Pages of style #6: Top Tables

Table settings using book pages
 ideas: 1) Cutlery pouches
2) scroll place setting
 3) Flower napkin rin

I really like it when I go to a wedding and some thought and time has gone into the name tags, menu and how each place setting looks. It elevates a wedding from fancy meal to special event.

There's also lots of fun to be had:
Laid back bbq reception, how about turning those pages into a pouch for each person? You could place a napkin, cutlery, salt & pepper sachets and maybe a ice breaker question for each guest. Place the pouches in a wicker basket, for a rustic and accessible display.

A simple idea is to turn pages from your chosen book into napkin rings.

As the pictures to the left display, you could attach a flower to each name tag. perhaps attach a brooch clip and they could double up as favours for the female guests.
Cut pages to make
table numbers






For table numbers you could cut the number from a page and then mount it on plain paper -this would look effective either with the number made of the page or in relief (the coloured base showing through).






If you want to make the books the central theme to a wedding, you could take you inspiration from the table settings to the left.
By simply creating fans from the pages you can make 3D place mats and simple decorations for the backs of chairs.
