieces we’re white and sage pumpkins with greenery.


Are you making those lanterns? They’re beautiful! I’ve been on the hunt for reasonably priced lanterns for our April wedding! Lol

It must be this app - because I also had a tons of grammar and spelling mistakes on my comment! Lol

And the lanterns were made and come with our venue! Which I’m glad because I was absolutely set on lanterns being out centerpieces and I couldn’t find them any where at a reasonable price online!
I saw some at Michaels that were decently priced. Might want to check online there!

View Quoted Comment That’s awesome! I found some from michaels online, but they were out of stock online and in store. I’ll just keep checking!


And, as far as painting the tops, I wouldn’t do it. It’s just more work for you & it’ll be beautiful enough with the centerpieces, etc. A tag with table number will also flow very well!

I think it'll look great. I've considered something like this and my venue is outside of a historic home, using lantern accents, greenery centerpieces. I wouldn't paint them and would leave them as is.

Do you have at least one other element of your wedding that is wine related? If not, the cork escort card holders might look a little disjointed. Seems that something more rustic instead of vineyard is a better fit. A few inspiration ideas...

Ooops! I reread your post... Were you asking about escort cards or placecards? I saw your cork pic and figured you were referring to escort cards.

The wine corks would look great, BUT I wouldn’t use them for an outside venue. The slightest bit o’ wind will knock them off the tables! Our outdoor local reception had this problem and we had to tape down our centerpieces, even our metal place card holders flew off, even a wine glass or two broke. 😖

I think whether the wine corks make sense is whether or not wine somehow incorporates itself into your wedding. I saw a really cute DIY where they used Ferrero Rocher chocolates as stands and a toothpick held up the names. We won't use it because we're outside and I don't want them blown over, but it's another cute DIY that looks classy because it's gold.

I like the lantern idea a lot! If you painted them just half or fully it would look nice either way, depending on your color palette. 😊 And including the table number does not have to be tacky so long as it's just written on a flimsy paper. Maybe you could paint them nicely onto the lanterns...? I like your ideas!

Not*** just written on a flimsy paper (oops)
