Escort Flowers are Cute ♡

There are two ways for guests to find their seats during the reception. One way is to look for their name in the seating chart received at the reception and head to the designated spot.

The other method is to receive an escort card that says "Your seat is at table number 〇" at the reception and then go to that table in the reception venue to find their seat.

Among the stylish escort card methods that are popular lately for their overseas feel, the "Escort Flower" setup, which includes flowers with the escort card, is simply wonderful ***

The Charm of Escort Flowers is Abundant ♡

Passing out escort flowers that come with flowers, rather than just paper, brings a lot of charm to the wedding ♡

① First and foremost, it makes the hearts of guests who receive the flowers feel joyful.

② It enhances the welcome space with a vibrant touch.

③ It makes the guest tables more lively.

④ It’s economical since one flower can decorate both the welcome space and the guest tables!

Indeed, no matter how beautifully the welcome space is decorated, the time spent there is limited.

Afterward, guests move to the reception area, making the decorations in the welcome space somewhat unnecessary... In that case, you might want to bring elements from the welcome space to the reception area, right?
