Perfect for a rustic wedding, these old window panes transformed into seating plans will add a nice touch to your décor.

Sourcing old windows for this project is the tricky part. You could look in building yards, antique stores, garage sales or even your local tip. Just make sure the glass in still in tact, as you will need this to write the names of your guests.

As soon as you have organised your seating arrangement you can get started with writing your guests names under their allocated table number. Crayola washable window markers are perfect for this, and you can purchase them from ebay here.

Bird cages in any colour will compliment a garden themed wedding beautifully. They can be used as a pretty seating chart and can even double as a wishing well or card holder.

Just print up your table numbers with guest names on separate lists, decorate them as you wish, and tie them to the bird cage with ribbon that matches your colour theme and your done!

One of the easiest seating charts to create, simply attaching your guests names to a large mirror can make for a very elegant seating plan.

You will need to measure the size of the mirror so you can work out how big to make each list of guests and how far to space them apart on the mirror.

Type up your guest’s names under their corresponding table numbers in your desired font, then print them off so that each list is the same size. Adding a coloured bow to each list will create a more sophisticated look, especially if you are using black ribbon.

It’s best to stick your table numbers onto the mirror using something that is easy to remove, so you could use 3M adhesive squares or even sticky tape will do the job. Just make sure the corners are stuck down well so they don’t peel back. You don’t want your seating plan looking short of professional!

This rustic seating plan is sure to impress! It’s just perfect for an outdoor wedding, and to make your own you will need: 1 old gate or a few fence palings (the number of palings will depend on how big you would like your seating chart), some vintage door knobs and a few vintage looking photo frames.

Once you’ve typed up your lists of guests under their allocated table numbers, just print them off, place them in their picture frames, then attach the frames to your old gate or fence palings. You can attach them however you like, but the door handles are quite effective and once these are attached to the timber with screws, you can easily hang your frames with some thin rope or strong ribbon. And there you have one chic looking outdoor seating chart!
