Rosemary wreath place cards

A fragrant decoration for a wedding

To give a wedding reception a personal touch, why not make some of the table decorations yourself? It really doesn’t have to cost much. Place cards, for instance, are really easy to make by hand, and there are endless design options. We decided to go for a natural look by tying sprigs of aromatic rosemary into small wreaths that make an attractive decoration for the place cards. You can easily add eye-catching fonts by using calligraphy pens to create an elegant, artistic look that’s perfect for a wedding. edding offers calligraphy pens in different stroke widths, giving you a range of font sizes for a wide variety of applications. Our website features a calligraphy course that includes some great hints and tips and shows you how to achieve beautiful results.

Step-by-step

Step 1

Our photo shows you at a glance all the materials you’ll need. To make the name cards, cut out rectangles measuring approx. 6 cm x 2.5 cm.

Step 2

Form the rosemary sprigs into small wreaths. Fresh rosemary is best as it bends more easily without breaking. Secure the two ends together with twine and tie with a knot.

Step 3

You’re now ready to design your DIY place cards. If you’re not familiar with using a calligraphy pen, it’s a good idea to try it out beforehand. To maintain a beautifully consistent calligraphic style, always hold the pen at the same angle and don’t let it rotate. As we mentioned earlier, we have lots of useful hints and tips for you which you can find here.
