We'll be stringing fishing wire thru cabbage roses or peonies and hanging them from the treese. I saw this on theknot.com and fell in love with it immediately. It's going to look beautiful!
Lynette was the savior of the day. With her working at a wedding place, she knows all the ins and outs of planning a wedding. She has some beautiful ideas; ideas that I never would have thought of. Oh and the center pieces are going to be gorgeous! Even better, the flowers will be silk. They look just the same and will be much cheaper than using real flowers. Come to find out, my beautiful peonies aren't in season in November =( But, a great alternative is cabbage roses. They're just as lush and full and beautiful!
The rentals are costing us a good penny. Winfrey Point only provides 18 rectangle (ugly) tables, so we're renting round tables. We're also renting white chairs because the chairs at Winfrey are that a brown metal with writing on them. ABSOLUTELY HIDEOUS! We'll be using those, but just not in the main hall. We're going with aqua table cloths and red bows on the chairs. I want to use aqua some more and I think this will be the best way.
Oh, bad news! My candles didn't pass the fire permit test. Now I need to either find battery operated candles in bulk or buy tea lights. Either way I'm going to need to buy empty votives now. Time to start shopping again. Thankfully, Lynette has offered to buy the candles from me! What ever money I get back for all the candles can be used to buy the new stuff. Yay!
A lovely Knottie friend has given me some pointers on how to spice up this blog. Time to work on it! Night!
