So you already know that I went crazy with
burlap at the reception
But that wasn't the only thing we decorated with.
I also went a little crazy with mason jars.
Seriously, I have no idea how James, our maitre'd, understood everything I wanted for this wedding. I dropped off boxes and boxes of
burlap and mason jars and
chalkboards and
a tree with three pages of hand written notes and he managed to make it look exactly like I imagined.
I really didn't want flowers for our centerpieces. I had my heart set on mason jars filled with candles. And we used them everywhere. On the tables, in the bathroom,
on the fireplaces. I loved how it made the room seem so romantic.
Of course, the table numbers needed a little bit of burlap too. These were so easy - a bit of burlap, some paint, a stencil and $1 frames from Michael's. But they added a perfect pop of color to the room. We made them in three colors - this orange, a darker, more metallic rust and brown.
We also found a lot of fun things from
Pinterest for the tables. This
"thank you" was one of the first things I pinned for the wedding. We printed it on the back of our menus, so one would be placed at every seat.
The
I Spy cards came from Pinterest too. We really wanted people to instagram pictures from the wedding, and thought this would be a fun way for people who weren't sure what to photograph to get in on the action!
And these pumpkins...these pumpkins were one of my favorite crafts. Of course, I found
the idea on Pinterest. They didn't just decorate the gift table, but their other appearance is a surprise for later :)
Is Pinterest one of your go to sources of inspiration too? Leave me your Pinterest profile name - I'm always looking for new people to follow!
