We've been very excited to share these beautiful table plans from Lulabee with you all! Founder, Laura has kindly shared her top tips and ideas for creating a plan that not only looks amazing, but is personal to you as a couple.
Your table plan is almost certainly going to be a labour of love. Countless hours can be spent working out who sits where and who should be placed next to who, which is one of the reasons the final piece should be a bit of a show stopper. It’s also the first thing your guests are going to see after the ceremony, and drinks reception as they walk into the wedding breakfast.
However we do agree that sometimes less is more, and love the simplicity of a printed table plan too. If you are having a lot of elaborate details this may be the best choice.
At lulabee we offer a vast array of hired table plans, which are all personalised and adapted to fit in with your wedding day. A good tip, whether you are making the table plan yourself, or getting someone (like Lulabee!) to help is to try and bring elements of your wedding into the design. If you are getting married in a rural setting, in a barn or having a rustic themed wedding then a wood based table plan could be the one for you! If you are getting married in a stately home or having a more traditional affair, then something fitting like a framed table plan would compliment its surroundings. One of our most popular table plans (that Laura actually used at her own wedding) is a simple free standing wooden board. The stationery prints can really help bring texture and colour to the design, and a plain board like this lets the stationery (and maybe a foliage garland) do the talking.

If you want to add further textures and dimensions to your seating plan, pallets and crate displays are a lovely way to create a bit of a statement. We love putting crate display table plans together as no two are ever the same. The flowers will always be created in keeping to your colour tones and pallets and any little extras you want to include can easily be incorporated.
Another popular, but bespoke table plan we love to create is a world map. If you and your partner love to travel, why not consider naming your tables after these places? The maps create a beautiful and unique backdrop and I always tie the country in with the table lists using twine. A great option too if you are having a travel themed wedding.
