Modern Laser-Cut Wedding Place Cards

My wedding taste often veers towards the shabby chic and the pretty or rustic, but I couldn't help but fall for these fantastic laser-cut place cards by RTree Creations. Each sophisticated place card is personalised with your guest's name and table number, and you can choose the paper and colour to suit your wedding aesthetic and theme. Wouldn't they be the perfect addition to an urban wedding?

Winter Wedding Place Markers Inpsiration

These may well be the most adorable winter wedding place markers I've ever seen. I've long been a huge fan of the humble pom pom as the best DIY wedding project ever. Meanwhile pine cones are SO in this season, and they'd work perfectly for a countryside wedding, even in the summer. Plus, with the festive season well and truly started, they'd made a great craft project for Christmas Day as well. If you're not up to the DIY, or you've got 200 to make and not enough time, then head over the Potter and Butler to snap these up.
