Wire Card Holders

Make graceful holders with swirls that enhance a card's design. These are actually pieces of inexpensive radio wire -- cloth-covered wire, used in vintage radios, that is available in a variety of colors online (look for solid, not stranded, wire). Give it a new twist for a wedding, and it can hold place cards, menus, and more.

Clementine Place Cards

Mini oranges tucked inside strips of folded parchment paper bring warm color to the reception table -- they're also a nice palate cleanser between courses.

Fabric Flowers

Fabric flowers make a pretty, wilt-proof way for guests to find their seats and then sport as corsages or boutonnieres. Simply use floral tape to attach a brooch pin to the stem of a fabric flower (these are from Dulken and Derrick). Have a calligrapher pen names onto strips of card stock, then punch small holes on one end, and slip pins through.
