BOTTLE
SEATING CHART

This is the 'WOW' factor

A bottle seating chart has really picked up traction in the last 3 years and has quickly become the one item we get the most requests for! If you couldn’t tell, it’s our favorite. Check out some of our previous designs and then cruise down to learn more about our process.

Mirror SEATING CHART

Mirrors seating charts can be romantic and timeless with an ornate gold framed mirror or sleek and modern with a thin black frame. Such a versatile item and perfect for a seating chart!

How to start, Dana is incredible! We had our wedding in Nov 2021 and are already thinking of ways to work with Dana again. We got so many compliments from the welcome sign she made and all the table cards. We’ve even framed them up in our home! If you’re looking for a calligrapher - highly recommend working with Dana!
