About Mrs. Strawberry

I’m Not Gonna Lie. I Like To Eat.

Everyone kept telling me that I wouldn’t have time to eat. Screw that. I MADE time. Turkey stuffed figs, wrapped in bacon? Mini cubano sandwiches? Mashed potato martini bar? Carving station? Yeah, I don’t pass those kinds of things up.

You can sorta see part of the mashed potato martini bar. And the guests clamoring for food. They look like we kept them in a cage before feeding! :)

The grapefruit margaritas were mighty strong. I won’t tell you how long I searched for pink straws. I ended up finding packs of 100 in the dollar bin at Target. Score!

A few shots of the shabby chic linens we had. We did simple runners for the tables around the dance floor and big overlays for the bigger tables.

I wish I had gotten a shot of our napkins! We had plain ivory napkins wrapped in light pink ribbon with little crystals attached to each. DAMN!!

I went a little overboard on the lanterns. They were everywhere. I also wasn’t real pleased with the shade of some of the pink flowers used…they were a little bright.

They initials were just cardboard h’s that we got from Michael’s and painted.

The table runners were from a place in Edmonds called Select Linens and Event Rentals.

I also ate at my wedding - dinner and cake! I agree, you make the time. I’m already thinking about dinner when I wake up in the morning on an ordinary day - I really look forward to meals. The wedding was no exception.

Hi there!

It looks like you have brown and pink as your wedding colors - those are mine too for my August ‘08 wedding.

I know you already started to talk to someone about buying your lanterns, but I would really appreciate it if you told me some names of where you picked those up. I have looked at several stores here in Columbus, OH and have not had any luck really…

Your menu sounds delish too…whoa! LOVE IT!

Thanks for sharing!

The lanterns are from all over. I got a lot from Marshalls, TJ Max, Fred Meyer and specialty garden shops. HTH! :)
