Elegant Capiz Shell Place Cards for a Dreamy Wedding
✨ Elegant Capiz Shell Place Cards for a Dreamy Wedding ✨
When it comes to elevating a wedding tablescape, the smallest details often make the biggest impact. Recently, I had the pleasure of creating handwritten calligraphy on shimmering capiz shells, transforming them into stunning place cards for a beautiful wedding here in Toronto.
Each shell was carefully selected for its natural iridescence, then personalized with the guest’s name using luxurious ink that complemented the wedding’s colour palette. The result? A timeless keepsake that guests were thrilled to take home — equal parts décor and memento.
Why Capiz Shells Make Perfect Wedding Place Cards
Capiz shells have a unique, ethereal glow that instantly adds a touch of coastal elegance and sophistication to any table setting. Paired with custom calligraphy, they become more than place cards — they become miniature art pieces.
Here are a few reasons couples love them:
Aesthetic versatility: Works beautifully with coastal, modern, boho, or romantic wedding themes.
Personalized luxury: Each name is handwritten with care, ensuring no two pieces are exactly alike.
Guest keepsakes: They double as meaningful souvenirs long after the celebration.
Eco-friendly option: Capiz shells are natural and sustainable alternatives to paper.
Creating a Memorable Guest Experience
As a Toronto-based calligrapher, I love adding thoughtful touches to events across the GTA. Handwritten place cards are one of the best ways to make guests feel truly special. When names are written by hand — especially on something as beautiful as a capiz shell — it elevates the entire tablescape and sets the tone for an unforgettable celebration.
For this wedding, the capiz shell place cards tied in perfectly with the couple’s décor, adding subtle texture and a soft glow to each setting. Seeing the finished tables come together was pure magic!
