• 45 days left...

  That's right...only 45 days until the wedding. Slowly, but surely, I think I'm getting things crossed off my list! :)  I've recently been thinking about my centerpieces. I've honestly had the worst time trying to figure out how I wanted my tables to look. I didn't like the look (or the price!) of floral arrangements, but I didn't want the table to feel too empty or plain either. So, without further ado, here is what I've recently come up with.

  

  Never mind that you can see one of my feet in the background, or that I set everything up on the guest bedroom floor.

  Some of you may recognize the idea, as my obsession with weddingbee.com seems to give me all kinds of grand ideas. A recent bride blogged about using drinkware instead of candle holders (brilliant, really. Why didn't I think of that?). So I rushed out to the nearest housewares department and picked up about 80 glasses for 30 dollars. Today I picked up 96 votives and tea lights (each supposedly burns 10 hours) for about 15 dollars. All in all, I'm pretty comfortable with these going on half of my tables.

  As for the other half, well I'm still deciding. Here is what was the original plan:

  

  Keep in mind, I will do a much better job centering the candles for the actual reception. However, I feel like this arrangement is missing something. I will continue to look into what I'm missing. But for now, I'm thrilled that I finally came up with one centerpiece that I love!

  More to come on last weekend's adventures! .....
