A Landmark Wedding Table Plan
Seating plans and escort cards
The most obvious way to incorporate your favourite landmarks into your seating plan is to use a map of your chosen city or country. Remember that you don’t have to think quite as big – if your favourite place is your little home town, you could choose your favourite shop, bar, country walk and church as local landmarks for your seating plan. Here are some examples of creative landmark wedding seating plans to inspire you:
- This wedding seating plan was created using the map of the Paris Metro. The table names were based on Parisian landmarks that the couple had the fondest memories for, such as Notre Dame, the Hotel de Ville and Chatelet. Beaucoup d’amour!
- This well travelled couple used a world map as their seating plan, with worldwide landmarks as table names.
- Personalising a monopoly board, and using it as a wedding seating plan is a great way to combine your favourite landmarks with a sense of fun! Here is one great example, with another example here using monopoly cards (which you could personalise with your chosen landmarks) as escort cards.
- The stunning wedding seating plan below uses a panoramic New York city skyline as the backdrop for the seating plan design. Each table is named after a landmark building, with “The Empire State Building” being used for the top table. Not only was that the Bride’s favourite building from her studies at University, it was where the Groom proposed too! Thanks to Kate from Lucabella Photography for allowing us to use the image here.
Table names and numbers
- These striking silhouette London table names would be a great addition to a table plan based on your favourite landmarks.
- To make your table names even more personal, use a photo of the couple at each of the chosen landmarks – here is an example.
- Vintage postcards and maps add a great touch to your seating plan – here are some lovely vintage postcards used as Boston landmark wedding escort cards.
- Three dimensional, these landmark silhouette place cards are simple and stylish.
Table décor and favours
The beauty of this theme is that it will compliment a huge range of table décor and colour schemes. Some personal touches can be added by:
- Including a little note, poem or paragraph explaining why each landmark is special to the happy couple.
- Searching out favours that are unique to your chosen place, such as Union Jack themed favours for a London landmark wedding, and shortbread and whisky favours for Edinburgh!
Other ideas
This landmark theme ties in very neatly with some of our previous posts, for example World Map seating plans and the ‘Suitcases and trunks’ themed seating plans. We have, of course, also created a Pinterest board specifically to go with this article, which has lots more ideas to include your favourite romantic landmarks in your wedding seating plan.
Hi,
I was wondering if you could give me a price for the New York panoramic table plan. My wedding is the 27th dec 2013
Hi Maria. We don’t make the table plans ourselves I’m afraid – we offer software for helping you to arrange who is sitting where. We’ve just featured it here as we thought it was an exceptional design.
