Wine Cork Escort Cards

Wine Cork Escort Cards

I stole this idea right off of the Weddingbee DIY secion! The photo had been in my inspiration folder long before I became a bee, but didn’t become reality until 2 weeks before the wedding.

A family friend of Mr. B’s owns a winery in Mendocino County and was kind enough to donate the corks for this project.

I hot glued 2 corks together and tied a 10″ purple satin ribbon around the pair. 250 corks later, those babies looked like this:

I created the escort cards on my Mac and the tables were named after villages in Guam. Luckily there were enough villages for 16 tables!

Mom and Dad Barrettes printed out all the escort cards onto thick cardstock and brought them to me in Napa. I didn’t see the final result until after the ceremony, but was so proud to see my project come to life!

Do you have a favorite idea that you’ve recreated from Weddingbee? Did your reality turn out as good as your inspiration?

Those are really cute, and different. We love our wine so that would be a nice subtle touch.

this is such a cute way to make them! Mr. L went crazy cutting ours by hand. I had some projects that looked just as good as the inspiration while some not so much.

What a great alternative to laying the corks on the long side. I wished I’d thought of this for our Winery wedding

I love the format of your escort cards! That big font looks great.
The corks are the perfect touch.

These turned out so great! I love that you just glued two corks together, looks much easier than cutting a slot into one, like I’ve seen done before!

random question but where did you and the wedding party get dressed/hair/makeup? i am also a sattui bride and am going crazy trying to find a place to get ready on the big day- that isnt too far from sattui (so i wont have to pay additional hours to the photographer and videographer)..
thanks
