In the age of the Instagram wedding, brides are coming up with more creative ways to add detail to their big day. Because gone are the old days of a few simple bridal portraits for your scrapbook. Your photographer will document everything from your earrings to the appetizers, immortalizing all of the hard work you've put into planning. And your guests certainly will too. So place cards are a great way to show off your style and decorate your table. Not only are the following ideas absolutely gorgeous, but they're useful! From wine cork holders to individual succulents, these clever cards will guide your guests to the right seat and give them a great photo-op to boot!
