Wedding Inspiration: A Sunny Tabletop
With only a few weeks to go till my own wedding this August, I'm frantically trying to scurry around to sort out lots of little details. And, of course, as luck would have it suddenly I'm second guessing all the plans I'd made months ago. One detail I haven't been able to finalize are table tops for the reception. I love the idea of using decorations that can re-purposed and possibly used around the house later on. We only have eight tables, so I am hoping to have a central theme but with each table being unique.
I loved this bright, sunny tabletop on OnceWed by Chelsea of Oh My Deer. Very eclectic and charming. I adore the light fluttering petals of this DIY wonder mobile simply strung together with fishing line.
The multiple vases could easily be used later - and I love this group of small informal blooms vs. a large ostentatious arrangement. We are having a cocktail reception so it is a rather informal affair, I think this style would be a good fit for the tone of the event.
I love the idea of little thank you cards at each seat rather than place cards (always mind your manners!) The lemon wedges are a clever little accent that carries through the colour theme.
Isn't this clever? - old books glued shut then spray painted white serve as props for this tablescape. I love that my favourite little white Ikea vases have been used in this design. And I don't think that anyone would complain about lovely colour themed candy being used in the centre piece. The only danger would be that I might eat them all before we even get started.Have you seen any fun eclectic centre pieces lately? What do you think of having each table different from each other - will it make life a little easier or more difficult?
{PS - thanks again for all your input! Your comments on balloons earlier were such a big help!}

The prettiest thing...
I'm a little bit in love with this dreamy dress and flowers, it just seems like
something magical would happen if you were wearing it...

Sometimes seeing very fancy, embellished gowns makes me wish I'd picked something more like this for my own upcoming wedding rather than something more simple and understated.What type of dress would you pick?

Wedding Inspiration: L'heure magique
My inspiration for the wedding theme has come from my absolute favourite time of day - L'heure magique - the magic hour. The time when the sun is setting but the sky is still ablaze giving everyone a warm, radiant glow and when lights start to peak out and twinkle... it's always seemed magical and exciting to me.

2 - Paper Butterflies (martha stewart) - I am especially excited about this one, this is actually my special skill, cutting out paper butterflies, I've been doing it for years :)
3 - playful, wonderful photography - like one of my very favourite romantic pictures of Joanna and Alex (Cup of Jo) by amazing photographer Max Wanger.
I would really love to hear your feedback!! I have been a little bit of a reluctant bride, being already legally married, and a bit caught up in some of the stressful side of these things. I'm ready to have some fun and be creative celebrating this happy occasion!
Have any of you got any great DIY ideas to share? Or any ideas from any of the pictures above? I'm in desperate need of all assistance.
