A springtime wedding in a flower-focused venue begs for whimsical touches — and the seating charts at these 2025 soirees were anything but garden-variety.
Find inspiration in Meghana Reddy and Michael Smith’s woodland-inspired Fairmount Park Horticulture Center nuptials in May, which featured a charming “escort wall”: a grid of succulents (sourced by Rosier Event Rentals), each pot bearing a petite wooden plant tag with a guest’s name and table number.

Or take a cue from Talia Prusky and Jake Gordon’s May bash at Bartram’s Garden in Southwest Philly, where seating assignments were planted in sweet arrangements by Sarah Mikolowsky Salyer of Salt Floral.

And at Hajer Quilang and Matthew James Berman’s April celebration, held at Portico at Awbury Arboretum in Germantown, a seating chart by Hajer was suspended on a rustic structure rented from Lilac + Lace. After finding their places, guests plucked packets of wildflower seeds (custom by So Chic Seed Boutique on Etsy) to take home.

“Last I heard, one of my cousins planted the seeds and they have grown pretty well!” Hajer says of the favors. A wonderful way to spread the love.
