Escort tables is a slightly new term for me here in the United Kingdom, it has been done for a few weddings I have had the privilege of attending but I must say its not done enough!
As with all trends and fashions its only a matter of time before it does hit London and the fashion of Escort tables begins to spread through the country like wildfire.
Anyway, with that said the only way to get that spark to begins to highlight the beautiful options and inspirations open to you with a selection of our favourite top ten escort tables.
Bit firstly, what is an escort table..?
Well, from our research it is a table whereby the bride and groom may opt to position favours or the guests table number.
It is a little card which will have the guests name and table number.. Its is a more active way of having a seating plan which the individual will then take away with them to the seat.
Here table plans are more popular the guests reads the plan and remembers where they are supposed to sit, or at least should remember! However who knows what may happen after cocktail hour!
So onward with the beauty..

Candles and soft lighting:
Candles are always popular for tables, receptions, escort card placements.
They really create a lovely romantic atmosphere and soften the mood.
Stemmed vases mixed with tea lights are the perfect blend to create a romantic dreamy atmosphere to your guest tables..
Just ensure there is enough light in the room for your guests to spot and find their name.
9. Floral statement :
The use of flowers and huge statement florals aligned with scattered hydrangeas really create a knock out centrepiece for your guests. Not only will the room smell absolutely divine it will also create a superb featured place for your guests to photograph and chat..
8. Symmetry:
The huge arrangements of florals alongside tea lights is a mix of our first two favourites. The cards arranged in a perfect circle to create a picturesque photograph and makes it a fluid and easy find for your guests to be able to locate their names.
7. Floral
Flowers are a popular feature for the escort table and this photograph really showcases the beauty of the hydrangea and how it automatically softens a table with its large opulent bunches. It stands out from the crowd at a reasonable budget friendly manner.
This particular table showcases neutral tones with the use of silvers ivories and natural green hues.
6.Opulent trees:
We love this photograph, an orchid tree with place settings.. The elegant ribbon strings make it such an statement eyepiece that all of your guests will be drawn to such an outstanding piece of artwork. This may take a while for 100 guests to locate their own place card- however its all part of the fun and games of the wedding!
5. Bold striking contrasting colours.
The escort table can reflect what your guests will expect to see before they enter the reception room and choosing colours and themes which compliment really works to prepare and keep the theme continuous.
4. Keep it simple.
Just candles is always a plus, it works it still looks pretty and its easy for your guests to find their names.. no fuss.. no drama just simple!
3. Theme.
If you are having a naturalistic theme the escort table should also reflect that! check out the cards and the wooden bark holder the table settings are sat into.
Its gorgeous and works well for the out door theme.
2. Table linen :
A great way to jazz up the table is through the use of textured table cloths and linen. It Really works to create a diverse texture and a new element to the decor.
1. If all else fails just do it BIG!
We love this photo, draping, soft tones, lots of candles and rose balls a simple yet stunning escort table which really draws in the crowds and is simply breath taking.
