Learn from Overseas Brides: 5 Popular Stylish Table Number Types That Are a Must-Have!

Always want to be inspired by overseas weddings♡

Overseas weddings are at the forefront of trends. Especially, many brides likely refer to the stylish table coordination that's full of elegance＊

Stylish table coordination includes various elements such as tabletop floral arrangements, napkins, and plates, but…

This time, we’ll introduce the standard 【table numbers】 that are also popular in Japan＊

What designs of table numbers are popular?

Overseas table numbers typically feature chic designs that blend seamlessly into table coordination.

Among them, we’ve gathered the five most popular designs＊

Brides-to-be aiming for a more sophisticated wedding venue like those abroad should take note.

Popular overseas table number design ① Acrylic

The first design I’m introducing is table corner numbers made by DIYing with acrylic boards or glass. Acrylic and glass, which are gaining popularity in Japan as materials for marriage certificates, are standard for table numbers overseas.

You can easily create them by writing directly on a glass photo frame with white Posca markers＊

If you want a more elaborate design, try cutting acrylic into circles.

Laser cutters can be found at workshops that lend out equipment or at home improvement stores, where you can have them processed.

Popular overseas table number design ② Embroidery

For brides looking to create a warm and natural table coordination, it seems that some are preparing embroidered table numbers.

The key is to display them using an "embroidery hoop," the round tool used for stitching the embroidery＊

Small embroidery hoops can be purchased starting at 100 yen.

It looks pretty challenging to embroider one for each table, but the charm lies in being able to create them in your favorite design from scratch♡

This is a recommended table number for those who want to take their time to try DIYing＊

Popular overseas table number design ③ Wood Block

If you're looking for a casual and unpretentious table coordination, this design with directly painted numbers on wood blocks is perfect.

While it’s not an elaborate design, it adds a subtle touch of style♡

Wood blocks can be easily obtained from Tokyu Hands or home improvement stores. Paint them with colored varnish to adjust to your preferred shade＊

Choose a thick board (with width on the bottom part) so that it stands upright on the table♩

Popular overseas table number design ④ IKEA Photo Frame

Affordable photo frames are very popular in overseas weddings. In Japan, photo frames from Daiso and Flying Tiger are standard, while IKEA’s stand photo frames are favored by brides abroad.

They’re incredibly affordable at just 100 yen each♩ Originally white, it’s popular to paint them with gold spray paint＊

Using pink gold spray paint will give it a cute vibe♩

You can insert paper with your favorite design inside to create themed table numbers.

Popular overseas table number design ⑤ Topper

Finally, I’ll introduce the topper type of table number. This design features a decoration that is inserted into tabletop floral arrangements＊

Popular options include natural wooden ones that blend well with the floral arrangements or glamorous gold glitter ones♡

This is also a great choice for those who want to keep the table as clutter-free as possible, aiming for a tidy coordination! ♡

After the wedding, it could also be used as a photography item to count anniversaries or your children's birthdays and months＊
