Our wedding is forming, and a few things have been done and some decisions have been made.

I’ll start with the centerpieces: my loving aunt has bought our glass cylinders for the reception tables. Fifteen in all, they are clear with footed bases. We are planning on filling them with candy corn but as of yet, I haven’t decided whether or not to add flowers or candles. I wouldn’t mind doing both, but Mr. Kiwi won’t hear of it. “It’s too confusing” he said. What’s confusing? So that’s one less expense.

The same aunt has also purchased us a guest book and a matching pen, and I’m using a handkerchief from her as my “something borrowed” so I can do this:

I thought I’d “antique” it by soaking it in tea. Oddly enough, the handkerchief matches the guest book perfectly, which is a total coincidence.

Mr. Kiwi is letting me buy invites instead of us doing them ourselves. This leaves me with having to do our programs, favor tags, table numbers and thank you cards. So far I’m thinking of having a large seating chart that lists the table numbers with the guest’s name below it. Once they get to the table, they will see these (only as leaves, not birds):

Thankfully, a couple of things have come together recently- one step in the right direction!
