Unusual and Quirky Table Plan ideas

When it comes to your wedding decorations, your table plan is one of the most important. Not only does it need to look great and work with your wedding theme, it also has to be super practical so that all your guests can find their seats easily. However, there’s still plenty of opportunity to make your table plan brilliant and eye-catching. These unusual and quirky table plan ideas can be adapted for all sizes and styles of wedding. It’s time to take your seat!

Unusual Table Plans For All Wedding Themes

Your seating plan really is an important detail in your day and when it comes to the design, the sky really is the limit. Everything from traditional printed plans to unusual and personal alternatives work really well so it’s just up to you to choose your favourite. Here are some of our favourite ideas:

If you’d like your seating plan to make a real statement, a ‘tree’ is the perfection option. Hang the seating details from the branches and even decorate the area around the seating plan so that it really is unmissable. If you’d like to switch things up in the evening, remove the seating assignments and add in lots of family wedding photos.

Hoops and circlets are currently really popular wedding decorations and it’s easy to see why. Use a beautiful hoop to create your table plan – simply suspend seating assignments inside the hoop and decorate with foliage and flowers. To complete this look, hang similar hoops (without the seating details!) behind your top table.

Maps make the perfect seating plans for couples who love to travel. Name each table after one of your favourite destinations and then add seating assignments to a large map that can be displayed outside the main barn. Add postcards or photos from each destination to your tables as part of the table decorations.

The traditional large printed table plan is still a good idea and these are really easy for your guests to read and understand. You can make your own, or have it printed for your by your stationer, and these plans can work with any colour scheme or wedding theme. If you have a lot of guests, consider having two table plans on display to speed things up as guests come in for dinner.
